-
|
24
|
-
Install
|
25
|
-
-------
|
26
|
-
|
27
|
-
Install the gem:
|
28
|
-
|
29
|
-
$ gem install guard
|
30
|
-
|
31
|
-
Or add it to your Gemfile (inside the `development` group):
|
32
|
-
|
33
|
-
gem 'guard'
|
34
|
-
|
35
|
-
and install it via Bundler:
|
36
|
-
|
37
|
-
$ bundle install
|
38
|
-
|
39
|
-
Generate an empty Guardfile with:
|
40
|
-
|
41
|
-
$ guard init
|
42
|
-
|
43
|
-
You may optionally place a .Guardfile in your home directory to use it across multiple projects.
|
44
|
-
Also note that if a `.guard.rb` is found in your home directory, it will be appended to the Guardfile.
|
45
|
-
|
46
|
-
Add the guards you need to your Guardfile (see the existing guards below).
|
47
|
-
|
48
|
-
### On Mac OS X
|
49
|
-
|
50
|
-
Install the rb-fsevent gem for [FSEvent](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSEvents) support:
|
51
|
-
|
52
|
-
$ gem install rb-fsevent
|
53
|
-
|
54
|
-
You have two possibilities:
|
55
|
-
|
56
|
-
Use the [growl_notify gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/growl_notify) (recommended):
|
57
|
-
|
58
|
-
$ gem install growl_notify
|
59
|
-
|
60
|
-
Use the [growlnotify](http://growl.info/extras.php#growlnotify) (cli tool for growl) + the [growl gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/growl).
|
61
|
-
|
62
|
-
$ brew install growlnotify
|
63
|
-
$ gem install growl
|
64
|
-
|
65
|
-
And add them to your Gemfile:
|
66
|
-
|
67
|
-
gem 'rb-fsevent'
|
68
|
-
gem 'growl_notify' # or gem 'growl'
|
69
|
-
|
70
|
-
The difference between growl and growl_notify is that growl_notify uses AppleScript to
|
71
|
-
display a message, whereas growl uses the `growlnotify` command. In general the AppleScript
|
72
|
-
approach is preferred, but you may also use the older growl gem. Have a look at the
|
73
|
-
[Guard Wiki](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/Use-growl_notify-or-growl-gem) for more information.
|
74

|
-
|
79
|
-
$ gem install rb-inotify

|
86
|
-
|
87
|
-
gem 'rb-inotify'
|
88
|
-
gem 'libnotify'

|
93
|
-
|
94
|
-
$ gem install rb-fchange
|
95
|
-

Usage
|
111
|
-
-----
|
112
|
-
|
113
|
-
Just launch Guard inside your Ruby / Rails project with:
|
114
|
-
|
115
|
-
$ guard [start]
|
116
|
-
|
117
|
-
or if you use Bundler, to run the Guard executable specific to your bundle:
|
118
|
-
|
119
|
-
$ bundle exec guard [start]
|
120
|
-
|
121
|
-
Guard will look for a Guardfile in your current directory. If it does not find one, it will look in your `$HOME` directory for a .Guardfile.
|

Interactions
|
184
|
-
------------
|
185
|
-
|
186
|
-
**From version >= 0.7.0 Posix Signal handlers are no more used to interact with Guard. If you're using a version < 0.7, please refer to the [README in the v0.6 branch](https://github.com/guard/guard/blob/v0.6/README.md).**
|
187
|
-
|
188
|
-
When Guard do nothing you can interact with by entering a command + hitting enter:
|
189
|
-
|
190
|
-
* `stop|quit|exit|s|q|e + enter` - Calls each guard's `#stop` method, in the same order they are declared in the Guardfile, and then quits Guard itself.
|
191
|
-
* `reload|r|z + enter` - Calls each guard's `#reload` method, in the same order they are declared in the Guardfile.
|
192
|
-
* `pause|p + enter` - Toggle files modification listening. Useful when switching git branches.
|
193
|
-
* `just enter (no commands)` - Calls each guard's `#run_all` method, in the same order they are declared in the Guardfile.
|
194
|
-
|
195
|
-
Available Guards
|
196
|
-
----------------
|
197
|
-
|
198
|
-
A list of the available guards is present [in the wiki](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/List-of-available-Guards).
|
199
|
-
|
200
|
-
### Add a guard to your Guardfile
|
201
|
-
|
202
|
-
Add it to your Gemfile (inside the `development` group):
|
203
|
-
|
204
|
-
gem '<guard-name>'
|
205
|
-
|
206
|
-
You can list all guards installed on your system with:
|
207
|
-
|
208
|
-
$ guard list
|
209
|
-
|
210
|
-
Insert default guard's definition to your Guardfile by running this command:
|
211
|
-
|
212
|
-
$ guard init <guard-name>
|
213
|
-
|
214
|
-
You are good to go, or you can modify your guards' definition to suit your needs.
|
215
|
-
|
216
|
-
Guardfile DSL
|
217
|
-
-------------
|
218
|
-
|
219
|
-
The Guardfile DSL consists of the following methods:
|
220
|
-
|
221
|
-
* `#guard`: allows you to add a guard with an optional hash of options.
|
222
|
-
* `#watch`: allows you to define which files are supervised by this guard. An optional block can be added to overwrite the paths sent to the guard's `#run_on_change` method or to launch any arbitrary command.
|
223
|
-
* `#group`: allows you to group several guards together. Groups to be run can be specified with the Guard DSL option `--group` (or `-g`). This comes in handy especially when you have a huge Guardfile and want to focus your development on a certain part. Guards that don't belong to a group are considered global and are always run.
|
224
|
-
* `#callback`: allows you to execute arbitrary code before or after any of the `start`, `stop`, `reload`, `run_all` and `run_on_change` guards' method. You can even insert more hooks inside these methods. Please [checkout the Wiki page](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/Hooks-and-callbacks) for more details.
|
225
|
-
* `#ignore_paths`: allows you to ignore top level directories altogether. This comes is handy when you have large amounts of non-source data in you project. By default .bundle, .git, log, tmp, and vendor are ignored. Currently it is only possible to ignore the immediate descendants of the watched directory.
|
226
|
-
|
227
|
-
Example:
|
228
|
-
|
229
|
-
ignore_paths 'foo', 'bar'
|
230
|
-
|
231
|
-
group 'backend' do
|
232
|
-
guard 'bundler' do
|
233
|
-
watch('Gemfile')
|
234
|
-
end
|
235
|
-
|
236
|
-
guard 'rspec', :cli => '--color --format doc' do
|
237
|
-
# Regexp watch patterns are matched with Regexp#match
|
238
|
-
watch(%r{^spec/.+_spec\.rb$})
|
239
|
-
watch(%r{^lib/(.+)\.rb$}) { |m| "spec/lib/#{m[1]}_spec.rb" }
|
240
|
-
watch(%r{^spec/models/.+\.rb$}) { ["spec/models", "spec/acceptance"] }
|
241
|
-
watch(%r{^spec/.+\.rb$}) { `say hello` }
|
242
|
-
|
243
|
-
# String watch patterns are matched with simple '=='
|
244
|
-
watch('spec/spec_helper.rb') { "spec" }
|
245
|
-
end
|
246
|
-
end
|
247
|
-
|
248
|
-
group 'frontend' do
|
249
|
-
guard 'coffeescript', :output => 'public/javascripts/compiled' do
|
250
|
-
watch(%r{^app/coffeescripts/.+\.coffee$})
|
251
|
-
end
|
252
|
-
|
253
|
-
guard 'livereload' do
|
254
|
-
watch(%r{^app/.+\.(erb|haml)$})
|
255
|

Using a Guardfile without the `guard` binary
|
259
|
-
--------------------------------------------
|
260
|
-
|
261
|
-
The Guardfile DSL can also be used in a programmatic fashion by calling directly `Guard::Dsl.evaluate_guardfile`.
|
262
|
-
Available options are as follow:
|
263
|
-
|
264
|
-
* `:guardfile` - The path to a valid Guardfile.
|

|
-
* `:guardfile_contents` - A string representing the content of a valid Guardfile
|
266
|
-
|
267
|
-
Remember, without any options given, Guard will look for a Guardfile in your current directory and if it does not find one, it will look for it in your `$HOME` directory.
|
268
|
-
|
269
|
-
For instance, you could use it as follow:
|
270
|
-
|
271
|
-
gem 'guard'
|
272
|
-
require 'guard'
|
273
|
-
|
274
|
-
Guard.setup
|
275
|
-
|
276
|
-
Guard::Dsl.evaluate_guardfile(:guardfile => '/your/custom/path/to/a/valid/Guardfile')
|
277
|
-
# or
|
278
|
-
Guard::Dsl.evaluate_guardfile(:guardfile_contents => "
|
279
|
-
guard 'rspec' do
|
280
|
-
watch(%r{^spec/.+_spec\.rb$})
|
281
|
-
end
|
282
|
-
")
|
283
|
-
|
284
|
-
### Listing defined guards/groups for the current project
|
285
|
-
|
286
|
-
You can list the defined groups and guards for the current Guardfile from the command line using `guard show` or `guard -T`:
|
287
|
-
|
288
|
-
$ guard -T
|
289
|
-
|
290
|
-
(global):
|
291
|
-
shell
|
292
|
-
Group backend:
|
293
|
-
bundler
|
294
|
-
rspec: cli => "--color --format doc"
|
295
|
-
Group frontend:
|
296
|
-
coffeescript: output => "public/javascripts/compiled"
|
297
|
-
livereload
|
298
|
-
|
299
|
-
User config file
|
300
|
-
----------------
|
301
|
-
|
302
|
-
If a `.guard.rb` is found in your home directory, it will be appended to
|
303
|
-
the Guardfile. This can be used for tasks you want guard to handle but
|
304
|
-
other users probably don't. For example, indexing your source tree with
|
305
|
-
[Ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net):
|
306
|
-
|
307
|
-
guard 'shell' do
|
308
|
-
watch(%r{^(?:app|lib)/.+\.rb$}) { `ctags -R` }
|
309
|
-
end
|
310
|
-
|
311
|
-
Create a new guard
|
312
|
-
------------------
|
313
|
-
|
314
|
-
Creating a new guard is very easy, just create a new gem (`bundle gem` if you use Bundler) with this basic structure:
|
315
|
-
|
316
|
-
.travis.yml # bonus point!
|
317
|
-
CHANGELOG.md # bonus point!

|
-
`Guard::GuardName` (in `lib/guard/guard-name.rb`) must inherit from `Guard::Guard` and should overwrite at least one of the five basic `Guard::Guard` instance methods.
|
332
|
-
|
333
|
-
Here is an example scaffold for `lib/guard/guard-name.rb`:
|
334
|
-
|
335
|
-
require 'guard'
|
336
|
-
require 'guard/guard'
|
337
|
-
|
338
|
-
module Guard
|
339
|
-
class GuardName < Guard
|
340
|
-
|
341
|
-
def initialize(watchers = [], options = {})
|
342
|
-
super
|
343
|
-
# init stuff here, thx!
|
344
|
-
end
|
345
|
-
|
346
|
-
# =================
|
347
|
-
# = Guard methods =
|
348
|
-
# =================
|
349
|
-
|
350
|
-
# If one of those methods raise an exception, the Guard::GuardName instance
|
351
|
-
# will be removed from the active guards.
|
352
|
-
|
353
|
-
# Called once when Guard starts
|
354
|
-
# Please override initialize method to init stuff
|
355
|
-
def start
|
356
|
-
true
|
357
|
-
end
|
358
|
-
|
359
|
-
# Called when `stop|quit|exit|s|q|e + enter` is pressed (when Guard quits)
|
360
|
-
def stop
|
361
|
-
true
|
362
|
-
end
|
363
|
-
|
364
|
-
# Called when `reload|r|z + enter` is pressed
|
365
|
-
# This method should be mainly used for "reload" (really!) actions like reloading passenger/spork/bundler/...
|
366
|
-
def reload
|
367
|
-
true
|
368
|
-
end
|
369
|
-
|
370
|
-
# Called when just `enter` is pressed
|
371
|
-
# This method should be principally used for long action like running all specs/tests/...
|
372
|
-
def run_all
|
373
|
-
true
|
374
|
-
end
|
375
|
-
|
376
|
-
# Called on file(s) modifications
|
377
|
-
def run_on_change(paths)
|
378
|
-
true
|
379
|
-
end
|
380
|
-
|
381
|
-
# Called on file(s) deletions
|
382
|
-
def run_on_deletion(paths)
|
383
|
-
true
|
384
|
-
end
|
385
|
-
|
386
|
-
end
|
387
|
-
end
|
388
|
-
|
389
|
-
Please take a look at the [existing guards' source code](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/List-of-available-Guards) for more concrete example and inspiration.
|
390
|
-
|
391
|
-
Alternatively, a new guard can be added inline to a Guardfile with this basic structure:
|
392
|
-
|
393
|
-
require 'guard/guard'
|
394
|
-
|
395
|
-
module ::Guard
|
396
|
-
class InlineGuard < ::Guard::Guard
|
397
|
-
def run_all
|
398
|
-
true
|
399
|
-
end
|
400
|
-
|
401
|
-
def run_on_change(paths)
|
402
|
-
true
|
403
|
-
end
|
404
|
-
end
|
405
|
-
end
|
406
|
-
|
407
|
-

Screencast
|
20
|
+
----------
|
21
|
+
|
22
|
+
Ryan Bates made a Railscast on Guard, you can view it here: http://railscasts.com/episodes/264-guard
|
23
|
+
|
24
|
+
Install
|
25
|
+
-------
|
26
|
+
|
27
|
+
Install the gem:
|
28
|
+
|
29
|
+
$ gem install guard
|
30
|
+
|
31
|
+
Or add it to your Gemfile (inside the `development` group):
|
32
|
+
|
33
|
+
gem 'guard'
|
34
|
+
|
35
|
+
and install it via Bundler:
|
36
|
+
|
37
|
+
$ bundle install
|
38
|
+
|
39
|
+
Generate an empty Guardfile with:
|
40
|
+
|
41
|
+
$ guard init
|
42
|
+
|
43
|
+
You may optionally place a .Guardfile in your home directory to use it across multiple projects.
|
44
|
+
Also note that if a `.guard.rb` is found in your home directory, it will be appended to the Guardfile.
|
45
|
+
|
46
|
+
Add the guards you need to your Guardfile (see the existing guards below).
|
47
|
+
|
48
|
+
### On Mac OS X
|
49
|
+
|
50
|
+
Install the rb-fsevent gem for [FSEvent](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSEvents) support:
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
$ gem install rb-fsevent
|
53
|
+
|
54
|
+
You have two possibilities:
|
55
|
+
|
56
|
+
Use the [growl_notify gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/growl_notify) (recommended):
|
57
|
+
|
58
|
+
$ gem install growl_notify
|
59
|
+
|
60
|
+
Use the [growlnotify](http://growl.info/extras.php#growlnotify) (cli tool for growl) + the [growl gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/growl).
|
61
|
+
|
62
|
+
$ brew install growlnotify
|
63
|
+
$ gem install growl
|
64
|
+
|
65
|
+
And add them to your Gemfile:
|
66
|
+
|
67
|
+
gem 'rb-fsevent'
|
68
|
+
gem 'growl_notify' # or gem 'growl'
|
69
|
+
|
70
|
+
The difference between growl and growl_notify is that growl_notify uses AppleScript to
|
71
|
+
display a message, whereas growl uses the `growlnotify` command. In general the AppleScript
|
72
|
+
approach is preferred, but you may also use the older growl gem. Have a look at the
|
73
|
+
[Guard Wiki](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/Use-growl_notify-or-growl-gem) for more information.
|
74
|
+
|
75
|
+

78
|
+
|
79
|
+
$ gem install rb-inotify
|
80
|
+
|
81
|

|
82
|
+
|
83
|
+

|
84
|
+
|
85
|
+
And add them to your Gemfile:
|
86
|
+
|
87
|
+
gem 'rb-inotify'
|
88
|
+
gem 'libnotify'
|
89

|
93
|
+
|
94
|
+
$ gem install rb-fchange
|
95
|
+
|
96
|

Usage
|
111
|
+
-----
|
112
|
+
|
113
|
+
Just launch Guard inside your Ruby / Rails project with:
|
114
|
+
|
115
|
+
$ guard [start]
|
116
|
+
|
117
|
+
or if you use Bundler, to run the Guard executable specific to your bundle:
|
118
|
+
|
119
|
+
$ bundle exec guard [start]
|
120
|
+
|
121
|
+
Guard will look for a Guardfile in your current directory. If it does not find one, it will look in your `$HOME` directory for a .Guardfile.
|
122
|
+
|
123
|
+
Command line options
|
124
|
+
--------------------
|
125
|
+
|
126
|
+
### `-c`/`--clear` option
|
127
|
+
|
128
|
+
Shell can be cleared after each change:
|
129
|
+
|
130
|
+
$ guard --clear
|
131
|
+
$ guard -c # shortcut
|
132
|
+
|
133
|
+
### `-n`/`--notify` option
|
134
|
+
|
135
|
+
Notifications (growl/libnotify) can be disabled:
|
136
|
+
|
137
|
+
$ guard --notify false
|
138
|
+
$ guard -n f # shortcut
|
139
|
+
|
140
|
+
Notifications can also be disabled globally by setting a `GUARD_NOTIFY` environment variable to `false`
|
141
|
+
|
142
|
+
### `-g`/`--group` option
|
143
|
+
|
144
|
+
Only certain guards groups can be run (see the Guardfile DSL below for creating groups):
|
145
|
+
|
146
|
+
$ guard --group group_name another_group_name
|
147
|
+
$ guard -g group_name another_group_name # shortcut
|
148
|
+
|
149
|
+
### `-d`/`--debug` option
|
150
|
+
|

+
|
156
|
+
### `-w`/`--watchdir` option
|
157
|
+
|
158
|
+
Guard can watch in any directory (instead of the current directory):
|
159
|
+
|
160
|
+
$ guard --watchdir ~/your/fancy/project
|
161
|
+
$ guard -w ~/your/fancy/project # shortcut
|
162
|
+
|
163
|
+
### `-G`/`--guardfile` option
|
164
|
+
|
165
|
+
Guard can use a Guardfile not located in the current directory:
|
166
|
+
|
167
|
+
$ guard --guardfile ~/.your_global_guardfile
|
168
|
+
$ guard -G ~/.your_global_guardfile # shortcut
|
169
|

|
170
|
+
### `-A`/`--watch-all-modifications` option
|
171
|
+

173
|
+
|
174
|
+
``` bash
|
175
|
+
$ guard start -A
|
176
|
+
$ guard start --watch-all-modifications
|
177
|
+

Interactions
|
184
|
+
------------
|
185
|
+
|
186
|
+
**From version >= 0.7.0 Posix Signal handlers are no more used to interact with Guard. If you're using a version < 0.7, please refer to the [README in the v0.6 branch](https://github.com/guard/guard/blob/v0.6/README.md).**
|
187
|
+
|
188
|
+
When Guard do nothing you can interact with by entering a command + hitting enter:
|
189
|
+
|
190
|
+
* `stop|quit|exit|s|q|e + enter` - Calls each guard's `#stop` method, in the same order they are declared in the Guardfile, and then quits Guard itself.
|
191
|
+
* `reload|r|z + enter` - Calls each guard's `#reload` method, in the same order they are declared in the Guardfile.
|
192
|
+
* `pause|p + enter` - Toggle files modification listening. Useful when switching git branches.
|
193
|
+
* `just enter (no commands)` - Calls each guard's `#run_all` method, in the same order they are declared in the Guardfile.
|

|
+
Available Guards
|
196
|
+
----------------
|
197
|
+
|
198
|
+
A list of the available guards is present [in the wiki](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/List-of-available-Guards).
|
199
|
+
|
200
|
+
### Add a guard to your Guardfile
|
201
|
+
|
202
|
+
Add it to your Gemfile (inside the `development` group):
|
203
|
+
|
204
|
+
gem '<guard-name>'
|
205
|
+
|
206
|
+
You can list all guards installed on your system with:
|
207
|
+
|
208
|
+
$ guard list
|
209
|
+
|
210
|
+
Insert default guard's definition to your Guardfile by running this command:
|
211
|
+
|
212
|
+
$ guard init <guard-name>
|
213
|
+
|
214
|
+
You are good to go, or you can modify your guards' definition to suit your needs.
|
215
|
+
|
216
|
+
Guardfile DSL
|
217
|
+
-------------
|
218
|
+
|
219
|
+
The Guardfile DSL consists of the following methods:
|
220
|
+
|
221
|
+
* `#guard`: allows you to add a guard with an optional hash of options.
|
222
|
+
* `#watch`: allows you to define which files are supervised by this guard. An optional block can be added to overwrite the paths sent to the guard's `#run_on_change` method or to launch any arbitrary command.
|
223
|
+
* `#group`: allows you to group several guards together. Groups to be run can be specified with the Guard DSL option `--group` (or `-g`). This comes in handy especially when you have a huge Guardfile and want to focus your development on a certain part. Guards that don't belong to a group are considered global and are always run.
|
224
|
+
* `#callback`: allows you to execute arbitrary code before or after any of the `start`, `stop`, `reload`, `run_all` and `run_on_change` guards' method. You can even insert more hooks inside these methods. Please [checkout the Wiki page](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/Hooks-and-callbacks) for more details.
|
225
|
+
* `#ignore_paths`: allows you to ignore top level directories altogether. This comes is handy when you have large amounts of non-source data in you project. By default .bundle, .git, log, tmp, and vendor are ignored. Currently it is only possible to ignore the immediate descendants of the watched directory.
|
226
|
+
|
227
|
+
Example:
|
228
|
+
|
229
|
+
ignore_paths 'foo', 'bar'
|
230
|
+
|
231
|
+
group 'backend' do
|
232
|
+
guard 'bundler' do
|
233
|
+
watch('Gemfile')
|
234
|
+
end
|
235
|
+
|
236
|
+
guard 'rspec', :cli => '--color --format doc' do
|
237
|
+
# Regexp watch patterns are matched with Regexp#match
|
238
|
+
watch(%r{^spec/.+_spec\.rb$})
|
239
|
+
watch(%r{^lib/(.+)\.rb$}) { |m| "spec/lib/#{m[1]}_spec.rb" }
|
240
|
+
watch(%r{^spec/models/.+\.rb$}) { ["spec/models", "spec/acceptance"] }
|
241
|
+
watch(%r{^spec/.+\.rb$}) { `say hello` }
|
242
|
+
|
243
|
+
# String watch patterns are matched with simple '=='
|
244
|
+
watch('spec/spec_helper.rb') { "spec" }
|
245
|
+
end
|
246
|
+
end
|
247
|
+
|
248
|
+
group 'frontend' do
|
249
|
+
guard 'coffeescript', :output => 'public/javascripts/compiled' do
|
250
|
+
watch(%r{^app/coffeescripts/.+\.coffee$})
|
251
|
+
end
|
252
|
+
|
253
|
+
guard 'livereload' do
|
254
|
+
watch(%r{^app/.+\.(erb|haml)$})
|
255
|
+
end
|
256
|
+
end
|
257
|
+
|
258
|
+
Using a Guardfile without the `guard` binary
|
259
|
+
--------------------------------------------
|
260
|
+
|
261
|
+
The Guardfile DSL can also be used in a programmatic fashion by calling directly `Guard::Dsl.evaluate_guardfile`.
|
262
|
+
Available options are as follow:
|
263
|
+
|
264
|
+
* `:guardfile` - The path to a valid Guardfile.
|
265
|
+
* `:guardfile_contents` - A string representing the content of a valid Guardfile
|
266
|
+
|
267
|
+
Remember, without any options given, Guard will look for a Guardfile in your current directory and if it does not find one, it will look for it in your `$HOME` directory.
|
268
|
+
|
269
|
+
For instance, you could use it as follow:
|
270
|
+
|
271
|
+
gem 'guard'
|
272
|
+
require 'guard'
|
273
|
+
|
274
|
+
Guard.setup
|
275
|
+
|
276
|
+
Guard::Dsl.evaluate_guardfile(:guardfile => '/your/custom/path/to/a/valid/Guardfile')
|
277
|
+
# or
|
278
|
+
Guard::Dsl.evaluate_guardfile(:guardfile_contents => "
|
279
|
+
guard 'rspec' do
|
280
|
+
watch(%r{^spec/.+_spec\.rb$})
|
281
|
+
end
|
282
|
+
")
|
283
|
+
|
284
|
+
### Listing defined guards/groups for the current project
|
285
|
+
|
286
|
+
You can list the defined groups and guards for the current Guardfile from the command line using `guard show` or `guard -T`:
|
287
|
+
|
288
|
+
$ guard -T
|
289
|
+
|
290
|
+
(global):
|
291
|
+
shell
|
292
|
+
Group backend:
|
293
|
+
bundler
|
294
|
+
rspec: cli => "--color --format doc"
|
295
|
+
Group frontend:
|
296
|
+
coffeescript: output => "public/javascripts/compiled"
|
297
|
+
livereload
|
298
|
+
|
299
|
+
User config file
|
300
|
+
----------------
|
301
|
+
|
302
|
+
If a `.guard.rb` is found in your home directory, it will be appended to
|
303
|
+
the Guardfile. This can be used for tasks you want guard to handle but
|
304
|
+
other users probably don't. For example, indexing your source tree with
|
305
|
+
[Ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net):
|
306
|
+
|
307
|
+
guard 'shell' do
|
308
|
+
watch(%r{^(?:app|lib)/.+\.rb$}) { `ctags -R` }
|
309
|
+
end
|
310
|
+
|
311
|
+
Create a new guard
|
312
|
+
------------------
|
313
|
+
|
314
|
+
Creating a new guard is very easy, just create a new gem (`bundle gem` if you use Bundler) with this basic structure:
|
315
|
+
|
316
|
+
.travis.yml # bonus point!
|
317
|
+
CHANGELOG.md # bonus point!
|
318
|
+

|
+
|
331
|
+
`Guard::GuardName` (in `lib/guard/guard-name.rb`) must inherit from `Guard::Guard` and should overwrite at least one of the five basic `Guard::Guard` instance methods.
|
332
|
+
|
333
|
+
Here is an example scaffold for `lib/guard/guard-name.rb`:
|
334
|
+
|
335
|
+
require 'guard'
|
336
|
+
require 'guard/guard'
|
337
|
+
|
338
|
+
module Guard
|
339
|
+
class GuardName < Guard
|
340
|
+
|
341
|
+
def initialize(watchers = [], options = {})
|
342
|
+
super
|
343
|
+
# init stuff here, thx!
|
344
|
+
end
|
345
|
+
|
346
|
+
# =================
|
347
|
+
# = Guard methods =
|
348
|
+
# =================
|
349
|
+
|
350
|
+
# If one of those methods raise an exception, the Guard::GuardName instance
|
351
|
+
# will be removed from the active guards.
|
352
|
+
|
353
|
+
# Called once when Guard starts
|
354
|
+
# Please override initialize method to init stuff
|
355
|
+
def start
|
356
|
+
true
|
357
|
+
end
|
358
|
+
|
359
|
+
# Called when `stop|quit|exit|s|q|e + enter` is pressed (when Guard quits)
|
360
|
+
def stop
|
361
|
+
true
|
362
|
+
end
|
363
|
+
|
364
|
+
# Called when `reload|r|z + enter` is pressed
|
365
|
+
# This method should be mainly used for "reload" (really!) actions like reloading passenger/spork/bundler/...
|
366
|
+
def reload
|
367
|
+
true
|
368
|
+
end
|
369
|
+
|
370
|
+
# Called when just `enter` is pressed
|
371
|
+
# This method should be principally used for long action like running all specs/tests/...
|
372
|
+
def run_all
|
373
|
+
true
|
374
|
+
end
|
375
|
+
|
376
|
+
# Called on file(s) modifications
|
377
|
+
def run_on_change(paths)
|
378
|
+
true
|
379
|
+
end
|
380
|
+
|
381
|
+
# Called on file(s) deletions
|
382
|
+
def run_on_deletion(paths)
|
383
|
+
true
|
384
|
+
end
|
385
|
+
|
386
|
+
end
|
387
|
+
end
|
388
|
+
|
389
|

Please take a look at the [existing guards' source code](https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/List-of-available-Guards) for more concrete example and inspiration.
|
390
|
+
|
391
|
+
Alternatively, a new guard can be added inline to a Guardfile with this basic structure:
|
392
|
+
|
393
|
+
require 'guard/guard'
|
394
|
+
|
395
|
+
module ::Guard
|
396
|
+
class InlineGuard < ::Guard::Guard
|
397
|
+
def run_all
|
398
|
+
true
|
399
|
+
end
|
400
|
+
|
401
|
+
def run_on_change(paths)
|
402
|
+
true
|
403
|
+
end
|
404
|
+
end
|
405
|
+
end
|
406
|
+
|
407
|
+
