[Rake-devel] Add path ( Pathname to file tasks)

[Dominic Sisneros]

I would like to add path to FileTask to make it easier to create file tasks

file 'test.txt' do |t|
  t.path.open('w') do |file|
      file.puts "It works"
end
end

as opposed to
file 'test.txt' do |t|
   File.open( t.name) do |file| ...


   class FileTask < Task

+    attr_reader :path
+
+    def initialize(*args)
+      super
+      @path = Pathname.new(name)
+    end
+
+


The patch also changes directory to use Pathname.ascend so pathname objects
can be used.  It passes all tests

root = Pathname.getwd


tmp = root + 'tmp'

directory tmp
