GitHub Dashboard #8

Goal of this iteration: Enhance :release task and use version from VERSION file

Currently the version defined in Dashboard.VERSION has to be updated manually. Well, this needs to changed. Therefore I created a file VERSION which contains the actual version of the code base. I also created a VersionFilter in the Assetfile which reads the version from VERSION and replaces all VERSION: 'x.y.z' with the actual version:

Assetfile

8

10

class VersionFilter < Filter
  def generate_output(inputs, output)
    version = File.read("VERSION").strip
    inputs.each do |input|
      result = input.read
      result.gsub!(/VERSION: '.*'/, "VERSION: '#{version}'")
      output.write(result)
    end
  end
end

I also enhanced the :release task of the Rakefile so it automatically deploys the current version of the dashboard, tags the current code base and bumps the version.

def version
  File.read("VERSION").strip
end

desc "Bumps current version"
task :bump_version do
  next_version = Versionomy.parse(version).bump(:tiny)

  print "Enter next version (#{next_version}): "
  user_input = STDIN.gets.chomp
  next_version = user_input unless user_input.empty?

  File.open('VERSION', 'w') { |f| f.write( next_version ) }
  system "git commit VERSION -m 'Bump to new version #{next_version}'"
end

desc "Tag current code with current version"
task :release => :deploy do
  system "git tag -a v#{version}"
  system "git push --tag"

  Rake::Task["bump_version"].invoke
end
