I've got a plugin that is a bit heavy-weight. (Bullet, configured with Growl notifications.) I'd like to not enable it if I'm just running a rake task or a generator, since it's not useful in those situations. Is there any way to tell if that's the case?

Rake is a popular task runner for Ruby and Rails applications. For example, Rails provides the predefined Rake tasks for creating databases, running migrations, and performing tests. You can also create custom tasks to automate specific actions - run code analysis tools, backup databases, and so on.
rake extension and are placed in Rails. root/lib/tasks . You can create these custom rake tasks with the bin/rails generate task command. If your need to interact with your application models, perform database queries and so on, your task should depend on the environment task, which will load your application code.
Rake is a Domain Specific Language (DSL), which means you can only use it for things related to Ruby. Rake allows one to write tasks in the Ruby language and execute them on the command line.
It's as simple as that:
if $rails_rake_task puts 'Guess what, I`m running from Rake' else puts 'No; this is not a Rake task' end Instead of $rails_rake_task, use:
File.basename($0) == 'rake' I like NickMervin's answer better, because it does not depend on the internal implementation of Rake (e.g. on Rake's global variable).
This is even better - no regexp needed
File.split($0).last == 'rake' File.split() is needed, because somebody could start rake with it's full path, e.g.:
/usr/local/bin/rake taskname If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
