Is there a way to pass params to a rake task and have it return
values? -
I have seen the ENV var being used to pass in the args to rake. Is it
thread safe? Are there any unintended consequences if two controllers
execute a new task? -
Is it advisable to invoke a rake task (from a controller) to update
the DB?

My tasks.rake file has:
task :my_script => :environment do
puts “ID: = #{args.user_id}”
end
and I invoke it using:
load “#{RAILS_ROOT}/Rakefile”
def update_user
Rake::Task[“my_script”].invoke
end
Using the code above, how would I pass in arguments to the script?
Hi,
Why use rake to update the database? You’re better off using the
controller to update the database, with a model or two - that is,
after all, what the model was designed for.
