#all_tasks ⇒ Object

  @all_tasks.merge(tasks)
end

#argument(name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Adds an argument to the class and creates an attr_accessor for it.

Arguments are different from options in several aspects. The first one is how they are parsed from the command line, arguments are retrieved from position:

thor task NAME

Instead of:

thor task --name=NAME

Besides, arguments are used inside your code as an accessor (self.argument), while options are all kept in a hash (self.options).

Finally, arguments cannot have type :default or :boolean but can be optional (supplying :optional => :true or :required => false), although you cannot have a required argument after a non-required argument. If you try it, an error is raised.

Parameters

name<Symbol>

The name of the argument.

options<Hash>

Described below.

Options

:desc - Description for the argument. :required - If the argument is required or not. :optional - If the argument is optional or not. :type - The type of the argument, can be :string, :hash, :array, :numeric. :default - Default value for this argument. It cannot be required and have default values. :banner - String to show on usage notes.

Errors

ArgumentError

Raised if you supply a required argument after a non required one.

#class_options(options = nil) ⇒ Object

Adds a bunch of options to the set of class options.

class_options :foo => false, :bar => :required, :baz => :string

If you prefer more detailed declaration, check class_option.

#group(name = nil) ⇒ Object

Defines the group. This is used when thor list is invoked so you can specify that only tasks from a pre-defined group will be shown. Defaults to standard.

  end
end

#namespace(name = nil) ⇒ Object

Sets the namespace for the Thor or Thor::Group class. By default the namespace is retrieved from the class name. If your Thor class is named Scripts::MyScript, the help method, for example, will be called as:

thor scripts:my_script -h

If you change the namespace:

namespace :my_scripts

You change how your tasks are invoked:

thor my_scripts -h

Finally, if you change your namespace to default:

namespace :default

Your tasks can be invoked with a shortcut. Instead of:

thor :my_task

end

#no_tasks ⇒ Object

All methods defined inside the given block are not added as tasks.

So you can do:

class MyScript < Thor
  no_tasks do
    def this_is_not_a_task
    end
  end
end

You can also add the method and remove it from the task list:

class MyScript < Thor
  def this_is_not_a_task
  end
  remove_task :this_is_not_a_task
end

  end
end

#remove_task(*names) ⇒ Object

Removes a given task from this Thor class. This is usually done if you are inheriting from another class and don’t want it to be available anymore.

By default it only remove the mapping to the task. But you can supply :undefine => true to undefine the method from the class as well.

Parameters

name<Symbol|String>

The name of the task to be removed

options<Hash>

You can give :undefine => true if you want tasks the method to be undefined from the class as well.

#start(given_args = ARGV, config = {}) ⇒ Object

Parses the task and options from the given args, instantiate the class and invoke the task. This method is used when the arguments must be parsed from an array. If you are inside Ruby and want to use a Thor class, you can simply initialize it:

script = MyScript.new(args, options, config)
script.invoke(:task, first_arg, second_arg, third_arg)
