Rake question: How to call a task from a different namespace

ruby-talk
1

How does one call from inside a namespace, a task from another namespace?

namespace :foo do
   task :a do
     puts "Hello from task a!"
   end
end

namespace :bar do
   task :b do
  Rake::Task[:foo][:a] # How to call foo:a ???
   end
end

Thanks!

Rake::Task['foo:a'].invoke

#invoke will only run a task once. If you want to force it to run (minus any prerequisites) call #execute.
