required for building on a different machine to what your live
config is kept on. This way you can build on one machine,
distribute to new machine, then run overlays against a live
config to prevent accidently running code against a live
config in a development or ci environment.
This patch modifies rebar_core to allow plugins to participate in the
pre and post processing steps, giving plugin authors more flexibility
and control.
Currently rebar_utils:sh/2 will invoke all commands through bash.exe if
found. Otherwise the command will be executed directly. Despite the fact
that the caller cannot know if the command is executed with Unix or
Windows semantics it leads to problems with MSYS's automatic path name
translation.
Therefore remove bash usage on Windows to get a consistent behavior and
to avoid the peculiarities of MSYS's automatic path conversion. Instead
use cmd.exe as its typically needed by most commands.
While building a upgrade package rebar will add new paths to the
internal erlang path, these paths and their order have effects on how
the package is built. This patch should fix some corner cases where a
user can receive a "undefined application" error.
While building an upgrade the sys.config file should be copied into the
upgrade tarball so release_handler:install_releases/1 does not clobber
the existing configuration from the application environment.
This patch adds support for customising the way in which rebar generates
version numbers for app.src files using the `{vsn,Spec}` approach.
Whilst the existing `{vsn,ScmName::atom()}` syntax will continue to
work, users can also pass `{vsn,{cmd,Cmd::string()}}` in which
case the provided *command* will be used. For example:
```erlang
{application, doodah,
[
{vsn, {cmd, "git rev-parse --short HEAD"}}]}.
```
This patch corrects the vm.args behavior while building upgrade tarballs
by copying the file from the release into the upgrade. Additionally it
patches the dummy runner script in the upgrade test project to work
properly.
app.config has been a long standing erroneous file in rebar. Erlang/OTP
documentation suggests a sys.config file instead. This file is stored in
the releases/VSN directory. This does a few things but most importantly
it ensures your config (contained in the application environment)
survives a hot upgrade. It also has the advantage of allowing the
configuration of the application to be versioned along side the
application code. This patch flips rebar to use sys.config rather than
app.config.
Additionally it makes this flip to vm.args as well, making them
versioned just like sys.config.
This patch also includes runner script changes to support the old
etc/app.config config file location and support for Windows.
Thanks to mokele for the initial work and kick in the pants to make this
finially happen.
This patch fixes the warning logging when the number of missing plugins
is greater than one. The current code only works by accident, when a
single plugin is all that is missing.
Export two extra environment variables when executing shell commands.
These variables are useful for rebar hooks that rely on Erlang
applications installed as rebar dependencies.
$REBAR_DEPS_DIR contains a fully-qualified name of the directory where
rebar stores dependencies.
$ERL_LIBS is set to $REBAR_DEPS_DIR or to "$REBAR_DEPS_DIR:$ERL_LIBS",
if $ERL_LIBS was defined before.
