Method: Cms.scrub_path

Defined in:
lib/cms/init.rb

.scrub_path(path) ⇒ Object

This next ‘hack’ is to allow script/generate browser_cms to work on Windows machines. I’m not sure why this is necessary.

This Generator is adding an absolute file path to the manifest, which is file (like a .js or migration) in the gem directory on the developers’s machine, rather than just a relative path with the rails_generator directory. On windows, this will mean you are basically doing this.

m.file “C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/browsercms-3.0.0/public/javascripts/jquery-ui.js”, “testing/jquery-ui.js”

When the generator hits this command during playback, it will throw an error like this:

Pattern 'c' matches more than one generator: content_block, controller

The generator then fails and stops copying. Stripping the C: off the front seems to fix this problem. I.e. This command correctly copies the file on Windows XP.

m.file "/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/browsercms-3.0.0/public/javascripts/jquery-ui.js", "testing/jquery-ui.js"
