$Id: README.txt,v 1.1.2.19 2010/09/09 06:43:06 dmitrig01 Exp $ Drush make ---------- Drush make is an extension to drush that can create a ready-to-use drupal site, pulling sources from various locations. It does this by parsing a flat text file (similar to a drupal `.info` file) and downloading the sources it describes. In practical terms, this means that it is possible to distribute a complicated Drupal distribution as a single text file. Among drush make's capabilities are: - Downloading Drupal core, as well as contrib modules from drupal.org. - Checking code out from CVS, SVN, git, and bzr repositories. - Getting plain `.tar.gz` and `.zip` files (particularly useful for libraries that can not be distributed directly with drupal core or modules). - Fetching and applying patches. - Fetching modules, themes, and installation profiles, but also external libraries. Usage ----- The `drush make` command can be executed from a path within a Drupal codebase or independent of any Drupal sites entirely. See the examples below for instances where `drush make` can be used within an existing Drupal site. drush make [-options] [filename.make] [build path] ### Options --contrib-destination=path Specify a path under which modules and themes should be placed. Defaults to sites/all. --force-complete Force a complete build even if errors occur. --md5 Output an md5 hash of the current build after completion. --no-clean Leave temporary build directories in place instead of cleaning up after completion. --no-core Do not require a Drupal core project to be specified. --no-patch-txt Do not write a PATCHES.txt file in the directory of each patched project. --prepare-install Prepare the built site for installation. Generate a properly permissioned settings.php and files directory. --tar Generate a tar archive of the build. The output filename will be [build path].tar.gz. --test Run a temporary test build and clean up. --translations=languages Retrieve translations for the specified comma-separated list of language(s) if available for all projects. --working-copy Where possible, retrieve a working copy of projects from their respective repositories. ### Examples 1. Build a Drupal site at `example/` including Drupal core and any projects defined in the makefile: drush make example.make example 2. Build a tarball of the platform above as `example.tar.gz`: drush make --tar example.make example 3. Build an installation profile within an existing Drupal site: drush make --no-core --contrib-destination=. installprofile.make The `.make` file format ----------------------- Each makefile is a plain text file that adheres to the Drupal `.info` file syntax. See the included `example.make` for an example of a working makefile. ### Core version The make file always begins by specifying the core version of Drupal for which each package must be compatible. Example: core = 6.x ### Projects An array of the projects to be retrieved. Each project name can be specified as a single string value. If further options need to be provided for a project, the project should be specified as the key. **Project with no further options:** projects[] = drupal **Project using options (see below):** projects[drupal][version] = 6.15 Do not use both types of declarations for a single project in your makefile. ### Project options - `version` Specifies the version of the project to retrieve. This can be as loose as the major branch number or as specific as a particular point release. projects[views][version] = 3 projects[views][version] = 2.8 projects[views][version] = 3.0-alpha2 ; Shorthand syntax for versions if no other options are to be specified projects[views] = 3.0-alpha2 - `patch` One ore more patches to apply to this project. An array of URLs from which each patch should be retrieved. projects[adminrole][patch][] = "http://drupal.org/files/issues/adminrole_exceptions.patch" - `subdir` Place a project within a subdirectory of the `--contrib-destination` specified. In the example below, `cck` will be placed in `sites/all/modules/contrib` instead of the default `sites/all/modules`. projects[cck][subdir] = "contrib" - `location` URL of an alternate project update XML server to use. Allows project XML data to be retrieved from sites other than `updates.drupal.org`. projects[tao][location] = "http://code.developmentseed.com/fserver" - `type` The project type. Must be provided if an update XML source is not specified and/or using version control or direct retrieval for a project. May be one of the following values: core, module, profile, theme. projects[mytheme][type] = "theme" - `directory_name` Provide an alternative directory name for this project. By default, the project name is used. projects[mytheme][directory_name] = "yourtheme" - `l10n_path` Specific URL (can include tokens) to a translation. Allows translations to be retrieved from l10n servers other than `localize.drupal.org`. projects[mytheme][l10n_path] = "http://myl10nserver.com/files/translations/%project-%core-%version-%language.po" - `l10n_url` URL to an l10n server XML info file. Allows translations to be retrieved from l10n servers other than `localize.drupal.org`. projects[mytheme][l10n_url] = "http://myl10nserver.com/l10n_server.xml" ### Project download options Use an alternative download method instead of retrieval through update XML. The following methods are available: - `download[type][get]` Retrieve a project as a direct download. Options: `url` - the URL of the file. Required. - `download[type][post]` Retrieve a project as a direct download using an HTTP POST request. Options: `url` - the URL of the file. Required. `post_data` - The post data to be submitted with the request. Should be a valid URL query string. Required. `file_type` - A file type extension to use for the retrieved file. Optional. projects[mytheme][download][type] = "post" projects[mytheme][download][url] = "http://example.com/download/mytheme" projects[mytheme][download][post_data] = "format=zip&version=1.0" - `download[type][bzr]` Use a bazaar repository as the source for this project. Options: `url` - the URL of the repository. Required. - `download[type][cvs]` Use a CVS repository as the source for this project. Options: `date` - use the latest revision no later than specified date. See the CVS man page for more about how to use the date flag. `root` - the CVS repository to use for this project. Optional. If unspecified, the `CVSROOT` environment value will first be used and finally Drupal contrib CVS is used as a last resort fallback. `module` - the CVS module to retrieve. Required. `revision` - a specific tag or revision to check out. Optional. projects[mytheme][download][type] = "cvs" projects[mytheme][download][module] = "mytheme" - `download[type][git]` Use a git repository as the source for this project. Options: `url` - the URL of the repository. Required. `branch` - the branch to be checked out. Optional. `revision` - a specific revision identified by commit to check out. Optional. `tag` - the tag to be checked out. Optional. projects[mytheme][download][type] = "git" projects[mytheme][download][url] = "git://github.com/jane_doe/mytheme.git" - `download[type][svn]` Use an SVN repository as the source for this project. Options: `url` - the URL of the repository. Required. `username` - the username to use when retrieving an SVN project as a working copy or from a private repository. Optional. `password` - the password to use when retrieving an SVN project as a working copy or from a private repository. Optional. projects[mytheme][download][type] = "svn" projects[mytheme][download][url] = "http://example.com/svnrepo/cool-theme/" ### Libraries An array of non-Drupal-specific libraries to be retrieved (e.g. js, PHP or other Drupal-agnostic components). Each library should be specified as the key of an array of options in the libraries array. **Example:** libraries[jquery_ui][download][type] = "get" libraries[jquery_ui][download][url] = "http://jquery- ui.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui-1.6.zip" ### Library options Libraries share the `download`, `destination` and `directory_name` options with projects. Additionally, they may specify a destination: - `destination` The target path to which this library should be moved. The path is relative to that specified by the `--contrib-destination` option. By default, libraries are placed in the `libraries` directory. libraries[jquery_ui][destination] = "modules/contrib/jquery_ui ### Includes An array of makefiles to include. Each include may be a local path or a direct URL to the makefile. Includes are appended in order with the source makefile appended last, allowing latter makefiles to override the keys/values of former makefiles. **Example:** includes[example] = "example.make" includes[remote] = "http://www.example.com/remote.make" Recursion --------- If a project that is part of a build contains a `.make` itself, drush make will automatically parse it and recurse into a derivative build. For example, a full build tree may look something like this: drush make distro.make distro distro.make FOUND - Drupal core - Foo bar install profile + foobar.make FOUND - CCK - Token - Module x + x.make FOUND - External library x.js - Views - etc. Recursion can be used to nest an install profile build in a Drupal site, easily build multiple install profiles on the same site, fetch library dependencies for a given module, or bundle a set of module and its dependencies together. **Build a full Drupal site with the Managing News install profile:** core = 6.x projects[] = drupal projects[] = managingnews Testing ------- Drush make also comes with testing capabilities, designed to test drush make itself. Writing a new test is extremely simple. The process is as follows: 1. Figure out what you want to test. Write a makefile that will test this out. You can refer to existing test makefiles for examples. 2. Drush make your makefile, and use the --md5 option. You may also use other options, but be sure to take note of which ones for step 4. 3. Verify that the result you got was in fact what you expected. If so, continue. If not, tweak it and re-run step 2 until it's what you expected. 4. Using the md5 hash that was spit out from step 2, make a new entry in the tests array in drush_make.test.inc, following the example below. 'machine-readable-name' => array( 'name' => 'Human readable name', 'makefile' => 'tests/yourtest.make', 'messages' => array( 'Build hash: f68e6510-your-hash-e04fbb4ed', ), 'options' => array('any' => TRUE, 'other' => TRUE, 'options' => TRUE), ), 5. Test! Run drush make-test machine-readable-name to see if the test passes. You can check for any messages you want in the message array, but the most basic tests would just check the build hash. Generate -------- Drush make has a primitive makefile generation capability. To use it, simply change your directory to the Drupal installation from which you would like to generate the file, and run the following command: `drush generate makefile /path/to/make-file.make` This will generate a basic makefile. If you have code from other repositories, the makefile will not complete - you'll have to fill in some information before it is fully functional.
