class PathExpander
PathExpander helps pre-process command-line arguments expanding directories into their constituent files. It further helps by providing additional mechanisms to make specifying subsets easier with path subtraction and allowing for command-line arguments to be saved in a file.
NOTE: this is NOT an options processor. It is a path processor (basically everything else besides options). It does provide a mechanism for pre-filtering cmdline options, but not with the intent of actually processing them in PathExpander. Use OptionParser to deal with options either before or after passing ARGV through PathExpander.
Attributes
The args array to process.
The glob used to expand dirs to files.
Public Class Methods
Create a new path expander that operates on args and expands via glob as necessary.
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 32 def initialize args, glob self.args = args self.glob = glob end
Public Instance Methods
Takes an array of paths and returns an array of paths where all directories are expanded to all files found via the glob provided to PathExpander.
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 42 def expand_dirs_to_files *dirs dirs.flatten.map { |p| if File.directory? p then Dir[File.join(p, glob)].find_all { |f| File.file? f } else p end }.flatten end
A file filter mechanism similar to, but not as extensive as, .gitignore files:
+ If a pattern does not contain a slash, it is treated as a shell glob. + If a pattern ends in a slash, it matches on directories (and contents). + Otherwise, it matches on relative paths.
File.fnmatch is used throughout, so glob patterns work for all 3 types.
Takes a list of files
and either an io or path of
ignore
data and returns a list of files left after filtering.
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 143 def filter_files files, ignore ignore_paths = if ignore.respond_to? :read then ignore.read elsif File.exists? ignore then File.read ignore end if ignore_paths then nonglobs, globs = ignore_paths.split("\n").partition { |p| p.include? "/" } dirs, ifiles = nonglobs.partition { |p| p.end_with? "/" } dirs = dirs.map { |s| s.chomp "/" } dirs.map! { |i| File.expand_path i } globs.map! { |i| File.expand_path i } ifiles.map! { |i| File.expand_path i } only_paths = File::FNM_PATHNAME files = files.reject { |f| f = File.expand_path(f) dirs.any? { |i| File.fnmatch?(i, File.dirname(f), only_paths) } || globs.any? { |i| File.fnmatch?(i, f) } || ifiles.any? { |i| File.fnmatch?(i, f, only_paths) } } end files end
Top-level method processes args. It replaces args' contents with a new array of flags to process and returns a list of files to process. Eg
PathExpander.new(ARGV).process.each do |f| puts "./#{f}" end
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 122 def process files, flags = process_args args.replace process_flags flags files.uniq end
Enumerate over args passed to PathExpander and return a list of files and flags to process. Arguments are processed as:
- @file_of_args
-
Read the file and append to args.
- -file_path
-
Subtract path from file to be processed.
- -dir_path
-
Expand and subtract paths from files to be processed.
- -not_a_path
-
Add to flags to be processed.
- dir_path
-
Expand and add to files to be processed.
- file_path
-
Add to files to be processed.
See #expand_dirs_to_files for details on how expansion occurs.
Subtraction happens last, regardless of argument ordering.
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 75 def process_args pos_files = [] neg_files = [] flags = [] args.each do |arg| case arg when /^@(.*)/ then # push back on, so they can have dirs/-/@ as well args.concat process_file $1 when /^-(.*)/ then if File.exist? $1 then neg_files += expand_dirs_to_files($1) else flags << arg end else if File.exist? arg then pos_files += expand_dirs_to_files(arg) else flags << arg end end end [pos_files - neg_files, flags] end
Process a file into more arguments. Override this to add additional capabilities.
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 56 def process_file path File.readlines(path).map(&:chomp) end
Process over flags and treat any special ones here. Returns an array of the flags you haven't processed.
This version does nothing. Subclass and override for customization.
# File lib/path_expander.rb, line 109 def process_flags flags flags end
