garlic - lightweight continuous integration for rails using git

This is not a CI server, use cruisecontrol.rb for that. This is a simple set of rake tasks that let you specify a bunch of rails builds to run against, and dependencies to install.

It works by cloning git repos for all your dependencies (so they all must be on git), and then using git to checkout various tags and branches to build your app against.

Example

See it in action by doing this:

  git clone git://github.com/ianwhite/inherit_views
  cd inherit_views
  rake cruise

This will clone all the required git repos (done only once), set up the target railses (done once), then run the targets.

Notes:

To run the specs again, you can do rake garlic:run
To configure the dependencies and targets, take a look at the top level Rakefile
- inherit_views doesn’t work with 1.2.x, to test this try adding
```
  target '1.2.6', :tag => 'v1.2.6'
```
  in the Rakefile, then running
```
  rake garlic:prepare
  rake garlic:run
```
  and you’ll see that it fails against 1.2.6
In this example, the garlic repo has been added using braid, but you could add it with submodules, or just have a completely different repo which does your CI.

Example config

In case you don’t feel like downloading the above repo, here’s the config:

   require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'garlic/lib/garlic_tasks')

   garlic do
     # repo, give a url, and optional branch
     repo 'rails', :url => 'git://github.com/rails/rails'
     repo 'rspec', :url => 'git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec'
     repo 'rspec-rails', :url => 'git://github.com/ianwhite/rspec-rails'
     repo 'inherit_views', :url => '.'

     # for target, default repo is 'rails', default tree is 'master'
     target 'edge'
     target '2.0-stable', :branch => 'origin/2-0-stable'
     target '2.0.2', :tag => 'v2.0.2'

     # this stuff applies to all targets
     all_targets do
       prepare do
         plugin 'rspec'
         plugin 'inherit_views'
         plugin 'rspec-rails', :branch => 'aliased-render-partial' do
           sh "script/server rspec -f"
         end
       end

       run do
         cd "vendor/plugins/inherit_views" do
           sh "rake cruise"
         end
       end
     end
   end
