Rake::Tilde

Run rake tasks when files change. No changes necessary to your Rakefile.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rake-tilde'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rake-tilde

Usage

This gem monkeypatch's Rake to intercept any task that begins with ~. In that case thet task is run whenever any files in the project change. This is a basic wrapper around the listen gem.

More interesting things can be done by specifying folders, ignores, etc for tasks:

task :woo do
  puts "woo"
end

listen to: :woo, path: "/somewhere-else", ignore: /\.rb$/ do |modified, added, removed|
  puts "woooooo"
end

Then run it like this:

$ rake ~woo
