Hi!
I was recently using tasks with arguments and have noticed issue with
docs. First, there is missing :needs key in example. Second - I'm
using
rake 0.8.3 and enclosing arguments names into array in task definition
results with error when task is run (only when there is dependency on
this task).
In doc there is example:
task :name, [:first_name, :last_name] => [:pre_name] do |t, args|
args.with_defaults(:first_name => "John", :last_name => "Dough")
puts "First name is #{args.first_name}"
puts "Last name is #{args.last_name}"
end
It is missng :needs key,
Actually no, it is correct as it stands. The 0.8.3 version of rake
does not need the :needs key (it will accept it, but the [:args] =>
[:prereqs] syntax is preferred. See below for an example.
Double check to make sure you are running version 0.8.3. Perhaps you
have two versions installed and are not running the one you expect.
Thanks for the feedback.
