[Rake-devel] task parameters and default values

[Luis Lavena]

Hello Eveybody,

I found that having the same parameter name for two task, when calling
one it automatically overwrite the others value.

task :bar, [:version] do |t, args|
  version = args.version || 'unstable'
  puts "Bar version #{version}"
end

task :foo, [:version] => [:bar] do |t, args|
  version = args.version || 'stable'
  puts "Foo version #{version}"
end


Calling 'foo' without parameters:

Luis at KEORE (D:\Users\Luis\Desktop)
$ rake foo
(in D:/Users/Luis/Desktop)
Bar version unstable
Foo version stable

But calling 'foo' with '1.8', overwrites also bar task

Luis at KEORE (D:\Users\Luis\Desktop)
$ rake foo[1.8]
(in D:/Users/Luis/Desktop)
Bar version 1.8
Foo version 1.8

I've tried the code above and also usage of with_defaults to setup the
arguments options, both with same results.

Should this be considered a bug? At first sight the TaskArguments
should be per-task and not global available to all the tasks.
