Declare a basic task. The task_name is always the first argument. If the task name contains a “:” it is defined in that namespace.

The task, argument and dependency names may be either symbols or strings.

task clobber: %w[clean] do
  rm_rf "html"
end

A task with an argument and a dependency:

task :package, [:version] => :test do |t, args|
  # ...
end

To invoke this task from the command line:

$ rake package[1.2.3]

Alternate definition:

task :package, :version, needs: :test do |t, args|
  # ...
end
