Plugin Option 3: Rake Tasks

This plugin type adds custom Rake tasks to your project that can be run with ceedling <custom_task>.

Naming and location conventions: <plugin_name>/<plugin_name>.rake

Rake will be fully deprecated in the future

The Ceedling project is working towards fully removing Rake as a runtime dependency.

Example Rake task

# Only tasks with description are listed by `ceedling -T`
desc "Print hello world to console"
task :hello_world do
  sh "echo Hello World!"
end

Resulting, example command line:

 > ceedling hello_world
 > Hello World!

Project configuration file:

:plugins:
  :load_paths:
    - support/plugins
  :enabled:
    - hello_world

Ceedling project directory structure:

project/
├── project.yml
└── support/
    └── plugins/
        └── hello_world/
            └── hello_world.rake
