Spool output of shell commands

[rellim4lla]

Hi

Can you spool the output of a shell command to the console so the end
user can see what is happening? I am currently doing this for long
processes...

log_block "doing a long shell command" do
shell "xxxxxx"
end

For long processes that are internally providing feedback I would like
to pass this onto the console the dep was launched from.

Cheers

Yep:

shell "blah", :log => true

Should do the trick.

Also, there's a shorthand for the case you're using, where you have a shell call within a log_block, e.g.

log_shell "running the spec suite", "rake spec"

That results in "running the spec suite... done.", so it's not intended for showing the output of the shell command.
