The dirty way:

task('default', function() {
  jake.exec('jake --tasks', { interactive: true })
})

Wait, I'm not sure what you're asking for here -- do you want a way to set the default task? Or are you asking how to pass CLI args to an embedded instance of Jake?

Define the default task is just naming it 'default' but i would like to call jake "--tasks" function in a task, directly via JavaScript. On 3 Jun 2014 19:43, "Matthew Eernisse" notifications@github.com wrote:

Ah, now I understand. Internally, the jake -T CLI command just calls jake.showAllTaskDescriptions. I've updated the doc here to indicate this: https://github.com/mde/jake#showing-the-list-of-tasks

Thank you very well @mde ;)

Works like a charm!

task('default', function() {
  jake.showAllTaskDescriptions()
})

Even better:

task('default', jake.showAllTaskDescriptions)

Excellent. :)
