=========== 2. Tutorial =========== 2.1 Firs mkfile.py ================== First, we need to make an empty "mkfile.py". Pymk will try to search for a list of taks and will find nothing. >>> touch mkfile.py >>> pymk Avalible tasks: Now we need to make simple task. Put this in mkfile.py :: from pymk.task import Task class task(Task): dependencys = [] def build(cls): print 'Hello' And now we can execute >>> pymk Avalible tasks: task >>> pymk task * Building 'task' Hello If you want pymk to run some task by default, just put this line at the end of the mkfile.py :: SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } And run >>> pymk * Building 'task' Hello Ok, but now our task are build every time we change it. We need to make a file in our script, and point which file we are creating. Out mkfile.py should look like this :: from pymk.task import Task from pymk.extra import touch class task(Task): dependencys = [] output_file = 'a.out' def build(cls): touch(cls.output_file) SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } And then we execute >>> pymk * Building 'task' >>> pymk * 'task' is up to date >>> ls a.out a.out And now we start playing. We need some dependency. Here's the file :: from pymk.task import Task from pymk.dependency import FileChanged class task(Task): output_file = 'a.out' dependencys = [ FileChanged('b.out'), ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_4.png This is how the graph will draw our mkfile. Now we can try: >>> pymk Could not create file b.out >>> ls mkfile.py mkfile.pyc But this will not work becouse of absance of b.out file. So we will create it and try again. >>> touch b.out >>> pymk * Building 'task' >>> ls a.out b.out mkfile.py mkfile.pyc >>> pymk * 'task' is up to date >>> touch b.out >>> pymk * Building 'task' As we can see, a.out will be created when b.out will be changed. This dependency is implemented for files that can changed by external programs (or programmers). And this is good moment for describing the -g option for pymk (make a graph). 2.2 Making tasks graphs ======================= We will change the mkfile a little bit, so we will have two dependencys. :: from pymk.task import Task from pymk.dependency import FileChanged class task(Task): output_file = 'a.out' dependencys = [ FileChanged('b.out'), FileChanged('c.out'), ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } >>> pymk -g graph.png .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_5.png As we can see, our tasks depends on two files. Our task will rebuild when at least one of thoes files will be never then our output file. The "C" stands for "change" near the arrow. If we run this: >>> touch b.out >>> touch c.out >>> pymk -g graph.png task .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_5_run1.png The red color means "this dependency accured" or "this task was runned". If we run this again: >>> pymk -g graph.png task .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_5_run2.png No task was builded, because no depedency accured. If we change one of this file, then only one dependency will be red. >>> touch c.out >>> pymk -g graph.png task .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_5_run3.png 2.3 Task dependency with another task ===================================== If we need a task depedency, like "if task changed, rebuild me" we can make something like that :: from pymk.task import Task from pymk.dependency import FileChanged class secon_task(Task): output_file = 'b.out' dependencys = [ FileChanged('d.out'), ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() class task(Task): output_file = 'a.out' dependencys = [ secon_task.dependency_FileChanged(), FileChanged('c.out') ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_6.png And new can run this: >>> rm *.out # if something was left before >>> touch c.out d.out >>> pymk * Building 'secon_task' * Building 'task' .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_6_run1.png >>> pymk * 'task' is up to date .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_6_run2.png >>> touch d.out >>> pymk * Building 'secon_task' * Building 'task' .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_6_run3.png But what if we want to do "task" only once, after the "second_task" is created and not when the task is rebuilded? We can use FileExists. :: from pymk.task import Task from pymk.dependency import FileChanged class secon_task(Task): output_file = 'b.out' dependencys = [ FileChanged('d.out'), ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() class task(Task): output_file = 'a.out' dependencys = [ secon_task.dependency_FileExists(), FileChanged('c.out') ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_7.png >>> rm *.out >>> touch c.out d.out >>> pymk task -g tutorial_phase_7_run1.png * Building 'secon_task' * Building 'task' .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_7_run1.png >>> touch d.out >>> pymk task -g tutorial_phase_7_run2.png * Building 'secon_task' * 'task' is up to date .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_7_run2.png 2.4 Command task ================ Sometimes task will run program instead of creating files (like run deveopers web server). For this task the "AlwaysRebuild" dependency is created. When used this dependency the task will be always rebuilded. :: from pymk.task import Task from pymk.dependency import FileChanged, AlwaysRebuild class secon_task(Task): output_file = 'b.out' dependencys = [ FileChanged('d.out'), ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() class task(Task): output_file = 'a.out' dependencys = [ secon_task.dependency_FileExists(), FileChanged('c.out'), AlwaysRebuild(), ] def build(cls): fp = open(cls.output_file, 'a') fp.write('bulded!\n') fp.close() SETTINGS = { 'default task' : task, } .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_8.png The shape and the color of the task with "AlwaysRebuild" dependency changed on the graph and the "AlwaysRebuild" dependency is not shown. Now, we can run it. >>> rm *.out >>> touch c.out d.out >>> pymk * Building 'secon_task' * Building 'task' .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_8_run1.png >>> pymk * Building 'task' .. image:: ./images/tutorial_phase_8_run2.png
