[PATCH] The default rake task should be set in Rakefile not misc.rake

Reported by Tom Ward | March 5th, 2010 @ 02:06 PM | in 3.0.2

By specifying the default rake task (task :default => :test) in misc.rake, applications have no easy way to override it. Specifying a default in the application Rakefile will cause both tasks to run, not the new default.

To fix this annoyance, the default should be part of the generated Rakefile where it can be changed at will.

Wouldn't this break existing applications?

I'm having an issue with this, as well. I would like to override default to run parallel_tests instead of the default tests.

I see that this is tagged 3.0.2 but 3.0.3 is already released. Any word on if this will be done?

Thanks,
Ken
