Description
Rake is a build automation tool written in Ruby. It allows you to specify tasks and describe dependencies as well as group tasks in a namespace. Rake uses Ruby’s anonymous function blocks to define various tasks, allowing the use of the Ruby syntax. Rake’s goal is to automate build processes quickly and expressively.
“Rake Task Management Essentials” is a practical guide that covers the latest techniques in building, testing, and debugging rake tasks to solve real-world automation challenges. The book starts with a basic knowledge of Rake, allowing you to solve repetitive tasks. Then it provides you with information about processes performed with files, which is crucial for understanding the application of the tool. It includes demonstrations to show you how tasks can be run in parallel and how they can be applied in practice. Thereafter, it integrates Rake with Ruby with the help of simple and clear examples. By the end of this book, you will know how Rake has changed the programming world, especially in the Ruby community.
What You Will Learn
Use the rake command-line tool efficiently
Learn Rake’s language to write clear custom tasks
Run tasks in parallel to speed up the overall runtime of the tasks used
Work with file transformations to manage file tasks
Refactor a Rake project with the rules, prerequisites, and other technical features built into Rake tools
Configure a scheduler to run recurring tasks on a server
Configure continuous integration with Rake using a Jenkins example
Integrate Rake with the Rails web framework to write Rails-specific rake tasks
