The TaskManager module is a mixin for managing tasks.
Find a matching task for task_name.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 57
def [](task_name, scopes=nil)
  task_name = task_name.to_s
  self.lookup(task_name, scopes) or
    enhance_with_matching_rule(task_name) or
    synthesize_file_task(task_name) or
    fail "Don't know how to build task '#{task_name}'"
end
             
            Clear all tasks in this application.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 159
def clear
  @tasks.clear
  @rules.clear
end
             
            Return the list of scope names currently active in the task manager.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 199
def current_scope
  @scope
end
             
            If a rule can be found that matches the task name, enhance the task with the prerequisites and actions from the rule. Set the source attribute of the task appropriately for the rule. Return the enhanced task or nil of no rule was found.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 129
def enhance_with_matching_rule(task_name, level=0)
  fail Rake::RuleRecursionOverflowError,
    "Rule Recursion Too Deep" if level >= 16
  @rules.each do |pattern, args, extensions, block|
    if pattern.match(task_name)
      task = attempt_rule(task_name, args, extensions, block, level)
      return task if task
    end
  end
  nil

  ex.add_target(task_name)
  fail ex
end
             
            Evaluate the block in a nested namespace named name.  Create
an anonymous namespace if name is nil.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 205
def in_namespace(name)
  name ||= generate_name
  @scope = Scope.new(name, @scope)
  ns = NameSpace.new(self, @scope)
  yield(ns)
  ns
ensure
  @scope = @scope.tail
end
             
            Lookup a task. Return an existing task if found, otherwise create a task of the current type.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 52
def intern(task_class, task_name)
  @tasks[task_name.to_s] ||= task_class.new(task_name, self)
end
             
            Lookup a task, using scope and the scope hints in the task name. This method performs straight lookups without trying to synthesize file tasks or rules. Special scope names (e.g. '^') are recognized. If no scope argument is supplied, use the current scope. Return nil if the task cannot be found.
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 169
def lookup(task_name, initial_scope=nil)
  initial_scope ||= @scope
  task_name = task_name.to_s
  if task_name =~ /^rake:/
    scopes = Scope.make
    task_name = task_name.sub(/^rake:/, '')
  elsif task_name =~ /^(\^+)/
    scopes = initial_scope.trim($1.size)
    task_name = task_name.sub(/^(\^+)/, '')
  else
    scopes = initial_scope
  end
  lookup_in_scope(task_name, scopes)
end
             
            Resolve the arguments for a task/rule. Returns a triplet of [task_name, arg_name_list, prerequisites].
 
               # File rake/task_manager.rb, line 72
def resolve_args(args)
  if args.last.is_a?(Hash)
    deps = args.pop
    resolve_args_with_dependencies(args, deps)
  else
    resolve_args_without_dependencies(args)
  end
