How to refactor (?) a long deploy.rb

[jrhorn424]

I'd like to split my deploy.rb up into multiple files for maintenance. I've tried the following:

Dir.glob('tasks/*.rb').each { |r| require r }
Dir.glob('tasks/*.rb').each { |r| load r }
Dir.glob('tasks/*.rb').each { |r| import r }

However, if I remove the :environment block into a different file, mina tasks fail silently. What should I do instead?

Did you make it load before the other tasks? Should work.

I've gone back to just using a long deploy.rb for now. I think the problem was that I had the environment block pulled out into a different file, and the files are loading alphabetically. Thanks for the tip!

Well you'd just have to require the file that contains the environment task explicitly first. When you do the wildcard require it will be skipped since it was already required (just don't do load since that will reload it, and that's not necessary).

PS: And as described in docs http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Dir.html#method-c-glob the order is platform-dependent, so you are not guaranteed any specific order.
