Hello,

I need to expire cache outside controller, in my rake tasks. I want to  
use standard methods expire\_fragment,etc… but I can’t manage to use  
them outside controllers. I tried including  
ActiveController::Caching::Actions but didn’t work.

Anyone has any solution? I’m losing my head how to do it… (besides  
manually deleting files)

Thanks
