        # each directory individually.
        # So stack up the directory tree and add the paths to
        # subversion in order without recursion.
        if options[:svn]
    stack=[relative_path]
    until File.dirname(stack.last) == stack.last # dirname('.') == '.'

Copy a file from source to destination with collision checking.

The file_options hash accepts :chmod and :shebang and :collision options. :chmod sets the permissions of the destination file:

  file 'config/empty.log', 'log/test.log', :chmod => 0664

:shebang sets the #!/usr/bin/ruby line for scripts

  file 'bin/generate.rb', 'script/generate', :chmod => 0755, :shebang => '/usr/bin/env ruby'

:collision sets the collision option only for the destination file:

  file 'settings/server.yml', 'config/server.yml', :collision => :skip

Collisions are handled by checking whether the destination file exists and either skipping the file, forcing overwrite, or asking the user what to do.

          if destination_exists

            # Make a choice whether to overwrite the file.  :force and

          # Write destination file with optional shebang.  Yield for content
          # if block given so templaters may render the source file.  If a
          # shebang is requested, replace the existing shebang or insert a
          # new one.

            dest.write render_file(source, file_options, &block)

          if file_options[:chmod]
            FileUtils.chmod(file_options[:chmod], destination)
          end

          # Optionally add file to subversion
          system("svn add #{destination}") if options[:svn]
        end

Checks if the source and the destination file are identical. If passed a block then the source file is a template that needs to first be evaluated before being compared to the destination.

          destination = IO.read(destination)

          template(relative_source, "#{relative_destination}/#{next_migration_string}_#{migration_file_name}.rb", template_options)

Generate a file for a Rails application using an ERuby template. Looks up and evaluates a template by name and writes the result.

The ERB template uses explicit trim mode to best control the proliferation of whitespace in generated code. <%- trims leading whitespace; -%> trims trailing whitespace including one newline.

A hash of template options may be passed as the last argument. The options accepted by the file are accepted as well as :assigns, a hash of variable bindings. Example:

  template 'foo', 'bar', :assigns => { :action => 'view' }

Template is implemented in terms of file. It calls file with a block which takes a file handle and returns its rendered contents.

# File railties/lib/rails_generator/commands.rb, line 276
        def template(relative_source, relative_destination, template_options = {})
          file(relative_source, relative_destination, template_options) do |file|
            # Evaluate any assignments in a temporary, throwaway binding.
            vars = template_options[:assigns] || {}
            b = binding
            vars.each { |k,v| eval "#{k} = vars[:#{k}] || vars['#{k}']", b }

            # Render the source file with the temporary binding.
            ERB.new(file.read, nil, '-').result(b)
          end
        end
