Class RDoc::RDoc
In: rdoc.rb
Parent: Object

Encapsulate the production of rdoc documentation. Basically you can use this as you would invoke rdoc from the command line:

   rdoc = RDoc::RDoc.new
   rdoc.document(args)

where args is an array of strings, each corresponding to an argument you‘d give rdoc on the command line. See rdoc/rdoc.rb for details.

Methods

Constants

Generator = Struct.new(:file_name, :class_name, :key)   This is the list of output generators that we support
GENERATORS = {}

Public Instance methods

Format up one or more files according to the given arguments. For simplicity, argv is an array of strings, equivalent to the strings that would be passed on the command line. (This isn‘t a coincidence, as we do pass in ARGV when running interactively). For a list of options, see rdoc/rdoc.rb. By default, output will be stored in a directory called doc below the current directory, so make sure you‘re somewhere writable before invoking.

Throws: RDocError on error

Return a list of the files to be processed in a directory. We know that this directory doesn‘t have a .document file, so we‘re looking for real files. However we may well contain subdirectories which must be tested for .document files

     # File rdoc.rb, line 184
184:     def list_files_in_directory(dir, options)
185:       normalized_file_list(options, Dir.glob(File.join(dir, "*")), false, options.exclude)
186:     end

Given a list of files and directories, create a list of all the Ruby files they contain.

If force_doc is true, we always add the given files. If false, only add files that we guarantee we can parse It is true when looking at files given on the command line, false when recursing through subdirectories.

The effect of this is that if you want a file with a non- standard extension parsed, you must name it explicity.

     # File rdoc.rb, line 156
156:     def normalized_file_list(options, relative_files, force_doc = false, exclude_pattern=nil)

167:           if File.file?(dot_doc)
168:             file_list.concat(parse_dot_doc_file(rel_file_name, dot_doc, options))

171:           end
172:         else
173:           raise RDocError.new("I can't deal with a #{type} #{rel_file_name}")

The .document file contains a list of file and directory name patterns, representing candidates for documentation. It may also contain comments (starting with ’#’)

131:       # read and strip comments

134:       result = []
135: 
136:       patterns.split.each do |patt|
137:         candidates = Dir.glob(File.join(in_dir, patt))
138:         result.concat(normalized_file_list(options,  candidates))

Parse each file on the command line, recursively entering directories

Create an output dir if it doesn‘t exist. If it does exist, but doesn‘t contain the flag file created.rid then we refuse to use it, as we may clobber some manually generated documentation

122:       end
123:       File.open(flag_file, "w") {|f| f.puts Time.now }
