Creating a 'test' deployer inline with sprinkle script

[dekz]

It doesn't seem to be possible to monkey patch or declare new classes inline to the sprinkle script.

Here is a gist with a reproducible file.

A work around for me is to use a script which programatically executes Sprinkle, similar to the way ./bin/sprinkle does:

require 'sprinkle'

module Sprinkle
  module Actors
    class Test < Dummy
    end
  end
end

powder = './install.rb'
Sprinkle::Script.sprinkle File.read(powder), powder

What are your thoughts on this situation? Is there any other way to do this?

Did you try adding :: to all the classes to make sure you're getting to the top scope:

module ::Sprinkle
  module Actors
    class Test < Dummy
    end
  end
end

That seems to fix it, cheers Josh. It also works fine when required.

The scope of everything is different when Sprinkle is reading the file itself... so if you truly want the top-level class you have to make sure you add ::... otherwise you're just trying to access Sprinkle inside of another smaller scope - where no Sprinkle exists.
