Rake tasks not included for gems
Reported by Josh Nichols | June 30th, 2008 @ 12:32 AM | in 2.x
I was working on converting a plugin to a gem which had a few Rake tasks. After packaging it as a gem, I noticed it didn't include the Rake tasks for it.
I tracked it down to railties/lib/tasks/rails.rb, and saw that it wasn't actually doing anything for gems.
I could see two ways of dealing with this:
Add a line to tasks/rails like:
Dir["#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/gems/*/tasks/**/*.rake"].sort.each { |ext| load ext }
Look for under tasks under the gem's lib, ie foo would look under vendor/gems/foo/lib/foo/tasks/**/*.rake. I imagine it'd look something like:
Rails.configuration.gems.each do |gem|
gem_dir = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'vendor', 'gems', gem.name)
Dir["#{gem_dir}/#{gem.lib || gem.name}/tasks/**/*.rake"].sort.each { |ext| load ext }
end

See the contributor guide.
Creating a feature request
Please don't. If you want a new feature in Rails, you'll have to pull up your sleeves and get busy yourself. Or convince someone else to do it. See the contributor guide on how to get going. But posting them here is just going to lead to ticket root.
Creating a bug report
When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.
Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to security@rubyonrails.org, do not use trac for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in trac is publicly available as soon as it is posted.
Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too".
