Answer 1

You create a new file in lib/tasks like lib/tasks/your_task.rake.

You add a new task to that file:

namespace :my_app do
  desc "a new task to be executed"
  task :my_task do
    puts "hello rake"
  end
end

This would be called like rake my_app:my_task

Update

The task generator was added in Rails 3.2.0

Answer 2

Haven't found the reason for this question why rails generating error. So i have done bit searching somewhere else and found this. May this help. Use this instead -

      bundle exec rails g task permission my_task1 my_task2

Rails is not able to find task so this is a work around to get you going.
