Overview

An Actor is the entity that actually does the work of determining which servers should be the target of a particular task, and of executing the task on each of them in parallel. An Actor is never instantiated directly–rather, you create a new Configuration instance, and access the new actor via Configuration#actor.

#delete(path, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Deletes the given file from all servers targetted by the current task. If :recursive => true is specified, it may be used to remove directories.

#put(data, path, options = {}) ⇒ Object

end

#releases ⇒ Object

    @releases = buffer.split.sort
  end

  @releases
end

#render(*args) ⇒ Object

Renders an ERb template and returns the result. This is useful for dynamically building documents to store on the remote servers.

Usage:

render("something", :foo => "hello")
  look for "something.rhtml" in the current directory, or in the
  switchtower/recipes/templates directory, and render it with
  foo defined as a local variable with the value "hello".

render(:file => "something", :foo => "hello")
  same as above

render(:template => "<%= foo %> world", :foo => "hello")
  treat the given string as an ERb template and render it with
  the given hash of local variables active.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

  end
end

#run(cmd, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Execute the given command on all servers that are the target of the current task. If a block is given, it is invoked for all output generated by the command, and should accept three parameters: the SSH channel (which may be used to send data back to the remote process), the stream identifier (:err for stderr, and :out for stdout), and the data that was received.

If pretend mode is active, this does nothing.

  end

  execute_on_servers(options) do |servers|
    # execute the command on each server in parallel
    command = self.class.command_factory.new(servers, cmd, block, options, self)
    command.process! # raises an exception if command fails on any server
  end
end

#sudo(command, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Like #run, but executes the command via sudo. This assumes that the sudo password (if required) is the same as the password for logging in to the server.

end

#transaction ⇒ Object

Invoke a set of tasks in a transaction. If any task fails (raises an exception), all tasks executed within the transaction are inspected to see if they have an associated on_rollback hook, and if so, that hook is called.
