Rake tasks with arguments

[thecristen]

This is really cool! Thanks for developing.

For rake tasks that support arguments, is there a way to enter those in? So I can rake db:reset RAILS_ENV=test for example?

Unfortunately the current architecture of the base build package does not allow adding custom parameters to the executed commands easily. The problem is that the tasks (and their respective commands) are collected when an Atom project (directory) in opened. You cannot modify the commands later... :confused:

Here are some possible workarounds:

• Define a new task (alias) for the needed arguments, e.g. add db:reset:test task which will run db:reset using the test environment.
• Set the Rails environment via the system environment variable, on Linux start Atom using command RAILS_ENV=test atom /your/project/directory. This works only for parameters which can be passed also via environment.
• Set up a custom build command.

I'm closing the issue as it cannot be easily implemented in a build plugin. Feel free to report an issue for the base build package...
