Run all rake tasks?

How can I run all rake tasks?

task :a do
    # stuff
end
task :b do
    # stuff
end
task :c do
    # stuff
end

task :all do
    # Run all other tasks?
end

I know I can just do

task :all => [:a, :b, :c] do
end

but if I add new task, I also need to add it to :all dependencies. I would like to avoid the need to do it manually since it seems like easy thing to forget.

Solution

  • Here's one way:

    namespace :hot_tasks do |hot_tasks_namespace|
  task :task1 do
    puts 1
  end
  task :task2 do
    puts 2
  end
  task :all do
    hot_tasks_namespace.tasks.each do |task|
      Rake::Task[task].invoke
    end
  end
end

    running it:

    # bundle exec rake hot_tasks:all
1
2
