def block in rake task

Question

I got undefined local variable or method \'address_geo\' for main:Object with the following rake task. What\'s the problem with it?

include Geokit::         


        

Answer 1

You can use a Proc to get the same effect without having a global method declaration. e.g.,

include Geokit::Geocoders

namespace :geocode do
  desc "Geocode to get latitude, longitude and address"
  task :all => :environment do

    address_geo = Proc.new do
      arr = []
      arr << address if @spot.address
      arr << city if @spot.city
      arr << country if @spot.country
      arr.reject{|y|y==""}.join(", ")
    end
    @spot = Spot.find(:first)
    if @spot.latitude.blank? && !@spot.address.blank?
      puts address_geo.call
    end
  end
end
