Hi guys,

I am wondering what would be the best way to change the project
generator to a maven-style directory-structure?
Would other generators, like class-generators, be able to work with
different directory-structures?

Cheers,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,

Maybe trial out building a custom generator (I did a post on this
http://www.newtriks.com/?p=1084), hopefully the class generators would still
be cool?

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon,

I came across your post and was not sure if thats what I was looking for.

It looks like the project-generator is baked into the sprout-as3 command.
So i would need to create a new command.

I also saw that options are available, like --src & --test to specify the paths,
but I would have to append them to every generator i want to use.

In buildr we use so called Layouts to define different directory structures for projects:
http://buildr.apache.org/extending.html#layouts

That might be a nice addon for sprouts.

Hey Dominic,

There isn't a great solution to this problem in Sprouts yet. As you found,
you have 2 options today.

  1) Create a custom project generator, and then custom class, test and
suite generators.
  2) Pass those same arguments every time you call a generator.

Some additional options that I've considered (and various combinations and
permutations) are:

  1) Serialize any parameters that are used on a project generator and use
those values as the defaults for any subsequent generator runs within the
project. This seemed reasonably simple to implement and understand, but
suffers from some potentially surprising behavior as you move from one
project to another. Then it gets into where to put the serialized generator
data...

  2) Provide an option to 'update defaults' on any generator and share
defaults per-project and/or per-system, similarly to the templates
themselves.

It looks like your layout files provide a DSL for persisting those template
values, maybe there's some way to combine your approach with regular command
line usage?

Ideas or thoughts welcomed -

Thanks!

Luke

Hi Luke,

sorry that I am coming back to this so late.

I would love to have some system in sprouts to support different directory-layouts for projects.
A possibility to achieve this would be through the use of configuration files in the project directory,
maybe project/.sprouts/config.rb. If that file is not found we could fallback to ~/.sprouts/config.rb.
Or load both and let the project-config overwrite the system-config.

I've attached the Layout class from buildr so you can have a look at it.

Hey Dominic,

Thanks for following up!

The lateness is actually appreciated as now is a better time (for me) to
work on this issue. :-)

I like the direction you're taking with project-specific settings falling
back to user account settings.

As far as naming goes, I'd prefer to indicate that these settings are
associated with 'generators' rather than just 'sprouts'.

Maybe it could be something like:

[PROJECT]/.sprouts/generator_config.rb

For user home settings, I found that it's helpful to store this kind of
information behind a versioned folder so that new versions of Sprouts can
break compatibility without behaving in unexpected ways. I try hard not to
change second-tier revisions unless something significant changed.

So I'd rather see a home dir solution that looks more like:

[USER_HOME]/.sprouts/[SPROUT_VERSION].[SPROUT_REVISION]/generator_config.rb
    e.g. /Users/lbayes/.sprouts/1.1/generator_config.rb

As with Executable locations, we could also support environment vars - which
I believe would supersede both of the previous options. Maybe somthing like:

SPROUT_GENERATOR_CONFIG=/path/to/your/config

This could be provided on the command line, exported from
.bash_profile/.bashrc or set in the system registry if that's how you roll.

I'm open to other names too... Any ideas appreciated.

I considered:

* generators.rb: This seemed too general to me, I like your use of the
'config' term.
* gen_config.rb: This seemed too terse

Other ideas?

Thanks,

Luke

Hey,

my naming and path-directories were just quickly made up and can be changed at your will :)
Versioning the directories is a good idea to keep older versions working.

I wouldn't put the configuration on the generators level, as directory layouts would also matter to the rake builds.
When we got layouts like this we could also split up the generators for source files and Rakefiles/buildfiles, so they can be generated seperatedly,
this would open the door to bring support for other build-systems like Ant, Maven or Buildr.

Personally I like having default locations/directories for application-configs because i don't need to set anything up.
And keeping track of ENV vars is a pain in the ass :) but using it to overwrite the default config is a way for users to do something out-of-the-box.

If you want to team up on this I would love to help out.

Cheers,

This all sounds cool, if I can muck-in in any way even if its testing etc please holla as I would like to keep updated on progress of this and I think it would help further my understanding of sprouts plus ruby and rake?
