Can't use rake tasks from rails when installed as gem
Reported by bigjimmyk3 | June 16th, 2009 @ 12:14 PM
I am attempting to use friendly_id in my rails project as a gem, but I am having trouble getting the lib-specific rake tasks to appear in my 'rake --tasks' list (it goes without saying that this means I can't run them from within the project). The friendly_id docs state that gem installation is the preferred method of operation so I'd like to do it the right way. However, I also need a convenient method for cleaning out / regenerating slugs. I have spent some time researching this using goog but no one seems to have a good solution. Is there a trick you use for getting the friendly_id:* tasks rake-accessible?
I'm using Ruby 1.8x, rails 2.3.2, and friendly_id 2.1.3.

Running
./script/generate friendly_id
will install the rake tasks in your project's tasks directory.
It will also generate a migration to create the slugs table. If you don't want to use slugs, simply delete the migration file after running the generator.
