Robert, 1) The same deprecation warnings probably happen when you just run "rails c" or "rails s", right? If so, those are just general deprecation warnings that are happening when you boot up the app. Today, you can ignore them (hence, warning). In the long run, you'll want to fix those as you upgrade gems and refactor code.
2) Custom rake tasks (defined in your app) should have a description above them. You actually put the description on its own line above the line that starts with the word "task" (slightly confusing). See the section "Describing Your Tasks" here http://jasonseifer.com/2010/04/06/rake-tutorial You'll notice that desc comes on its own line before the task line. If you fail to put that description in, your Rake task will still run, but it won't show up in the rake -T output. Finally, you probably almost certainly don't want to be running RAILS_ENV="production" if you are developing locally on your own machine. And learn to use a debugger-- I recommend byebug if you're using Ruby 2.0 or above, and put "byebug" at the top of your rake task. Then just run your rask task and verify that you fall into the debugger. (I'm telling you this as a sanity check methodology because you are trying to verify that you know how to run the task) Hope that helps. -Jason On Nov 18, 2014, at 1:31 PM, Robert Fitzpatrick <rob...@webtent.org> wrote: > I am new to ruby and maintaining an existing web application.
