For creating rake tasks, you need to first create a namespace.The following
is an example of how to do what you want to do :

namespace :tasks do
    desc "try rake"
    task :one => :environment do
    puts "task one"
    end
end

Once you have this in your try.rake file in /lib/tasks

when you do a rake -T , it will show you your custom rake tasks in the
following way :

rake tasks:one

and that is how you need to call it to execute the rake task as well.

I hope that helps.

Thanks & Regards,
Dhruva Sagar.
