# EasyAppHelper
|
|
2
|
-
|
|
3
|
-
**This [gem][EAP] aims at providing useful helpers for command line applications.**
|
|
4
|
-
|
|
5
|
-
This is a complete rewrite of the initial easy_app_helper gem. **It is not compatible with
|
|
6
|
-
apps designed for easy_app_helper prior to version 1.0.0**, although they could be very easily adapted
|
|
7
|
-
(anyway you always specify your gem dependencies using the [pessimistic version operator]
|
|
8
|
-
(http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/16#page74), don't you ?). Older applications should explicitly
|
|
9
|
-
require to use the latest version of the 0.x.x series instead. The config files themselves remain
|
|
10
|
-
compatible with all versions of **EasyAppHelper**, as they are actually just plain Yaml files...
|
|
11
|
-
|
|
12
|
-
The new **EasyAppHelper** module provides:
|
|
13
|
-
|
|
14
|
-
* A **super charged Config class** that:
|
|
15
|
-
* Manages **multiple sources of configuration**(command line, multiple config files...) in a **layered config**.
|
|
16
|
-
* Provides an **easy to customize merge mechanism** for the different **config layers** that renders a "live view"
|
|
17
|
-
of the merged configuration, while keeping a way to access or modify independently any of them.
|
|
18
|
-
* Allows **flexibility** when dealing with modification and provides a way to roll back modifications done to config
|
|
19
|
-
anytime, fully reload it, blast it... Export feature could be very easily added and will probably.
|
|
20
|
-
* A **Logger tightly coupled with the Config** class, that will behave regarding options specified be it from
|
|
21
|
-
command line or from any source(layer) of the config object...
|
|
22
|
-
* Embeds [Slop][slop] to handle **command line parameters** and keeps all parameters specified from the command
|
|
23
|
-
line in a **dedicated layer of the config object**.
|
|
24
|
-
* A mechanism that ensures that as soon as you access any of the objects or methods exposed by EasyAppHelper,
|
|
25
|
-
all of them are **fully configured and ready to be used**.
|
|
26
|
-
|
|
27
|
-
If you are writing command line applications, I hope you will like it because it's very easy to use,
|
|
28
|
-
and as unobtrusive as possible (you choose when you want to include or use as a module) while providing
|
|
29
|
-
a ready-for-prod config, logger and command line management.
|
|
30
|
-
|
|
31
|
-
|
|
32
|
-
Currently the only runtime dependency is the cool [Slop gem][slop] which is used to process the command line options.

[Why this gem][4] ?
|
|
35
|
-
|
|
36

-
|
|
37
|
-
|
|
38
|
-
## Installation
|
|
39
|
-
|
|
40
|
-
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
|
|
41
|
-
|
|
42
|
-
gem 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
43
|
-
|
|
44
|
-
And then execute:
|
|
45
|
-
|
|
46
|
-
$ bundle
|
|
47
|
-
|
|
48
|
-
Or install it yourself as:
|
|
49
|
-
|
|
50
|
-
$ gem install easy_app_helper
|
|
51
|
-
|
|
52
|
-
|
|
53
|
-
|
|
54
|
-
|
|
55
|
-
## Usage
|
|
56
|
-
|
|
57
|
-
To use it, once you installed them, you just need to require it:
|
|
58
|
-
|
|
59
|
-
```ruby
|
|
60
|
-
require 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
61
|
-
```
|
|
62
|
-
|
|
63
|
-
Then can can immediately access the logger or the config objects. Here under a first example:
|
|
64
|
-
|
|
65
|
-
```ruby
|
|
66
|
-
require 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
67
|
-
|
|
68
|
-
# You can directly access the config or the logger through the **EasyAppHelper** module
|
|
69
|
-
puts "The application verbose flag is #{EasyAppHelper.config[:verbose]}"
|
|
70
|
-
|
|
71
|
-
# You can directly use the logger according to the command line flags
|
|
72
|
-
# This will do nothing unless --debug is set and --log-level is set to the correct level
|
|
73
|
-
EasyAppHelper.logger.info "Hi guys!"
|
|
74
|
-
|
|
75
|
-
# Fed up with the **EasyAppHelper** prefix ? Just include the module where you want
|
|
76
|
-
include EasyAppHelper
|
|
77
|
-
|
|
78
|
-
# You can override programmatically any part of the config
|
|
79
|
-
config[:debug] = true
|
|
80
|
-
logger.level = 1
|
|
81
|
-
config[:test] = 'Groovy'
|
|
82
|
-
EasyAppHelper.logger.info "Hi guys!... again"
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
84
|
-
# You can see the internals of the config
|
|
85
|
-
puts config.internal_configs.to_yaml

|

146
|
-
|
|
147
|
-
# It is actually one of the few methods added to regular Logger class (The added value of this logger
|
|
148
|
-
# is much more to be tightly coupled with the config object). Thus could access it like that:
|
|
149
|
-
logger.puts_and_logs "Hi world"
|
|
150
|
-
|
|
151
|
-
# or even
|
|
152
|
-
EasyAppHelper.logger.puts_and_logs "Hi world... 3 is enough."
|
|
153
|
-
```
|
|
154
|
-
|
|
155
|
-
|
|
156
|
-
## Configuration layers
|
|
157
|
-
|
|
158
|
-
**EasyAppHelper** will look for files in numerous places. **Both Unix and Windows places are handled**.
|
|
159
|
-
All the files are [Yaml][yaml] files but could have names with different extensions.
|
|
160
|
-
|
|
161
|
-
You can look in the [classes documentation][doc] to know exactly which extensions and places the config
|
|
162
|
-
files are looked for.
|
|
163
|
-
|
|
164
|
-
### System config file
|
|
165
|
-
|
|
166
|
-
This config file is common to all applications that use EasyAppHelper. For example on a Unix system
|
|
167
|
-
regarding the rules described above, the framework will for the following files in that order:
|
|
168
|
-
|
|
169
|
-
```text
|
|
170
|
-
# It will be loaded in the :system layer
|
|
171
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.conf
|
|
172
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.yml
|
|
173
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.cfg
|
|
174
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.yaml
|
|
175
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.CFG
|
|
176
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.YML
|
|
177
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.YAML
|
|
178
|
-
/etc/EasyAppHelper.Yaml
|
|
179
|
-
```
|
|
180
|
-
|
|
181
|
-
### Application config files
|
|
182
|
-
|
|
183
|
-
Application config file names are determined from the config.script_filename property. It initially contains
|
|
184
|
-
the bare name of the script(path and extension removed), but you can replace with whatever you want. Changing
|
|
185
|
-
this property causes actually the impacted files to be reloaded.
|
|
186
|
-
|
|
187
|
-
It is in fact a two level configuration. One is global (the :global layer) and the other is at user level (the
|
|
188
|
-
:user layer).
|
|
189
|
-
|
|
190
|
-
For example on a Unix system or cygwin
|
|
191
|
-
|
|
192
|
-
```text
|
|
193
|
-
# For the :global layer
|
|
194

-

-
|
|
221
|
-
### Command line specified config file
|
|
222
|
-
|
|
223
|
-
The command line option ```--config-file``` provides a way to specify explicitly a config file. On top of this the
|
|
224
|
-
option ```--config-override``` tells **EasyAppHelper** to ignore :system, :global and :user levels.
|
|
225
|
-
|
|
226
|
-
The file will be loaded in a separated layer called :specific_file
|
|
227
|
-
|
|
228
|
-
|
|
229
|
-
### The command line options
|
|
230
|
-
|
|
231
|
-
**EasyAppHelper** already provides by default some command line options. Imagine you have the following program.
|
|
232
|
-
|
|
233
|
-
```ruby
|
|
234
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
|
|
235
|
-
|
|
236
|
-

243
|
-

|
|
244
|
-
|
|
245
|
-
|
|
246
|
-
def initialize
|
|
247
|
-
# Providing this data is optional but brings better logging and online help
|
|
248
|
-
config.describes_application(app_name: APP_NAME, app_version: VERSION, app_description: DESCRIPTION)
|
|
249
|
-
end
|

250
|
-
|
|
251
|
-
|
|
252
|
-
def run
|
|
253
|
-
if config[:help]
|
|
254
|
-
puts config.help
|
|
255
|
-
exit 0
|
|
256
|
-
end
|
|
257
|
-
puts_and_logs "Application is starting"
|
|
258
|
-
do_some_processing
|
|
259
|
-
end
|
|
260
|

|

def do_some_processing

|
|

|
|
269
|
-
```
|
|
270
|
-
|
|
271
|
-
And you run it without any command line option
|
|
272
|
-
|
|
273
|
-
```text
|
|
274
|
-

-- Debug and logging options ---------------------------------------------------
|
|
297
|
-
--debug Run in debug mode.
|
|
298
|
-
--debug-on-err Run in debug mode with output to stderr.
|
|
299
|
-
--log-level Log level from 0 to 5, default 2.
|
|
300
|
-
--log-file File to log to.
|
|
301
|
-
|
|
302
|
-
```
|
|
303
|
-
You see there the online help. And then the program exists.
|
|
304
|
-
|
|
305
|
-
Let's try the ```--verbose``` flag
|
|
306
|
-
|
|
307
|
-
```text
|
|
308
|
-
./test4_app.rb --verbose
|
|
309
|
-
Application is starting
|
|
310
|
-
Starting some heavy processing
|
|
311
|
-
```
|
|
312
|
-
|
|
313
|
-
You see that the puts_and_logs is sensitive to the ```--verbose``` switch...
|
|
314
|
-
|
|
315
|
-
But what if I debug
|
|
316
|
-
```text
|
|
317
|
-
./test4_app.rb --debug
|
|
318
|
-
```
|
|
319
|
-
|
|
320
|
-
Humm... nothing... Let's provide the log level
|
|
321
|
-
|
|
322
|
-
```text
|
|
323
|
-
./test4_app.rb --debug --log-level 0
|
|
324
|
-
I, [2013-06-23T19:37:24.975392 #10276] INFO -- My super application: Application is starting
|
|
325
|
-
I, [2013-06-23T19:37:24.975592 #10276] INFO -- My super application: Starting some heavy processing
|
|
326
|
-
```
|
|
327
|
-
|
|
328
|
-
You see there that the puts_and_logs logs as well with the log level 1 (Info)... Nice looks like it was claiming
|
|
329
|
-
this in its name... ;-)
|
|
330
|
-
|
|
331
|
-
If I mix ?
|
|
332
|
-
|
|
333
|
-
```text
|
|
334
|
-
./test4_app.rb --debug --log-level 0 --verbose
|
|
335
|
-
Application is starting
|
|
336
|
-
I, [2013-06-23T19:39:05.712558 #11768] INFO -- My super application: Application is starting
|
|
337
|
-

|
|
338
|
-
I, [2013-06-23T19:39:05.712834 #11768] INFO -- My super application: Starting some heavy processing
|
|
339
|
-
```
|
|
340
|
-
|
|
341
|
-
So far so good...
|
|
342

### Specifying command line parameters
|
|
344
|
-
|
|
345
|
-
As said, internally **EasyAppHelper** uses the [Slop gem][slop] to handle the command line parameters.
|
|
346
|
-
You can configure the internal Slop object by calling the add_command_line_section method of the config
|
|
347
|
-
object. You could create a method that setup your application command line parameters like this:
|
|
348
|
-
|
|
349
|
-
```ruby
|
|
350
|
-
def add_cmd_line_options
|
|
351
|
-
config.add_command_line_section do |slop|
|
|
352
|
-
slop.on :u, :useless, 'Stupid option', :argument => false
|
|
353
|
-
slop.on :anint, 'Stupid option with integer argument', :argument => true, :as => Integer
|
|
354
|
-
end
|
|
355
|
-
end
|
|
356
|
-
|
|
357
|
-
```
|
|
358
|
-
|
|
359
|
-
See [Slop gem][slop] API documentation for more options.
|
|
360

|

|

|
|
362
|
-
### Debugging the framework itself
|
|
363
|
-
|
|
364
|
-
If you want, you can even debug what happens during **EasyAppHelper** initialisation, for this you can use the
|
|
365
|
-
```DEBUG_EASY_MODULES``` environment variable. As how and where everything has to be logged is only specified when
|
|
366
|
-
you actually provide command line options, **EasyAppHelper** provides a temporary logger to itself and will
|
|
367
|
-
after all dump the logger content to the logger you specified and if you specify... So that you don't miss a log.
|
|
368
|
-
|
|
369
|
-
```text
|
|
370
|
-
$ DEBUG_EASY_MODULES=y ruby ./test4_app.rb

# EasyAppHelper
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
**This [gem][EAP] aims at providing useful helpers for command line applications.**
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
This is a complete rewrite of the initial easy_app_helper gem. **It is not compatible with
|
|
6
|
+
apps designed for easy_app_helper prior to version 1.0.0**, although they could be very easily adapted
|
|
7
|
+
(anyway you always specify your gem dependencies using the [pessimistic version operator]
|
|
8
|
+
(http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/16#page74), don't you ?). Older applications should explicitly
|
|
9
|
+
require to use the latest version of the 0.x.x series instead. The config files themselves remain
|
|
10
|
+
compatible with all versions of **EasyAppHelper**, as they are actually just plain Yaml files...
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
The new **EasyAppHelper** module provides:
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
* A **super charged Config class** that:
|
|
15
|
+
* Manages **multiple sources of configuration**(command line, multiple config files...) in a **layered config**.
|
|
16
|
+
* Provides an **easy to customize merge mechanism** for the different **config layers** that renders a "live view"
|
|
17
|
+
of the merged configuration, while keeping a way to access or modify independently any of them.
|
|
18
|
+
* Allows **flexibility** when dealing with modification and provides a way to roll back modifications done to config
|
|
19
|
+
anytime, fully reload it, blast it... Export feature could be very easily added and will probably.
|
|
20
|
+
* A **Logger tightly coupled with the Config** class, that will behave regarding options specified be it from
|
|
21
|
+
command line or from any source(layer) of the config object...
|
|
22
|
+
* Embeds [Slop][slop] to handle **command line parameters** and keeps all parameters specified from the command
|
|
23
|
+
line in a **dedicated layer of the config object**.
|
|
24
|
+
* A mechanism that ensures that as soon as you access any of the objects or methods exposed by EasyAppHelper,
|
|
25
|
+
all of them are **fully configured and ready to be used**.
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
If you are writing command line applications, I hope you will like it because it's very easy to use,
|
|
28
|
+
and as unobtrusive as possible (you choose when you want to include or use as a module) while providing
|
|
29
|
+
a ready-for-prod config, logger and command line management.
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
Currently the only runtime dependency is the cool [Slop gem][slop] which is used to process the command line options.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
[Why this gem][4] ?
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
## Installation
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
gem 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
And then execute:
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
$ bundle
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
Or install it yourself as:
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
$ gem install easy_app_helper
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
## Usage
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
To use it, once you installed them, you just need to require it:
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
```ruby
|
|
60
|
+
require 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
61
|
+
```
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
Then can can immediately access the logger or the config objects. Here under a first example:
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
```ruby
|
|
66
|
+
require 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
# You can directly access the config or the logger through the **EasyAppHelper** module
|
|
69
|
+
puts "The application verbose flag is #{EasyAppHelper.config[:verbose]}"
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
# You can directly use the logger according to the command line flags
|
|
72
|
+
# This will do nothing unless --debug is set and --log-level is set to the correct level
|
|
73
|
+
EasyAppHelper.logger.info "Hi guys!"
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
# Fed up with the **EasyAppHelper** prefix ? Just include the module where you want
|
|
76
|
+
include EasyAppHelper
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
# You can override programmatically any part of the config
|
|
79
|
+
config[:debug] = true
|
|
80
|
+
logger.level = 1
|
|
81
|
+
config[:test] = 'Groovy'
|
|
82
|
+
EasyAppHelper.logger.info "Hi guys!... again"
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
# You can see the internals of the config
|
|
85
|
+
puts config.internal_configs.to_yaml
|
|
86
|

|
|
128
|
+
# Of course you can access it from any class
|
|
129
|
+
class Dummy
|
|
130
|
+
include EasyAppHelper
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
def initialize
|
|

# Some methods are provided to ease common tasks. For example this one will log at info level
|
|

|
+
# (so only displayed if debug mode and log level low enough), but will also puts on the console
|
|
144
|
+
# if verbose if set...
|
|
145
|
+
puts_and_logs "Hi world"
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
# It is actually one of the few methods added to regular Logger class (The added value of this logger
|
|
148
|
+
# is much more to be tightly coupled with the config object). Thus could access it like that:
|
|
149
|
+
logger.puts_and_logs "Hi world"
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
# or even
|
|
152
|
+
EasyAppHelper.logger.puts_and_logs "Hi world... 3 is enough."
|
|
153
|
+
```
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
## Configuration layers
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
**EasyAppHelper** will look for files in numerous places. **Both Unix and Windows places are handled**.
|
|
159
|
+
All the files are [Yaml][yaml] files but could have names with different extensions.
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
You can look in the [classes documentation][doc] to know exactly which extensions and places the config
|
|
162
|
+
files are looked for.
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
### System config file
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
This config file is common to all applications that use EasyAppHelper. For example on a Unix system
|
|
167
|
+
regarding the rules described above, the framework will for the following files in that order:
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
```text
|
|
170
|
+
# It will be loaded in the :system layer
|
|
171
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.conf
|
|
172
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.yml
|
|
173
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.cfg
|
|
174
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.yaml
|
|
175
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.CFG
|
|
176
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.YML
|
|
177
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.YAML
|
|
178
|
+
/etc/EasyAppHelper.Yaml
|
|
179
|
+
```
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
### Application config files
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
Application config file names are determined from the config.script_filename property. It initially contains
|
|
184
|
+
the bare name of the script(path and extension removed), but you can replace with whatever you want. Changing
|
|
185
|
+
this property causes actually the impacted files to be reloaded.
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
It is in fact a two level configuration. One is global (the :global layer) and the other is at user level (the
|
|
188
|
+
:user layer).
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
For example on a Unix system or cygwin
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
```text
|
|
193
|
+
# For the :global layer
|
|
194
|
+
/etc/myscript.conf
|
|

|
|
219
|
+
```
|
|
220
|
+
|
|
221
|
+
### Command line specified config file
|
|
222
|
+
|
|
223
|
+
The command line option ```--config-file``` provides a way to specify explicitly a config file. On top of this the
|
|
224
|
+
option ```--config-override``` tells **EasyAppHelper** to ignore :system, :global and :user levels.
|
|
225
|
+
|
|
226
|
+
The file will be loaded in a separated layer called :specific_file
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
|
|
229
|
+
### The command line options
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
**EasyAppHelper** already provides by default some command line options. Imagine you have the following program.
|
|
232
|
+
|
|
233
|
+
```ruby
|
|
234
|
+
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236
|
+
require 'easy_app_helper'
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
class MyApp
|
|
239
|
+

|
|
240
|

|
|
241
|
+
APP_NAME = "My super application"
|
|
242
|
+
VERSION = '0.0.1'
|
|
243
|
+
DESCRIPTION = 'This application is a proof of concept for EasyAppHelper.'
|
|
244
|
+
|
|
245
|
+
|
|
246
|
+
def initialize
|
|
247
|
+
# Providing this data is optional but brings better logging and online help
|
|
248
|
+
config.describes_application(app_name: APP_NAME, app_version: VERSION, app_description: DESCRIPTION)
|
|
249
|
+
end
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
|
|
252
|
+
def run
|
|
253
|
+
if config[:help]
|
|
254
|
+
puts config.help
|
|
255
|
+
exit 0
|
|
256
|
+
end
|
|
257
|
+
puts_and_logs "Application is starting"
|
|
258
|
+
do_some_processing
|
|
259
|
+
end
|
|
260
|
+
|
|
261
|
+
def do_some_processing
|
|
262
|
+
puts_and_logs "Starting some heavy processing"
|
|
263
|
+
end
|
|
264
|
+
|
|
265
|
+
end
|
|
266
|
+
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
MyApp.new.run
|
|
269
|
+
```
|
|
270
|
+
|
|
271
|
+
And you run it without any command line option
|
|
272
|
+
|
|
273
|
+
```text
|
|
274
|
+
./test4_app.rb

|
|
276

--debug-on-err Run in debug mode with output to stderr.
|
|
299
|
+
--log-level Log level from 0 to 5, default 2.
|
|
300
|
+
--log-file File to log to.
|
|
301
|
+
|
|
302
|
+
```
|
|
303
|
+
You see there the online help. And then the program exists.
|
|
304
|
+
|
|
305
|
+
Let's try the ```--verbose``` flag
|
|
306
|
+
|
|
307
|
+
```text
|
|
308
|
+
./test4_app.rb --verbose
|
|
309
|
+
Application is starting
|
|
310
|
+
Starting some heavy processing
|
|
311
|
+
```
|
|
312
|
+
|
|
313
|
+
You see that the puts_and_logs is sensitive to the ```--verbose``` switch...
|
|
314
|
+
|
|
315
|
+
But what if I debug
|
|
316
|
+
```text
|
|
317
|
+
./test4_app.rb --debug
|
|
318
|
+
```
|
|
319
|
+
|
|
320
|
+
Humm... nothing... Let's provide the log level
|
|
321
|
+
|
|
322
|
+
```text
|
|
323
|
+
./test4_app.rb --debug --log-level 0
|
|
324
|
+
I, [2013-06-23T19:37:24.975392 #10276] INFO -- My super application: Application is starting
|
|
325
|
+
I, [2013-06-23T19:37:24.975592 #10276] INFO -- My super application: Starting some heavy processing
|
|
326
|
+
```
|
|
327
|
+
|
|
328
|
+
You see there that the puts_and_logs logs as well with the log level 1 (Info)... Nice looks like it was claiming
|
|
329
|
+
this in its name... ;-)
|
|
330
|
+
|
|
331
|
+
If I mix ?
|
|
332
|
+
|
|
333
|
+
```text
|
|
334
|
+
./test4_app.rb --debug --log-level 0 --verbose
|
|
335
|
+
Application is starting
|
|
336
|
+
I, [2013-06-23T19:39:05.712558 #11768] INFO -- My super application: Application is starting
|
|
337

338
|
+

|
|
339
|
+
```
|
|
340
|
+
|
|
341
|
+
So far so good...
|
|
342
|
+
|
|

### Specifying command line parameters
|
|
344
|
+
|
|
345
|
+
As said, internally **EasyAppHelper** uses the [Slop gem][slop] to handle the command line parameters.
|
|
346
|
+
You can configure the internal Slop object by calling the add_command_line_section method of the config
|
|
347
|
+
object. You could create a method that setup your application command line parameters like this:
|
|
348
|
+
|
|
349
|
+
```ruby
|
|
350
|
+
def add_cmd_line_options
|
|
351
|
+
config.add_command_line_section do |slop|
|
|
352
|
+
slop.on :u, :useless, 'Stupid option', :argument => false
|
|
353
|
+
slop.on :anint, 'Stupid option with integer argument', :argument => true, :as => Integer
|
|
354
|
+
end
|
|
355
|
+
end
|
|
356
|
+
|
|
357
|
+
```
|
|
358
|
+
|
|
359
|
+
See [Slop gem][slop] API documentation for more options.
|
|
360
|
+
|
|
361
|
+
|
|
362
|
+
### Debugging the framework itself
|
|
363
|
+
|
|
364
|
+
If you want, you can even debug what happens during **EasyAppHelper** initialisation, for this you can use the
|
|
365
|
+
```DEBUG_EASY_MODULES``` environment variable. As how and where everything has to be logged is only specified when
|
|
366
|
+
you actually provide command line options, **EasyAppHelper** provides a temporary logger to itself and will
|
|
367
|
+
after all dump the logger content to the logger you specified and if you specify... So that you don't miss a log.
|
|
368
|
+
|
|
369
|
+
```text
|
|
370
|
+
