require 'rails/engine' module Rails # Rails::Plugin is nothing more than a Rails::Engine, but since it's loaded too late # in the boot process, it does not have the same configuration powers as a bare # Rails::Engine. # # Opposite to Rails::Railtie and Rails::Engine, you are not supposed to inherit from # Rails::Plugin. Rails::Plugin is automatically configured to be an engine by simply # placing inside vendor/plugins. Since this is done automatically, you actually cannot # declare a Rails::Engine inside your Plugin, otherwise it would cause the same files # to be loaded twice. This means that if you want to ship an Engine as gem it cannot # be used as plugin and vice-versa. # # Besides this conceptual difference, the only difference between Rails::Engine and # Rails::Plugin is that plugins automatically load the file "init.rb" at the plugin # root during the boot process. # class Plugin < Engine def self.inherited(base) raise "You cannot inherit from Rails::Plugin" end def self.all(list, paths) plugins = [] paths.each do |path| Dir["#{path}/*"].each do |plugin_path| plugin = new(plugin_path) next unless list.include?(plugin.name) || list.include?(:all) plugins << plugin end end plugins.sort_by do |p| [list.index(p.name) || list.index(:all), p.name.to_s] end end attr_reader :name, :path def load_tasks super extra_tasks = Dir["#{root}/{tasks,rails/tasks}/**/*.rake"] unless extra_tasks.empty?
