Subject: [ruby-core:48074] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6548] Rake doesn't ignore arguments after --


Issue #6548 has been updated by rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas).


Here is my use case. I've developed some gems for testing client-side code, including oojs. I've created an example on how to use it even for non-Ruby/Rails applications.

Then I created a task like "rake oojs:spec -- --name=shopping_cart"

https://github.com/rosenfeld/oojs_assets_enabler

In the original oojs gem, there is actually a generator for it:

https://github.com/rosenfeld/oojs

rails g oojs:spec shopping_cart

For non-Ruby projects, I'd like to be able to do something similar using rake, but I would like to be able to call it like:

rake oojs:spec -- shopping_cart

But this is not possible. What is the expected way to provide some arguments to a rake task not using options?

I've created this issue first in GitHub before I realized that Rake is now part of stdlib:

https://github.com/jimweirich/rake/issues/115

I'll copy it here:

rake some_task -- some_arg

Raises an error after running some_task:

Don't know how to build task some_arg.
