"Import without source" deprecated?

[stmichael]

We have an acceptance test "import without source". The import config looks like this:

import 'Static objects' do
  to 'objects'

  after do
    target_database[:objects].insert(:name => 'a box')
    target_database[:objects].insert(:name => 'my cat')
  end
end

I think this is deprecated since we now have script blocks. You could easily rewrite this definition to:

script 'Static objects' do
  body do
    target_database[:objects].insert(:name => 'a box')
    target_database[:objects].insert(:name => 'my cat')
  end
end

This is even less code.

@senny do you agree with me?

[senny]

I agree.

I think we could even go one step further and drop the functionality for "#after" blocks. In the end, you can just write a script-block with a dependency on the import and you get the same benefits.

Yes, master Yoda ;-)

[senny]

let's deprecate the after block then and have the message say you should use a script block with a dependency.
