RFE: show app_specific.rb methods in help output

[joemfb]

I'm often opening up or cat'ing deploy/app_specific.rb to see what custom methods are available. It'd be handy to have them available in the ./ml -h command output.

I have been thinking about that recently as well. Not sure you can list them using introspection, but you can append to the Help class..

Experimented a bit. How about:

Help.rb changes:

  def self.usage
    help = <<-DOC.strip_heredoc

      Usage:
        ml [ENVIRONMENT] COMMAND [ARGS]

      General commands (no environment):
         ...
    DOC

    help += app_specific || ''

    help += <<-DOC.strip_heredoc

      All commands can be run with -h or --help for more information.
    DOC

    help
  end

  def self.app_specific
    #stub
  end

And then you append this to app_specific.rb:

class Help
  def self.app_specific
    <<-DOC.strip_heredoc

      App-specific commands:
        example       Installs app-specific alerting
    DOC
  end
end

Fixed in dev

Awesome, thanks Geert!
