Testing a Generator in a Rails Engine

Testing a generator in a Rails engine can result in unwanted modifications of files in the test/dummy directory.

# lib/generators/my_engine/install_generator.rb
module MyEngine
  module Generators
    class InstallGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
      source_root File.expand_path("templates", __dir__)

Generator

class DemoGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
  source_root File.expand_path("templates", __dir__)

  def make_table
    generate "migration", "create_demos_table name:string"
  end
end

Intentionally raise an error that needs to be handled manually

Sometimes there are cases when an actual human needs to intervene during edge cases.

# app/lib/manual_intervention_error.rb
class ManualInterventionError < StandardError
  def initialize(message = "An error occured that needs to be addressed manually")
    super
 end

	irb(main):001* ENV.fetch("NODE_VERSION") do
	irb(main):002* `node --version`
	irb(main):003* rescue
	irb(main):004* "1.2.3"
	irb(main):005> end
	=> "1.2.3"
	irb(main):006> exit
