[Rake] call a task of a namespace from an other task

ruby-talk

Hi all,

I try to call a task of a namespace from an other task !

Exemple:

ReleaseDirectory = File.join( "d:", "release" )

namespace :release do
    task :create do
        mkdir_p ReleaseDirectory, QUIET
    end
end

namespace :kernel do
    task :compile do
    end

    task :release => [ ??? ] do
    end
end

"???" What can I put ? I would like to use the task ":create" of the
namespace ":release". Is there a way to resolve my problem ?

Thanks

Ok, I found a solution but I don't know if it's a good solution.

I put the namespace :release in a variable.

Example:

releaseNs = namespace :release do
    task :create do
        mkdir_p ReleaseDirectory
    end
end

namespace :kernel do
    task :compile do
    end

    task :release => [ releaseNs[:create] ] do
    end
end

What do you think of this solution ?

Well, you're not strictly "calling" the task. You're making it a dependency.

Exemple:

ReleaseDirectory = File.join( "d:", "release" )

namespace :release do
    task :create do
        mkdir_p ReleaseDirectory, QUIET
    end
end

namespace :kernel do
    task :compile do
    end

    task :release => [ ??? ] do
    end
end

"???" What can I put ? I would like to use the task ":create" of the
namespace ":release". Is there a way to resolve my problem ?

   task :release => 'release:create' do

yes, sorry.

a dependency.

Do you think that my previous mail is a good solution ?
