You can pass a Guardfile content or a Guardfile location progammatically when calling Guard.setup. Available options are as follow:

  • :guardfile - The path to a valid Guardfile.
  • :guardfile_contents - A string representing the content of a valid Guardfile.

Remember, without any options given, Guard will look for a Guardfile in your current directory and if it does not find one, it will look for it in your $HOME directory.

Guard.run_all can be used to run all Guard plugins. You can pass a scope to it with the :plugins / :plugin or :groups / :group options. Run Guard plugins, e.g. from a Rakefile:

require 'guard'
require 'guard/commander' # needed because of https://github.com/guard/guard/issues/793

# You can omit the call to Guard.setup, Guard.run_all will call Guard.setup
# under the hood if Guard has not been setuped yet
Guard.run_all group: :features

# or with multiple groups
Guard.run_all groups: [:features, :documentation]

Specify a custom Guardfile path:

require 'guard'
require 'guard/commander' # needed because of https://github.com/guard/guard/issues/793

Guard.setup(guardfile: '/path/to/Guardfile')

Start Guard and with a Guardfile as a string:

require 'guard'
require 'guard/commander' # needed because of https://github.com/guard/guard/issues/793

guardfile = <<-EOF
  guard 'rspec' do
    watch(%r{^spec/.+_spec\.rb$})
  end
EOF

# You can omit the call to Guard.setup, Guard.start will call Guard.setup
# under the hood if Guard has not been setuped yet
Guard.start(guardfile_contents: guardfile)
