This is a trivial guard extension that runs ruby files. You might use it to develop benchmarks or other small one-off scripts that don't require much ceremony.
Install the gem:
$ gem install guard-ruby
Or add it to your Gemfile:
gem 'guard-ruby'
Add an example to your Guardfile:
$ guard init ruby
Please read the Guard usage doc
The original motivation was for developing benchmarks - single file ruby projects that should be re-run each time they change.
guard 'ruby' do
# run any benchmarking files
watch(/bench.*\.rb/)
end
If you provide a block, the return value will be used as the script to run.
guard 'ruby' do
# run a program when it's data is changed
watch(/.*\.csv/) { 'convert.rb' }
end
