Basically, Rake::TaskArguments is checking for cc being defined as
argument for a Task, and then fallback to ENV looking for it:
def lookup(name)
if @hash.has_key?(name)
@hash[name]
elsif ENV.has_key?(name.to_s)
ENV[name.to_s]
elsif ENV.has_key?(name.to_s.upcase)
ENV[name.to_s.upcase]
elsif @parent
@parent.lookup(name)
end
end
So, let's say I have defined a task named foo, with a named argument
called cc and will default to ENV['CC'] if no CC is provided with the
task (rake foo[something-for-cc]
I believe that fallback on ENV is a non documented behavior of task arguments?
