You can run Rake tasks from your shell by running:

rake task_name

To run from from Ruby (e.g., in the Rails console or another Rake task):

Rake::Task['task_name'].invoke

To run multiple tasks in the same namespace with a single task, create the following new task in your namespace:

task :runall => [:iqmedier, :euroads, :mikkelsen, :orville] do # This will run after all those tasks have run
end

Rake::Task['reklamer:orville'].invoke

or

Rake::Task['reklamer:orville'].invoke(args)

Sometimes Your rake tasks doesn't get loaded in console, In that case you can try the following commands

require "rake"
YourApp::Application.load_tasks
Rake::Task["Namespace:task"].invoke

Have you tried rake reklamer:iqmedier ?

My custom rake tasks are in the lib directory, not in lib/tasks. Not sure if that matters.

If you aren't sure how to run a rake task, first find out first what tasks you have and it will also list the commands to run the tasks.

Run rake --tasks on the terminal.

It will list the tasks like the following:

rake gobble:dev:prime
rake gobble:dev:reset_number_of_kits
rake gobble:dev:scrub_prod_data

You can then run your task with: rake gobble:dev:prime as listed.

As the and described

you have to add

require 'rake'
Rake::Task.clear
YourAppName::Application.load_tasks

on the top of the file.

YourAppName comes from config/applicaion.rb, which is defined as a namespace, such as:

module YourAppName class Application < Rails::Application end
end

and then you can use

Rake::Task["task_name"].invoke

to invoke your task.

In rails 4.2 the above methods didn't work.

1. Go to the Terminal.
2. Change the directory to the location where your rake file is present.
3. run rake task_name.
4. In the above case, run rake iqmedier - will run only iqmedir task.
5. run rake euroads - will run only the euroads task.

6. To Run all the tasks in that file assign the following inside the same file and run rake all

   task :all => [:iqmedier, :euroads, :mikkelsen, :orville ] do #This will print all the tasks o/p on the screen
   end
