Rake and 1.8.4

ruby-talk

Looks like there may be a problem with Rake 0.6.2 and Ruby 1.8.4. If I have a task that uses either chdir or cd, I get an error:

   rake aborted!
   no such option: noop
   /Users/jamis/ruby184/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1422:in `fu_check_options'
   /Users/jamis/ruby184/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:119:in `cd'
   /Users/jamis/ruby184/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.6.2/lib/rake.rb:640:in `cd'
   ./rakefile:67

Apparenly, FileUtils.chdir doesn't take the :noop parameter anymore? I'm working around this by just invoking FileUtils.chdir directly.

There's this in the change log:

  * lib/fileutils.rb (cd): no longer accept :noop option, related
    code is useless (backported from trunk, rev 1.67).
    [ruby-core:05858] [ruby-Bugs:2494]

I think you are supposed to use FileUtils::DryRun somehow instead. Haven't looked at it in detail...

IIRC I encountered this very bug some time ago, with 1.8.3. The advice I found at the time was to switch to a beta version, 0.6.99.2, which you can find at: http://onestepback.org/betagems/gems/rake-0.6.99.2.gem . Since making the switch I've encountered no such problems; I've just tried the following Rakefile with 1.8.4:

  task :default do
    chdir('..') do
      puts `pwd`
    end
  end

And it gives:

  (in /home/rosco/dev/ruby/raketest)
  cd ..
  /home/rosco/dev/ruby
  cd -

Rake 0.6.99.2 is the release candidate for Rake 0.7.0. There is still
some documentation to be done, but I plan to finish that this week and
officially release a new version of rake.
