Question

The situation

I have a rake task similar to

desc "A rake Task"
task :give_me_gold, [:quantity,:quality] => :environment do |task, args|
 ....
end

I am aware from the commandline you type

rake give_me_gold[10,24] 

to pass parameters to the rake task. However when RubyMine runs the task it runs it like this:

rake give_me_gold[quantity,quality] --trace 10,24

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a rake task that takes arguments.
2. Have RubyMine installed version 3.0
3. From RubyMine, click Tools -> Run Rake Task
4. Input your rake task name. It should show up as “task[option,option]” and press enter
5. A dialog will show up and ask for arguments. Fill it in and press enter
6. Observe the command RubyMine runs.

Back to my question

How do you pass arguments to a rake task in RubyMine 3.0?

Thank you for taking the time to view this question

This is a bug in RubyMine. See Issue #8527 at jetbrains.net
