Hi Leonardo
I think you're spot on with your answers. It's exactly what I tried to
do (in that order, too ;-)
The problem is that the task simply doesnt get executed when I try
running it from the controller:
If I do s.th. like this in my controller:
require 'rake'
Rake::Task["doc:app"]
--> the app runs without error but the rake task doesn't get executed
however if I use a random 'task' name:
require 'rake'
Rake::Task["foo:bar"]
-->Error: Don't know how to build task 'foo:bar'
So it does seem like my code gets evaluated but the rake task is just
not executed. Am I missing something like an explicit "run task"
command?!
The "system call" approach produces similar behavior:
If I add this line in my controller:
system('dir > test.txt')
--> works fine and places the test.txt file in my rails base directory
however if I add:
system('rake doc:app')
--> my app executes but nothing happens (no docs are generated)
If I run "rake doc:app" from the command line it works as expected ...
What is my problem here?!
I'm confused...
