rake tasks missing description

Reported by Pawel Barcik | February 13th, 2011 @ 04:25 PM

According to the rails guides page:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html

When you run :

rake --tasks --describe

or

rake --tasks

You should be able to see the db:test group of rake tasks as described in this paragraph "3.1.1 Rake Tasks for Preparing your Application for Testing"
but they dont appear.

    rake --tasks does not show the tasks which do not have descriptions provided using the desc command if I remember right.

    • State changed from “new” to “invalid”
    • Importance changed from “” to “Low”

    Rake doesn't show tasks without descriptions by default.

    From http://rake.rubyforge.org/files/doc/rakefile_rdoc.html:

    Only tasks with descriptions will be displayed with the "-T" switch. Use "-P" (or "—prereqs") to get a list of all tasks and their prerequisites.

    So, if you want to see tasks without descriptions, use -P. I'm making this one as invalid since this is intended behavior.

    Thanks for reporting! :)

    Good to know about the -P switch :)
