  Yes. Git clone. Braid is also nice.

  A simple braindead way of doing this is to close the rails repo for each version. Of course that would be expensive.

  Can we export from a tag from a repo in Git?

  IMHO clone would be better than braid, given that this is for CI stuff. (braid if you want to check it in, and braid is sloooow)

  Maybe just clone the one repo in vendor/rails, and hook up the pre_commit script to checkout different branches before each run. If this would work, then there is the advantage of not monkey patching config/boot.rb

  +1 on the single repo. That would simplify things a great deal.

  Ok, I've been experimenting with using local git repos to help with CI.

  I've stuck it all in here: http://github.com/ianwhite/garlic

  My approach is to actually create different rails apps (as opposed to having one app with different vendors).

  Because the repos are all local, this is fast and easy. I've created a mini-dsl which simply allows specification of repos, rails targets, plugins, and any prepare code that needs to be done. There is room for more stuff.

  I've actually applied it it one of my own plugins

  http://github.com/ianwhite/inher... it seems to work pretty good.

  Just clone it, and run rake cruise, everything gets downloaded and run.

  I think this approach could work for rspec, it seems to me that a lot of the cruft in the pre_commit stuff comes from trying to maintain the different rails versions within one app. This approach just builds a new app each time.

  This is like 3 hours old, so there's plenty of room for improvement (and specing).

  Cheers,

  Ian

  • → Milestone changed from “No-Milestone-Assigned” to “1.1.4”
  • → State changed from “new” to “resolved”

  OK - 'tis using git clone now. Multirails.rake checks out the different tags.

  Not working w/ edge right now, but that's a separate matter.
