ApplicationDigester

Disclaimer: This library is still in early stages of development.

This gem is intended to be used with a rails application, and has a dependency on Rails.root. By default, files in log and tmp are excluded in digesting.

Having a digest of the application running files is useful to know what code is actually running. Typically, a git SHA will be superior to calculating your own digest from the files for at least one major reason: You can quickly access the exact version of code running in git using the SHA. However, depending on the setup of your environment you might not have access to the git repo. This is where ApplicationDigester is useful.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'application_digester'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install application_digester

Usage

For now: ApplicationDigester.new.digest

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
