Rake Tasks 101

in Ruby added by admin, on 10/6/2010 framework oo programming rake ruby on rails

I’ve been working with Rake quite a bit on my current project so I thought I’d share some beginner tips. Before I go into Rake, what is it? Rake is a Ruby-based build program. Ruby on Rails uses Rake quite a bit in it’s process. If you’ve worked on a Rails project you’ll used one, some or all of the following: rake db:create, rake gems:unpack, rake db:migrate, and rake test. Now that’s not all of Rail’s Rake tasks, just some common ones.
