Overview

######################################################################### A Task is the basic unit of work in a Rakefile. Tasks have associated actions (possibly more than one) and a list of prerequisites. When invoked, a task will first ensure that all of its prerequisites have an opportunity to run and then it will execute its own actions.

Tasks are not usually created directly using the new method, but rather use the file and task convenience methods.

Class Method Details

.[](task_name) ⇒ Object

Return a task with the given name. If the task is not currently known, try to synthesize one from the defined rules. If no rules are found, but an existing file matches the task name, assume it is a file task with no dependencies or actions.



320
321
322
 
# File 'lib/rake/task.rb', line 320

def [](task_name)
  Rake.application[task_name]
end

.clear ⇒ Object

Clear the task list. This cause rake to immediately forget all the tasks that have been assigned. (Normally used in the unit tests.)



307
308
309
 
# File 'lib/rake/task.rb', line 307

def clear
  Rake.application.clear
end

.create_rule(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Define a rule for synthesizing tasks.



337
338
339
 
# File 'lib/rake/task.rb', line 337

def create_rule(*args, &block)
  Rake.application.create_rule(*args, &block)
end

.define_task(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Define a task given args and an option block. If a rule with the given name already exists, the prerequisites and actions are added to the existing task. Returns the defined task.



332
333
334
 
# File 'lib/rake/task.rb', line 332

def define_task(*args, &block)
  Rake.application.define_task(self, *args, &block)
end

.scope_name(scope, task_name) ⇒ Object

Apply the scope to the task name according to the rules for this kind of task. Generic tasks will accept the scope as part of the name.



344
345
346
 
# File 'lib/rake/task.rb', line 344

def scope_name(scope, task_name)
  (scope + [task_name]).join(':')
end

.task_defined?(task_name) ⇒ Boolean

TRUE if the task name is already defined.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
