instance method
file
Ruby on Rails 2.3.18
Since v2.2.3 Last seen in v2.3.18Available in: v2.2.3 v2.3.18
Signature
file(relative_source, relative_destination, file_options = {}, &block)
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.
