[Ruby on Rails] Found a cool svn rake task

Posted by Tony under Developers Corner

So SVN has you down because you always have to remove /tmp/, /log/, /db/ and reconfiguring your database.yml file? These are especially tedious in group settings. But never fear here is a great rake task to setup your projects svn properties so you won’t have to worry about it any more.

desc "Configure Subversion for Rails"
 
task :configure_for_svn do
 
  system "svn remove log/*"
 
  system "svn commit -m 'removing all log files from subversion'"
 
  system 'svn propset svn:ignore "*.log" log/'
 
  system "svn update log/"
 
  system "svn commit -m 'Ignoring all files in /log/ ending in .log'"
 
  system 'svn propset svn:ignore "*.db" db/'
 
  system "svn update db/"
 
  system "svn commit -m 'Ignoring all files in /db/ ending in .db'"
 
  system "svn move config/database.yml config/database.example"
 
  system "svn commit -m 'Moving database.yml to database.example to provide a template for anyone who checks out the code'"
 
  system 'svn propset svn:ignore "database.yml" config/'
 
  system "svn update config/"
 
  system "svn commit -m 'Ignoring database.yml'"
 
  system "svn remove tmp/*"
 
  system "svn commit -m 'Removing /tmp/ folder'"
 
  system 'svn propset svn:ignore "*" tmp/'
 
end
 
desc "Add new files to subversion"
 
task :add_new_files do
 
   system "svn status | grep '^\?' | sed -e 's/? *//' | sed -e 's/ /\ /g' | xargs svn add"
 
end
 
desc "shortcut for adding new files"
 
task :add => [ :add_new_files ]
