Overview

A class for reading and writing property list values.

Why not use CFPropertyList? Because it is super wonky. Among its other faults, it matches Boolean to a string type with ‘true/false’ values which is problematic for our purposes.

def create_plist(path)
  File.open(path, 'w') do |file|
    file.puts "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
    file.puts "<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC \"-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN\" \"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd\">"
    file.puts "<plist version=\"1.0\">"
    file.puts '<dict>'
    file.puts '</dict>'
    file.puts '</plist>'
  end
  path
end

#plist_key_exists?(key, file, opts = {}) ⇒ Boolean

Checks if the key exists in plist.

Parameters:

  • key (String) —

    the key to inspect (may not be nil or empty)

  • file (String) —

    the plist to read

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    options for controlling execution

Options Hash (opts):

  • :verbose (Boolean) — default: false —

    controls log level

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the key exists in plist file

end

#plist_read(key, file, opts = {}) ⇒ String

Reads key from file and returns the result.

Parameters:

  • key (String) —

    the key to inspect (may not be nil or empty)

  • file (String) —

    the plist to read

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    options for controlling execution

Options Hash (opts):

  • :verbose (Boolean) — default: false —

#plist_set(key, type, value, file, opts = {}) ⇒ Boolean

Replaces or creates the value of key in the file.

Parameters:

    the plist to read

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    options for controlling execution

Options Hash (opts):

  • :verbose (Boolean) — default: false —

    controls log level

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the operation was successful

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —
