fixmefinder.rb

Posted by Jorge Bernal April 11, 2006

Here’s some code if anyone might find it interesting. I usually put FIXME comments in my code. As much usually I forgot abut them ;P

So here’s FixmeFinder. A ruby class to find lines which contain the string “FIXME” in a bunch of files. Sounds silly but if it’s useful to me, it may be for someone else.

I also use a rake task to find fixmes:

desc "Find FIXMEs in the code"
task :fixme do
  patterns = %w[
    lib/**/*.rb
    schema/**/*.sqlr
  ]
  FixmeFinder.new(patterns).find
end

It outputs something like:

$ rake fixme
schema/actions.sqlr:448: Check this type
schema/actions.sqlr:450: Check this type

    Why not use grep?

    Yep, a “grep -rn FIXME *” can do the job, but it’s so nice to write Ruby… ;)
