Hi Everyone, I just need some further help clarifying a custom rake task I''m building and the logistics of how it should be working. I''ve created a custom rake task in libs/tasks called scraper.rake which so far just contains the following: desc "This task will parse data from ncaa.org and upload the data to our db" task :scraper => :environment do # code goes
