I downloaded the ruby Twitter gem source code and am trying to generate the documentation using yard, which I installed via gem install yard
. In the rakefile, I found the following, which I assume is used to generate the docs for the Twitter gem:
require 'yard'
YARD::Rake::YardocTask.new
I tried to require yard
in irb and then run YARD::Rake::YardocTask.new
but nothing happened.
Can you help me get on the right track?
Through require 'rake/clean' Rake provides clean and clobber tasks: clean. Clean up the project by deleting scratch files and backup files. Add files to the CLEAN FileList to have the clean target handle them.
What is the purpose of the rakefile available in the demo directory in Ruby? The purpose of this simple question is to make sure a developer is familiar with test-driven development.
Rake is a popular task runner for Ruby and Rails applications. For example, Rails provides the predefined Rake tasks for creating databases, running migrations, and performing tests. You can also create custom tasks to automate specific actions - run code analysis tools, backup databases, and so on.
Simply create a new file and name it as task. rake. Normally we put the rake task in directory lib/tasks. But you can put it anywhere you like.
From the YARD docs:
The second most obvious is to generate docs via a Rake task. You can do this by adding the following to your
Rakefile
:YARD::Rake::YardocTask.new do |t| t.files = ['lib/**/*.rb', OTHER_PATHS] # optional t.options = ['--any', '--extra', '--opts'] # optional end
both the
files
andoptions
settings are optional.files
will default tolib/**/*.rb
andoptions
will represents any options you might want to add. Again, a full list of options is available by typingyardoc --help
in a shell. You can also override the options at the Rake command-line with the OPTS environment variable:$ rake yard OPTS='--any --extra --opts'
To summarize: after adding YARD::Rake::YardocTask.new
to your Rakefile
, run rake yard
.
