Rake

Installation

Add the following to your Gemfile:

source 'https://gem.fury.io/universityofyork/' do
  group :development do
    gem 'uoy-faculty-rake', '~> 0.1'
  end
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install --source https://gem.fury.io/universityofyork/ uoy-faculty-rake

Usage

In your Rakefile:

require 'faculty/rake'

Then you can initialise rake tasks as required:

Faculty::Rake::BaseUpdate.new 'path-to-base-remote-repository'

# For gems
Faculty::Rake::GemRename.new

# For sinatra apps
Faculty::Rake::DockerTasks.new
Faculty::Rake::NodeTasks.new
Faculty::Rake::SinatraInit.new

# For AWS apps
Faculty::Rake::Deploy.new

Development

Versioning

Your Gem's version is picked up automatically from lib/faculty/rake.rb. When any changes are pushed to master, after the normal CI tasks the pipeline will push to gemfury automatically. The usual workflow is:

• For minor changes, update VERSION and make the change in a single commit

• For anything else, create a branch and set VERSION to the version you're aiming to release for. Make the changes; when the branch is merged, the gem will be uploaded.

Note that gemfury will never overwrite an existing gem version, even if the old one is yanked!

Running tests

Tests can be run via rake: rake spec - this doesn't run performance tests; they can be run separately via rake perf.

You can also run rspec normally e.g. bundle exec rspec -fd.

Identifying Performance Tests

If you have performance tests that take a while, tag the context / describe block like this:

context 'when foo is bar baz', :perf do
  ...
end
