My rake task is not showing up in rake -T


I don't know wtf is going on but I just created a new Rails app and can't get any rake tasks to work or show up in $ rake -T

lib/tasks/hello.rake

namespace :hello do 
  desc "hello"
  task :you do 
    puts "hello"
  end
end

$ rake -T

it does not show up in there

$ rake hello:you

rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'hello:you' (see --tasks)

Solution

  • If you want a really complete list of all rake tasks, you need to run rake -T -A.
