Custom nanoc Rakefile

Rakefile

require 'nanoc3/tasks'
require 'rubygems'

def rebuild_site(relative)
	begin
		puts ">>> Change Detected to: #{relative} >> Update Complete "
		sh 'nanoc co'
	rescue StandardError => e
		puts e
	end
end

desc "Watch the site and regenerate when it changes"
task :watch do
	require 'em-dir-watcher'
	puts ">>> Watching for Changes <<<"
	EM.run {
		EMDirWatcher.watch File.dirname(__FILE__), 
			:include_only => ['Rules', '/content', '/layouts', '/lib'],
			:grace_period => 0.2 do |paths|
				rebuild_site paths
		end
	}
end

desc "Completely empty /output"
task :clobber do
	sh "rm -rf output/* output/.[Dh]*"
end

This is my custom Rakefile for use with nanoc. Features include:

• Custom watch task so that I don't have to use adsf to serve sites during development. (I prefer apache2 and virtual hosts)
• Clobber task to unequivocally wipe /output.
