NAME

Chronicle::Plugin::PreBuild - Execute commands before building the blog

DESCRIPTION

This module exists to provide compatibility with previous releases of chronicle, which allowed the user to specify commands to be executed prior to the blog generation.

If your configuration file defines a command to before building your blog this module will ensure it is executed.

For example you might write this in your configuration file:

pre-build = rsync -vazr user@remote::comments/ comments/

Multiple commands may be defined, and they will be executed in the order listed.

METHODS

Now follows documentation on the available methods.

on_initiate

The on_initiate method is automatically invoked just before any on_generate methods which might be present.

This method merely looks for defined pre-build commands, and if any are encountered they are executed via system.

_order

We ensure that this plugin is invoked last by setting a priority of 0, which is lower than the default supported by Module::Pluggable::Ordered.

This method is present such that Module::Pluggable::Ordered can order our plugins.
