Rails - Aug 2006 - Rake peculiarity after trying to freeze edge while offline

Hi,

I''m writing this mail before I submit an inappropriate ticket against 
Rails 1.1.6. This could be answered with "Well, don''t do that
then!",
but I encountered something peculiar.

In a Rails application directory, *without* a network connection, I did
    $ rake rails:freeze:edge
which results in the following commands executed:
    rm -rf vendor/rails
    mkdir -p vendor/rails
after which svn export from
"http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk"
is executed.

Because of no network connection, that obviously fails with:
    svn: PROPFIND of ''/svn/rails'': Could not resolve hostname 
`dev.rubyonrails.org''...
and rake is aborted.

Problem: after that every subsequent
    $ rake
fails with the error:
    rake aborted!
    no such file to load -- 
/home/jschulen/Development/testdefect/config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer
and there is no way (that I could find) to repair this situation.

The strange thing is that this file wasn''t available in the beginning, 
but it wasn''t a problem then. The only difference is that in the 
beginning vendor/rails/ was not present, but after the first rake task 
it is created.

Possible solution: just like a pre-check in the rake task is done 
whether svn is present, the rake task could check whether 
"http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk" is accessible. That
avoids
deletion of directories without having it filled by the task.

Is this worth submitting a ticket, or is this something that should stay 
as it is?

Kind regards,

Jochem
