Help creating symlinks

[cesarcoatl]

I am working on a formula for my own Tap, but I am struggling with creating symlinks for some files.

This is my scenario, two files have the .sh extension, and one does not.

From the docs on install_symlink I do see that I can pass a Hash, but I am not well versed in Ruby, and I have not seen something I can use as example on all formulae.

Taking inspiration from pyenv.rb:

    %w[pyenv-install pyenv-uninstall python-build].each do |cmd|
      bin.install_symlink "#{prefix}/plugins/python-build/bin/#{cmd}"
    end

Taking pyenv.rb as inspiration:

%w[file_1.sh file_2.sh file_3].each do |cmd|
  bin.install_symlink ...

As expected, file_3 (with no extension) creates the symlink as expected, but I would like to know how to create a symlink without the extension.

Thanks.

You can use the fat arrow here, so if you wanted foo to point to libexec/foo.sh then you could say:

bin.install_symlink "#{libexec}/foo.sh" => "foo"

I see!

That created a symlink inside the bin folder for the formula which then was symlinked from to /usr/local/bin.

Thanks, @jonchang!

For anyone interested, this is my final solution:

      %w[foo.sh bar.sh baz].each do |cmd|
        bin.install_symlink "#{prefix}/#{cmd}" => "#{cmd.gsub(".sh", "")}"
      end
