Running a script from a rake task?

Sean Hussey

Hi everyone,

I have 2 scripts (dbload.rb and import_people.rb) that I want to
include in a rake task. How can I run an external script in a rake
task? Do I have to shell out to do it? Or should I just make those
scripts rake tasks? For this dev environment, that might not be a bad
thing.

task :cleandb => [:db_schema_import] do
# Run script/dbload.rb
# Run script/import_people.rb
end

This is in a Rails environment, but I don't think it's a Rails
specific question, so I'm posting here.

Thank you!

Sean

Try this:

> task :cleandb => [:db_schema_import] do
> # Run script/dbload.rb

ruby "script/dbload.rb"

> # Run script/import_people.rb

ruby "script/import_people.rb"

> end

Hope that helps.
