Overview
######################################################################### A Task is the basic unit of work in a Rakefile. Tasks have associated actions (possibly more than one) and a list of prerequisites. When invoked, a task will first ensure that all of its prerequisites have an opportunity to run and then it will execute its own actions.
Tasks are not usually created directly using the new method, but rather use the file and task convenience methods.

Class Method Details
+ (Object) [](task_name)
Return a task with the given name. If the task is not currently known, try to synthesize one from the defined rules. If no rules are found, but an existing file matches the task name, assume it is a file task with no dependencies or actions.
297 298 299 |
# File 'lib/rake/task.rb', line 297 def [](task_name) Rake.application[task_name] end |
+ (Object) clear
Clear the task list. This cause rake to immediately forget all the tasks that have been assigned. (Normally used in the unit tests.)

+ (Object) create_rule(*args, &block)

+ (Object) define_task(*args, &block)
Define a task given args and an option block. If a rule with the given name already exists, the prerequisites and actions are added to the existing task. Returns the defined task.

+ (Object) scope_name(scope, task_name)
Apply the scope to the task name according to the rules for this kind of task. Generic tasks will accept the scope as part of the name.

TRUE if the task name is already defined.
