I am trying to write a custom rake task for my app. But however simple my rake task is, rake -T still does not list it. Here''s my file in /lib/tasks called try.rake: desc "try rake" task :one do puts "task one" end and therefore when I run rake try.one I get the "Don''t know how to build task ''try,one''... Anything else need to be configured to get custom rake task to work? Please help. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
For creating rake tasks, you need to first create a namespace.The following
is an example of how to do what you want to do :
namespace :tasks do
desc "try rake"
task :one => :environment do
puts "task one"
end
end
Once you have this in your try.rake file in /lib/tasks
when you do a rake -T , it will show you your custom rake tasks in the
following way :
rake tasks:one
and that is how you need to call it to execute the rake task as well.
I hope that helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhruva Sagar.

Kevin,> /lib/tasks called try.rake: > > desc "try rake" > task :one do > puts "task one" > endAssuming the file is named "#{RAILS_ROOT}/lib/tasks/try.rake", all this is fine. You don''t need to use namespaces if you don''t want to.> Don''t know how to build task ''try,one''You should have a task named "one" showing up in the -T list, ''try'' will not be part of the task name unless you specify a namespace.
