Rails Assets Coverage

The purpose of this package is to find which assets are used by a Rails app. This project was initially intended as a proof of concept for a future ruby gem, but it became a perfectly working perl package published on CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/~kupta/Rails-Assets-0.02/

Demos

If you don't have cpanminus installed and you want to run some demos, please refer to the demos branch.

Usage

  $ [VERBOSE=1|OUTPUT=1|] perl -Ilib scripts/rails_assets.pl [RAILS_ROOT|.]

Options:

RAILS_ROOT arg is the path to rails application you want to analyze.
with VERBOSE env var the script will print on STDOUT the result of the parsing activity.
with OUTPUT env var the script will generate an assets_status.yml report inside your RAILS_ROOT.

Setup

For a proper usage you should install cpanminus and Module::Builder perl module:

  $ sudo apt install cpanminus
  $ sudo cpanm -i Module::Builder
  $ perl Build.PL
  $ ./Build installdeps
  $ ./Build test
  $ ./Build install

Compile a demo:

  $ pp -o demo/rails_assets_ubuntu scripts/rails_assets.pl
