Finding the path to a sprouts tool

[Simon Gregory]

I'm trying to harmonise the setup of my project so developers have an easy time getting up and running. The project is using sprouts to build and cucumber + melomel for functional testing. On the cucumber side we need to source and run ADL, and I'd like to be automatically discovering where sprouts is storing the binary.

In my cucumber support classes (so Rake isn't involved) creating an instance of FlashSDK::ADL.new and inspecting it's properties isn't proving very fruitful. Does anyone have any idea of how I could get to the path I'm after?

Thanks,
Simon

Hey Simon,

I think you're looking for 'binary_path'.

As long as you're in Ruby, you should be able to do something like:

    require 'flashsdk'

    puts "Path: #{FlashSDK::ADL.new().binary_path}"

The answer was hiding in 'executable/base.rb' here:

https://github.com/lukebayes/project-sprouts/blob/master/lib/sprout/executable/base.rb#L380

Thanks!

Luke

Thanks Luke,

That's spot on :)

There's no excuse for me not finding that myself. I scanned to the 'private' at

https://github.com/lukebayes/project-sprouts/blob/master/lib/sprout/executable/base.rb#L82

And just didn't read any further (even though I know you can declare public anywhere, or dig in with send etc). Ended up spending half an hour with ruby-debug trying to inspect a adl instance before I figured the advice of someone wiser was needed. I guess it was one of those code blind moments you get from time to time.

Cheers,
Simon

Sorry for the confusion. I fully concede that it's very bad style to put public junk after private junk. I would have stopped reading there too.

If you're interested in cleaning that up, I'd be happy to take a pull request.

Thanks for your ongoing patience!
