I don't know wtf is going on but I just created a new Rails app and can't get any rake tasks to work or show up in $ rake -T
lib/tasks/hello.rake
namespace :hello do
desc "hello"
task :you do
puts "hello"
end
end
$ rake -T
it does not show up in there
$ rake hello:you
rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'hello:you' (see --tasks)

A common cause for Rake tasks failing to be detected, is an error in the Rakefile. The most common error is requiring a library that is in the development or test group of the Gemfile and therefore not available when deploying to production.
Rake can be downloaded and included in ruby projects as a ruby gem.
Rake is a software task management and build automation tool created by Jim Weirich. It allows the user to specify tasks and describe dependencies as well as to group tasks in a namespace. It is similar in to SCons and Make.
It could be that you've given the task the .rb
extension instead of .rake
If you want a really complete list of all rake tasks, you need to run
rake -T -A
.
I hope that helps.
