run and in_root not working

[jhancock]

example: http://gist.github.com/328329
Thor gem v 0.13.4

I'm trying to write some simple tasks with thor with no luck. See the above gist which tries to start and stop nginx. When I execute shell commands like cat #{nginx_pid_path} it works but when I try to use thor actions like run or in_root, I get errors (below). Why does action say() work, but run() does not?

run works fine for me with my recent fork

require 'thor/group'
require 'active_support/inflector'

class Thorcat < Thor::Group
  include Thor::Actions

  # Define arguments and options
  argument :name

  def run_cat
    run "cat #{name}"    
  end                                                
  
end 


$ thor thorcat main.thor
         run  cat main.thor from "."
$

Can you please add a failing test case in Thor test suite?

[andrehjr]

Actually this is not a bug... you just forgot to add 'include Thor::Actions'..

[josevalim]

Yeah... closing.
