Rake Tasks for the Cloud Foundry API

Assumes that the user has already authenticated using the cf command.

Org

As a developer deploying a Cloud Foundry app using rake, I want an organization to exist, so that cf target -o ORG succeeds:

desc 'Organization exists'
organization 'some-org'

task target_org: 'some-org' do
  `cf target -o some-org`
end

Domain

As a developer deploying a Cloud Foundry app using rake, I want a domain referenced by my app to exist, so that the push succeed.

desc 'Domain exists'
domain 'example.com', 'some-org'

task domains: 'example.com' do
  puts 'Domains available for the current org:'
  puts `cf domains`
end

Notes

Orgs, spaces, domains, etc. must all be unique, but you can name the task something unique and then override the task name within the block.

Example: Perhaps you have an org and a space that are both named foo. The task for space foo would have to list the org foo as a prerequisite, which would create an endless loop. Instead, just alias the organization task as bar, so that it becomes unique. Within the block, the actual name of the org is specified like this:

organization 'bar' do |t|
  t.name = 'foo' # the real name
end

space foo: 'bar' # space foo depends on the (aliased) org

TODO

• Check whether Ruby Tapas' Episode #420: Rake Custom Task helps

• Space

  desc 'Space exists'
  space 'dev' => 'some-org'
  
  task target_space: 'dev' do
    `cf target -o some-org -s dev`
  end
