• mdt-core >= 0.1.0
• Ruby (tested with 2.5.0, earlier versions down to 2.0 may also work)

Objects defined by module

NOTE: All of the options are optional unless indicated otherwise.

Commands

• versioned.link_current - creates a symlink to the current release version. Options:
  • current_name - name of the link to the current release version, "current" by default.
• versioned.link_shared - creates symlinks to the contents of the shared directory inside the current release directory. Options:
  • shared_name - name of the shared directory, "shared" by default.
• versioned.cleanup - deletes old releases. Options:
  • retained_versions_count - number of releases to retain including current release, 2 by default.

Directory choosers

• versioned.integer - uses versioned subdirectories based on increasing integer (1, 2, etc.). Creates and changes to the directory. Removes the directory on failure. Options:
  • path - path of the base deployment directory. Required.
  • releases_dirname - name of the directory that contains versioned release directories, "releases" by default.
• versioned.timestamp - uses versioned subdirectories based on the formatted date and time. Creates and changes to the directory. Removes the directory on failure. Options:
  • path - path of the base deployment directory. Required.
  • releases_dirname - name of the directory that contains versioned release directories, "releases" by default.
  • timestamp_format - format of the timestamp as required by Ruby Time.strftime method, "%Y%m%d%H%M%S" by default.

Both of the directory choosers set the following data in the MDT::DataStorage object:

• versioned_base_path - path of the base deployment directory.
• versioned_version_id - current version identifier.
• versioned_releases_dirname - name of the directory that contains versioned release directories.

Data storage notice

All of the data in the MDT::DataStorage object set by the directory choosers has to be set for this module's commands to work properly.
