Rake - Adding to default task

Question

I am using a third party gem that gives me the ability to execute some tests using the rake command:

rake jasminerice:run

Is it possible to include the task as part of default rake task? (i.e. when I run rake then rake jasminerice:run is added to the rest of my tests). This is required for CI integration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

In Rake, tasks can have dependencies. Generally, you can do this:

task :hello do
  puts "hello"
end

task :default => :hello

For your specific problem, you should be able to do this:

task :default => "jasminerice:run"
