This is the main file for the Rake application. Normally it is referenced as a library via a require statement, but it can be distributed independently as an application.

Declare a set of files tasks to create the given directories on demand.
Example:
directory "testdata/doc"
# File lib/rake.rb, line 621 621: def directory(dir) 622: Rake.each_dir_parent(dir) do |d| 623: file_create d do |t| 624: mkdir_p t.name if ! File.exist?(t.name) 625: end 626: end 627: end
Example:
file "config.cfg" => ["config.template"] do open("config.cfg", "w") do |outfile| open("config.template") do |infile| while line = infile.gets outfile.puts line end end end end
# File lib/rake.rb, line 605 605: def file(args, &block) 606: Rake::FileTask.define_task(args, &block) 607: end
Import the partial Rakefiles fn. Imported files are loaded after the current file is completely loaded. This allows the import statement to appear anywhere in the importing file, and yet allowing the imported files to depend on objects defined in the importing file.
A common use of the import statement is to include files containing dependency declarations.
See also the —rakelibdir command line option.
Example:
import ".depend", "my_rules"
# File lib/rake.rb, line 692 692: def import(*fns) 693: fns.each do |fn| 694: Rake.application.add_import(fn) 695: end 696: end
Declare a task that performs its prerequisites in parallel. Multitasks does not guarantee that its prerequisites will execute in any given order (which is obvious when you think about it)
Example:
multitask :deploy => [:deploy_gem, :deploy_rdoc]
# File lib/rake.rb, line 636 636: def multitask(args, &block) 637: Rake::MultiTask.define_task(args, &block) 638: end
Create a new rake namespace and use it for evaluating the given block. Returns a NameSpace object that can be used to lookup tasks defined in the namespace.
E.g.
ns = namespace "nested" do task :run end task_run = ns[:run] # find :run in the given namespace.
# File lib/rake.rb, line 651 651: def namespace(name=nil, &block) 652: Rake.application.in_namespace(name, &block) 653: end
