Bash completion support for Rake, Ruby Make.
$ rake st<Tab>
$ rake stats
$ rake test<Tab><Tab>
test test:integration test:recent
test:benchmark test:plugins test:uncommitted
test:functionals test:profile test:units
It caches tasks to .rake_tasks~
file, which makes it faster from default completion from Ubuntu rake.
If Rakefile is not present in current directory, autocomplete will try to locate it in parent directories up to filesystem root, so running tasks is also possible from subdirectories.
Obsolete: the package is no longer available at PPA.
1. Add Ubuntu on Rails PPA:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
2. Install rake-completion
package:
$ sudo apt-get install rake-completion
Make sure you are running an up-to-date bash
version (at least 4.3).
Installing bash and bash-completion with homebrew run:
$ brew install bash bash-completion
Then install this script:
$ curl -o /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/rake https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai/rake-completion/master/rake
Copy rake
script to /etc/bash_completion.d/
.
$ wget -O /etc/bash_completion.d/rake https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai/rake-completion/master/rake
Copy rake
script (for example, to ~/scripts/
) and add to your .bashrc
:
. ~/scripts/rake
Tasks cache in .rake_tasks~
file is placed in directory with Rakefile and
will be updated on changes in Rakefile or any *.rake
files.
To remove tasks cache (and another backup files) from Git repository add *~
to
.gitignore
file.
