I was following Derek Bailey's article from yesterday entitled "How to
Build Custom Rake Tasks; The Right Way"
<http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/derickbailey/archive/2010/07/26/how-to-
build-custom-rake-tasks-the-right-way.aspx> and tried to replicate some
of his code in IronRuby. Now I've run into a snag that I'm hoping
somebody can help with.
My .rb file looks like so:
require 'rake'
def foo(*args)
body = proc {
puts 'hello world'
}
Rake::Task.define_task(*args, body)
end
foo :bar
task :default => [:bar]
Pretty simple, right? Well, when I run it using rake, I get the
following error:
C:\Users\txg0\Desktop>rake -f test1.rb --trace
(in C:/Users/txg0/Desktop)
rake aborted!
syntax error, unexpected IDENTIFIER, expecting AMPERSAND

Anyone have any clues?
