RakeDashboard
Does your application's deployment environment include shell access? Does it include ruby? No? RakeDashboard might be for you too!
Without a command line with ruby, it is hard to use rake. You may already have a lot of important functionality invested in your rake tasks. That makes sense, Rails ships a lot of great rake tasks.
RakeDashboard lets you run your rake tasks from a browser! Now you can throw your Rails apps over the fence as a warfile into a system you have no real permissions to use, and still:
- update your database schema
- seed your database
- run your test suites
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rake_dashboard'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Finally, run the provided install generator to add an initializer and a default mount point of /rake
:
$ rails g rake_dashboard:install
Usage
-
Point your browser to your new route:
/rake/tasks
. -
Click on the task you want to run.
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
