  • State changed from “new” to “open”

  I found that the generate and destroy scripts are created automatically by Rubigen with the following line in ahn_generator.rb:

  m.dependency "install_rubigen_scripts", [destination_root, 'ahn', 'adhearsion', 'test_spec'], :shebang => options[:shebang], :collision => :force
  

  It seems that Rubigen must generate scripts that work outside of an installed gem.

  Isn't rubigen a dependent gem of adhearsion already? Is there a problem with just adding ['rubigen', '>=1.1.1'] to the hoe dependency list?

  Or am I missing the problem...

  Yeah, it's not a gem dependency problem.

  Remember the issue I was experiencing with the app generator? When the Adhearsion gem was installed, everything was peachy, but when I tried to run the generator directly without the gem installed, it'd say "Could not find generator".

  When the Adhearsion gem isn't installed, I'm experiencing this same issue.

  ~/Desktop $ gem list adhearsion

  Installed Generators
    Rubygems: test_unit
    Builtin: test_unit
  
  More are available at http://rubigen.rubyforge.org/
  Run generate with no arguments for usage information
       ./script/generate test_unit
  
  ~/Desktop/foobar $ ./script/generate component phone_hero
  Couldn't find 'component' generator
  ~/Desktop/foobar $
  

  In this terminal output, notice how

  • Adhearsion isn't installed as a gem
  • Adhearsion project creation works as it should
  • The script/generate and script/destroy files are there
  • Running script/generate alone shows that only a test_unit generator could be found
  • Generating a component failed with the message "Couldn't find 'component' generator"

  Ahh, this is more difficult - the script/generate script doesn't know where you have your ahn edge src stored.

  In Rails, you'd put edge rails in vendor/rails and rails_generator would look there for generators.

  We can do the same for ahn if you want to support vendor/ahn within each ahn app.

  If anything, a component should be able to expose new generators. For now, let's not worry about application-specific generators and assume that component generation is something every Adhearsion app should allow. This is actually why that "script" folder irks me so much.

  Dr Nic, I think this is good evidence that sticking the generator into the "ahn" command makes sense. If that's the case, we can always use __FILE__ and get the exact directory from which the Adhearsion process was loaded.

  I propose this syntax:

  ahn create:component phone_hero [/path/to/app]
  

  When no path is given, it'll default to the current directory.

  Do you think this'll help?
