I'm interested. By all means fork metric_fu on github, add it in, and send me a pull request. Thanks taking the time to write reek - I'll have to check it out.

Should I add it in github?

Hey Jake, this looks great. Unfortunately I'm on a Windows machine, so your calls to "sh '...' |ok, response| ..." are dying. Is there a Windows (or even better, OS-agnostic) equivalent, or perhaps an sh gem of sorts for Windows that you know of?

Simple enough. Thanks!

Good point, Sean -- I didn't think about that. You'll have to create a new rake task and have it do the migration first like so:
task :my_metrics => ["db:migrate", "metrics:all"]

Then you can just call 'my_metrics' in the cruise control config file.

What's the best way to get CC.rb to run 2 rake tasks in succession? The default 'rake' makes sure that the migrations are run (somewhere in that hierarchy), but metrics:all does not. Whenever we post a new migration (we're early in development), the build fails every test because the DB is out of sync.

It's a plugin without an init.rb so it really doesn't 'pollute' the application. Essentially it's a few rake tasks and Saikuro bundled up in a convenient package. If, however, you can't stand having it in your app, you could check out http://kwala.rubyforge.org

Same here. I'd like to avoid having to install gems on the dev machines if they're not needed. Maybe you and this guy can work together:

Hi - thanks for this, looks really useful.

Like Chad, I'm interested to know whether this can be set up on the CI machine without polluting the rails apps themselves?

wow, I could have really used this 6 months ago :)

I attempted a something similar, it was a mix between metric_fu and autotest. Called it autometric: http://benburkert.com/2007/11/9/introducing-autometric

It was a hack, and the performance hit on my system wasn't worth the realtime-iness of the metrics. If metric_fu is better performance wise, it might be worth taking another go at it.

2008-04-27T22:01:00.000-05:00

I don't know how people are going to use this plugin. The potential user may not use cc.rb and just want to occasionally generate some reports. metric_fu puts the reports in a 'metrics' folder when not run inside a cc.rb build (it looks for the presence of ENV['CC_BUILD_ARTIFACTS'] to determine if it's being run by cc.rb).

Looks Great. Is there a way to do this so it can just be installed on the CI machine, instead of having to be installed right in the rails app?
