Question

the buildr docs suggest using profiles.yaml for managing settings. however, i would like a way to define settings which an individual dev would use to run locally and thus shouldn't be in scm. is there a preferred way of doing this?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

FWIW, I ended up with:

path = File.dirname(@application.rakefile)
loc = YAML.load(File.read(File.join(path, "profiles.local.yml")))
Buildr.settings.profiles.merge!(loc)

OTHER TIPS

Your solution looks good. Using buildr's _ function you can cut it down slightly:

Buildr.settings.profiles.merge!(
  YAML.load(File.read(_("profiles.local.yml")))

Put your local properties to local.rb, add to buildfile

require 'local'
