Mina plugin to provide local task hooks that run before and after the mina commands.

Mina uses a queueing system to create a deploy script that executes on the remote system but that leaves no way to know when the deploy has started or ended.

mina-hooks gets around this limitation by defining a new mina_cleanup! method that does the following:

• detect if mina is being run with the deploy argument
• invoke each of the before_mina_tasks
• delegate to the pre-existing mina_cleanup!
• invoke each of the after_mina_tasks

This is extremenly dependant on Mina internals so buyer beware. However, it's not a lot of code so we should be fine. It will all be just fine.

Helper methods to add tasks to the lists: (see Usage)

• before_mina
• after_mina

Lists of tasks to be run before and after the mina commands:

• before_mina_tasks
• after_mina_tasks

Prints confirmation that the hook is running

• <----- Invoke before mina tasks
• <----- Invoke after mina tasks

Prints task list using Mina-style output if set to verbose

• >> tasks: some:task, some:other:task

Task invocation is still handled by Rake and operates under the same rules you've come to expect.

require "mina/hooks"

# Inside your deploy tasks ...

before_mina :"some:task", :"some:other:task"
before_mina :"task:added:later"

puts before_mina_tasks.inspect
# => [:"some:task", :"some:other:task", :"task:added:later"]

# ...

# Still inside your deploy tasks ...

after_mina :"some:task", :"some:other:task"
after_mina :"task:added:later", :"some:task"

puts after_mina_tasks.inspect
# => [:"some:task", :"some:other:task", :"task:added:later", :"some:task"]

# ...

Because this is Rake, the above task some:task will only be invoked once.
