You can run Rake tasks from your shell by running:
rake task_name
To run from from Ruby (e.g., in the Rails console or another Rake task):
Rake::Task['task_name'].invoke
To run multiple tasks in the same namespace with a single task, create the following new task in your namespace:
task :runall => [:iqmedier, :euroads, :mikkelsen, :orville] do
# This will run after all those tasks have run
end
Rake::Task['reklamer:orville'].invoke
or
Rake::Task['reklamer:orville'].invoke(args)
Sometimes Your rake tasks doesn't get loaded in console, In that case you can try the following commands
require "rake"
YourApp::Application.load_tasks
Rake::Task["Namespace:task"].invoke
Have you tried rake reklamer:iqmedier ?
My custom rake tasks are in the lib directory, not in lib/tasks. Not sure if that matters.
If you aren't sure how to run a rake task, first find out first what tasks you have and it will also list the commands to run the tasks.
Run rake --tasks on the terminal.
It will list the tasks like the following:
rake gobble:dev:prime
rake gobble:dev:reset_number_of_kits
rake gobble:dev:scrub_prod_data
You can then run your task with: rake gobble:dev:prime as listed.
As the and described
you have to add
require 'rake'
Rake::Task.clear
YourAppName::Application.load_tasks
on the top of the file.
YourAppName comes from config/applicaion.rb, which is defined as a namespace, such as:
module YourAppName
class Application < Rails::Application
end
end
and then you can use
Rake::Task["task_name"].invoke
to invoke your task.
In rails 4.2 the above methods didn't work.
- Go to the Terminal.
- Change the directory to the location where your rake file is present.
- run rake task_name.
- In the above case, run rake iqmedier - will run only iqmedir task.
- run rake euroads - will run only the euroads task.
To Run all the tasks in that file assign the following inside the same file and run rake all
task :all => [:iqmedier, :euroads, :mikkelsen, :orville ] do #This will print all the tasks o/p on the screen end
