run() click to toggle source

Run the Rake application. The run method performs the following three steps:

Initialize the command line options (init).
Define the tasks (load_rakefile).
Run the top level tasks (top_level).

If you wish to build a custom rake command, you should call init on your application. Then define any tasks. Finally, call top_level to run your top level tasks.

 
               # File rake/application.rb, line 69
def run
  standard_exception_handling do
    init
    load_rakefile

end

Provide standard exception handling for the given block.

    yield
  rescue SystemExit => ex
    # Exit silently with current status
