  yeah,
  I looked at this before.
  but the problem seems to be that there is no way to load this information without loading up the Rails Environment.

  And, understandably, we don't want to load up the environment every time we run a rake any rake task...

  So, only files in vendor/plugins and lib/tasks get loaded up,

  therefore the hack is to place a file in you lib/tasks which just loads your extra rake files.

  eg,
  

  # lib/tasks/custom_plugin_tasks.rake
  Dir.glob("/../../vendor/new_folder/*/tasks/.rake").each do |rake_file|
    require rake_file
  end
  

  ... didnt test this

  • Tag set to “engines, plugins, rake”
  • Title changed from “rake tasks at different plugin path” to “rake tasks at different plugin path disappearing after rails update”

  It should be:

  Dir.glob(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../vendor/new_folder/**/tasks/*.rake").each do |rake_file|
    require rake_file
  end
  

  but this is not working for me:

  rake aborted!
  no such file to load -- FILENAME
  

  The File exists. Strange. But maybe this is only a local problem at my machine. What could this be? Anyone any clues?

  Any new updates on this? I used Rails 2.1.2 for along time now with engines plugin and all rake tasks from my special folders worked fine. Now i updated my app to Rails 2.3.5 and all the rake tasks disappeared.

  I've got it!

  It should be import instead of require.
  So, the rake file for including custom rakefiles in folders different from vendor/plugins/ should look like:

  # RAILS_ROOT/lib/tasks/custom_plugins_tasks.rake
  Dir.glob(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../vendor/new_folder/**/tasks/*.rake").each do |rake_file|
    import rake_file
  end

  I think this can be marked as wontfix. It's a quite minor bug that very few people will stumble upon, and those who does can fix it themselves as described above.
