Unable to load jakefile #274

Hi,

I just tried to make use of jake but found really weird issue that jake is unable to load jakefile. Do you have any idea how to resolve it. Directory Structure: jake_test-- --------------jake.sh --------------jakefile.js

Here is trace log: jake aborted. Error: No Jakefile. Specify a valid path with -f/--jakefile, or place one in the current directory. at api.fail (/opt/lampp/htdocs/jake_test/node_modules/jake/lib/api.js:336:18) at EventEmitter.utils.mixin.run (/opt/lampp/htdocs/jake_test/node_modules/jake/lib/jake.js:319:9) at Object. (/opt/lampp/htdocs/jake_test/node_modules/jake/bin/cli.js:25:10) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:901:3

Help really appriciated.

A few questions -- what is in the jake.sh? It looks like you've installed Jake as a local module -- are you just starting with with the local CLI script, or are you trying to embed Jake inside your program?

Actually jake.sh has simple command of "node_modules/.bin/jake $*"

But I able to figure it out that: "Jakefile.js" has to start with a capital "J"

For which I'm Thankful to James Shore.

Thank you
