Zammad::SZPM

This gem provides a class to parse, manipulate and store SZPM files and create ZPM strings from them.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'zammad-szpm'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install zammad-szpm

Usage

First create an instance via passing the location to the .szpm file.

require 'zammad/szpm'

szpm = Zammad::SZPM.new 'path/to/Zammad-Package.szpm'

Create version

A new version can be created via passing the wanted version number and a change_log:

szpm_hash_structure = szpm.version('1.0.1', 'Created first bug fix.')

Add build information

It's recommended to add the build host and build date to the ZPM file. Give the build host as a parameter with to add the build information via:

szpm_hash_structure = szpm.add_build_information('http://build.host.tld')

Add file

To add additional files to the "FileList" structure of the (S)ZPM file call this method with the path and an optional permission integer (default is 644):

szpm_hash_structure = szpm.add_file('path/to/file.rb')

# equals

szpm_hash_structure = szpm.add_file('path/to/file.rb', 664)

Store changes

In case you want to store the changes you have made to the original SZPM file call this method:

szpm_hash_structure = szpm.store

Parse SZPM file

In limited cases it might necessary to re-parse the SZPM file again. Do this with:

szpm_hash_structure = szpm.parse

Get ZPM string

After all changes are made you might want to create a ZPM file. To receive the ZPM XML string with Base64 encoded files call this method:

zpm_xml_string = szpm.zpm

Planned and wanted features

Feel free to implement one of those or any other:

  • Accept filehandle as constructor parameter.
  • Accept SZPM content string as constructor parameter.
  • Write ZPM file instead of only returning the string.
  • Manipulate all the other attributes.
  • Create SZPM file from a Hash structure.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Tests

The tests are currently in an external project since there is business logic in them. In future releases this tests will be added to this gem repository as it should be.
