Extending the package task

Hi!
I have successfully extended the build task as suggested in the documentation:

build do
   puts("Do extra stuff")
end

However, when I try to do the same with the package task, it does not work:

package do
   puts("Custom packaging")  # never happens
end

I can't see any reason why it should not work, but maybe my understanding of buildr is incorrect.
I'm running version 1.47 of buildr.

Regards,
Magnus

That works!
Thank you Dieter.
However, it s a bit counter-intuitive for a beginner like me that package behaves differently from
build and clean.
Regards,
Magnus

Hi Magnus,

I think the issue is that 'build' is a function that returns the build task, whereas 'package' is a function that defines a package task based on its arguments. As you don't give arguments, it does not return a task.

Try the following. This references the package task directly.

task :package do
  puts("Custom packaging")
end

HTH,
Dieter
