If you just need to perform a simple script like creating a file, you can simply use a Ruby script without creating a rake task. # file origin.rb target = “target.rb” content = <<-RUBY puts “I’m the target!” RUBY File.open(target, “w+”) do |f| f.write(content) end And you can execute the file with $ ruby origin.rb
Rake arguments are painful to pass around, unfortunately (and db:seed doesn’t pass its arguments through, regardless). Your best bet is to use environment variables to pass your extra args through: rake db:seed minimal=yes and unless ENV[“minimal”] # do stuff etc
You can either put your tasks into rakelib/ folder which rake loads by default or add a specific folder in your Rakefile via: Rake.add_rakelib ‘lib/tasks’
It is an alternative to Makefile with Ruby syntax.
If by described you mean defined, rake -W is your friend. Example: $ rake -W db:create => rake db:create /path/to/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.1.11/lib/active_record/railties/databases.rake:39:in `block in <top (required)>’ Just found this out today 🙂
