Combining many rake tasks into one rake task

Question

Instead of running each rake task individually like this:

rake db:drop
rake db:create
rake db:migrate
rake db:load

I want to run one rake task

Answer 1

You can do it with dependencies on a task with no body.

desc 'This rebuilds development db'
task :rebuild_dev => ["db:drop", "db:create", "db:migrate", "db:load"]
