How to run rake tasks from console?

Question

I want to invoke my rake task from console. Is it doable? if yes, how to do so?

I tried this on console:

require \         


        

Answer 1

Running your Rake tasks requires two steps:

1. Loading Rake
2. Loading your Rake tasks

You are missing the second step.

Normally this is done in the Rakefile, but you have to do it manually here:

require 'rake'
Rails.application.load_tasks # <-- MISSING LINE
Rake::Task['my_task'].invoke
