[Rake-devel] Bug with "gets" in Rake?

[Roland Swingler]

Hi,

First off apologies if this isn't the right place to be sending these
sort of bug reports, I couldn't see anything on the rubyforge project
page for them. I'm currently having a problem using gets with tasks
named on the command line.

Here is my example rakefile:

task :getting do
 x = gets
 puts x
end

task :default => [:getting]

The problem - running just "rake" on the command line works fine,
waiting for input - running "rake getting" gives me the following
error:

rake aborted!
No such file or directory - getting
/home/rolands/tests/rakefile.rb:2:in `gets'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Doing the trace I get:

/home/rolands/tests/rakefile.rb:2:in `gets'
/home/rolands/tests/rakefile.rb:2
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:387:in `execute'

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/bin/rake:7
/usr/local/bin/rake:18

Having had a quick look through the Rake source I can't see anything
obvious as to why this is going wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Roland
