rake svn:update git:pull fails

[grobmeier]

After a succesful rake docker:update, I wanted to run:

rake svn:update git:pull

The result is:

** Invoke svn:update (first_time)
** Invoke config (first_time)
** Execute config
rake aborted!

Tasks: TOP => svn:update => config

Looks I missed to configure something but could not find what it is from here:
https://github.com/apache/whimsy/blob/master/DOCKER.md

Did you issue the following command?

echo ":root: ." >.whimsy

The '.whimsy' file should be in the parent directory, i.e. one level above where DOCKER.md is located.

[grobmeier]

Yes, I did it according to the docs. My folder structure looks like:

-rw-r--r--   1 cy  staff     9B May 17 20:48 .whimsy
drwxr-xr-x   2 cy  staff    64B May 16 18:38 cache
drwxr-xr-x   9 cy  staff   288B May 18 19:04 gems
drwxr-xr-x   3 cy  staff    96B May 16 18:38 mail
drwxr-xr-x  11 cy  staff   352B May 16 18:38 subscriptions
drwxr-xr-x  37 cy  staff   1.2K May 18 18:43 whimsy

The content of .whimsy is:

:root: .

[sebbASF]

The problem is that the Rakefile is expecting to find the config under /srv/whimsy/lib; however /srv/whimsy is only set up under docker.

Can you please try editing Rakefile as follows?
Thanks!

--- a/Rakefile
+++ b/Rakefile
@@ -108,7 +108,7 @@ end
 
 # This requires Gems such as Wunderbar to have been set up
 task :config do
-  $LOAD_PATH.unshift '/srv/whimsy/lib'
+  $LOAD_PATH.unshift 'lib'

[sebbASF]

The Rakefile assumes that it will be run from the directory in which it appears. Indeed it looks for the library sources (which include config) here:

whimsy/Rakefile

Line 10 in 9b25083

lib_update = Dir['lib/**/*'].map {|n| File.mtime n rescue Time.at(0)}.max

So it should be OK to make that change for all circumstances.
But it would be good to get confirmation that it fixes the issue for you!

[grobmeier]

@sebbASF - it indeed fixes the issue for me. I could successfully run the command. For your convenience I just created a PR with your proposed change. Thanks a lot for your help!
