Rake question: How to call a task from a different namespace

Ruby
1

How does one call from inside a namespace, a task from another
namespace?

namespace :foo do
task :a do
puts “Hello from task a!”
end
end

namespace :bar do
task :b do
Rake::Task[:foo][:a] # How to call foo:a ???
end
end

Thanks!

Rake::Task[‘foo:a’].invoke

#invoke will only run a task once. If you want to force it to run
(minus any prerequisites) call #execute.
