Executable (packed as a ruby gem) for finding TODO comments inside code Requires Ruby 1.9.* and above
If you use rbenv or RVM:
gem install what_now
Otherwise you might need
sudo gem install what_now
$ wnow
Will return all the todos in the following format inside files:
- TODO this is the text
Where 'this is the text' will be returned, together with the relative path and line number
The output is colored, but if redirected to a non TTY device, a simpler, colorless format will be used.
- --dir, -d: Specify the directory in which to search the TODO's. It can be an absolute path of anywhere in the system, or a relative path to the current directory.
- --ext, -e: Specify the extension of the files to consider. You can pass it with or without the dot (.rb or rb are both valid).
- --regex, -r: Specify the regular expression (Perl-like) that the file names must match.
- --ignorecase, -i: When passed, this options matches both the strings TODO and todo. By default, this options is deactivated.
