Rake tasks in other files
- by Arcath
Im trying to use rake in a project, and if I put everything into Rakefile it will be huge and hard to read/find things, so I tried to stick each namesapce in its own file in lib/rake, i added this to the top of my rake file:
Dir['#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/lib/rake/*.rake'].map { |f| require f }
it loads the file no problem, but doesn't have the tasks. I only have one .rake file as a test for now called "servers.rake" and it looks like this:
namespace :server do
task :test do
puts "test"
end
end
so when I run rake server:test id expect to see one line appear saying "test", instead I get
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'server:test'
at first I thought my codes wrong but if I copy the contents of lib/rake/servers.rake into Rakefile it works fine.
How do I get rake tasks to work that are in another file?
