Reset database with rake task - ruby-on-rails

I want to use Heroku's scheduler to reset my database once every day.
It's recommended to use rake tasks for the scheduler. This is what I've tried:
task :reset_database => :environment do
`heroku pg:reset MY_DB:URL`
`heroku run rake db:migrate db:seed`
# some other ruby commands
end
But how would I do this correctly, because putting the heroku commands within backticks, which with bash normally works, doesn't work here:
No such file or directory - heroku

Try this rake task:
namespace :reset_database do
desc "Destroy all table entries."
task :all => :environment do
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.each do |table|
if table != 'schema_migrations'
table.singularize.camelize.constantize.destroy_all
end
# Use this if you want to use the normal seeds:
# Rails.application.load_seed
# Use this if you want to run another rake task:
Rake::Task["foo:bar"].invoke
end
end
end

How to fix "uninitialized constant" in a Rake task

I have a problem when I do:
namespace :xaaron do
task :get_roles do
roles = Xaaron::Role.all
puts roles
end
task :get_role, [:name] do |t, args|
role = Xaaron::Role.find(args[:name].parameterize)
puts role
end
end
The first task will work fine. I can even add binding.pry and run Xaaron::Role and get information about Roles back. But the second task fails with:
NameError: uninitialized constant Xaaron::Role
I run each task in my main app because these tasks are inside an engine, using:
bin/rake xaaron:get_roles` and `bin/rake xaaron:get_role
I can run bin/rails c in the main application that uses the engine and run Xaaron::Role and get information about Roles table.
Why is the second one failing but the first one is not? Is there scoping with arguments?
I'm not sure why either works, but if this is Rails and those are Rails models, your tasks should depend on the environment:
task :get_roles => [ :environment ] do
By depending on the :environment task, it first loads Rails.
Also see: What's the 'environment' task in Rake?.
You can also run a Rake task as
bundle exec rake environment xaaron:get_role
This will load the Rails environment first.
I kept getting uninitialized constant errors for a Rake task, even after depending on :environment and running with bundle exec.
The issue was that I was making a Rake::TestTask and, even though the Rake task had access to all constants, the test files themselves did not have access to constants.
The solution was to add this line to the top of my test file:
require_relative '../config/environment'
This is the Rake task:
require "rake/testtask"
Rake::TestTask.new(:test) do |t|
t.libs << "test"
t.libs << "lib"
t.test_files = FileList["test/**/test_*.rb"]
end
To add, as of Ruby 1.9 and above, you can use this hash syntax:
namespace :xaaron do
desc "Rake task to get roles"
task get_roles: :environment do
roles = Xaaron::Role.all
puts roles
end
#####
end
And then you can run the command below to run the Rake task:
rake xaaron:get_roles
or
bundle exec rake xaaron:get_roles

How to execute a Rails "Rake Task"

what's up?
My friend created a rake task to update our data in the database (because we have db changes). Following is the task:
namespace :db do
task :update_database => :environment do
puts "Update do banco"
posts = Post.where("source_id is null").order("id")
done = Array.new
posts.each do |post|
if post.source_id.nil? and !done.include?(post)
posts2 = Post.where("content LIKE ? AND id != ?", post.content, post.id)
done.concat(posts2)
posts2.each do |post2|
post2.source_id = post.id
post2.save
end
end
end
end
end
I already executed this rake task in my localhost, but I deploy my project to heroku and now my project won't open online. I don't remember what's the command to execute rake tasks and I can't find it in no place.
My questions is:
What's the command to execute rake tasks?
What's the command to execute rake tasks on heroku? Just "heroku run "?
Thanks!
heroku run bundle exec rake db:update_database
should do.
bundle exec ensures that the script is run in the context of current bundle.

How do I pass parameter to a rake task that is invoked using Rake::Task

Here is my rake task
task :lab => :enviroment do
Rake::Task["db:rollback"].invoke('STEP=5')
end
It is not doing what I want. What I want is
rake db:rollback STEP=5
I am using Rails 3.2.1 on ruby 1.9.2.
On the command line I want to execute
rake lab
The real case is much more complicated but this is the jist.
task :lab => :enviroment do
ENV['STEP'] ||= 5
Rake::Task["db:rollback"].invoke
end
Options can be passed into rake by specifying key/value pairs on the rake command:
rake options:show opt1=value1
These command line options are then automatically set as environment variables which can be accessed within your rake task:
namespace :options do
desc "Show how to read in command line options"
task :show do
p "option1 is #{ENV['opt1']}"
end
end
Passing this as an environment variable might be your best bet. Try:
task :lab => :enviroment do
Rake::Task["db:rollback"].invoke(ENV['STEP'])
end
rake db:rollback STEP=5

'rake' "in order to" 'rake'

To prepare database for my Ruby on Rails 3 application I need to run the following steps in the Terminal:
rake db:create
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
Is it possible to do all those steps in one? Maybe it is possible running a 'rake' command that will "fire" another 'rake' command... but how?!
You can define your own rake tasks which call other tasks as prerequisites:
# lib/tasks/my_tasks.rake
namespace :db do
desc "create, migrate and seed"
task :do_all => [:create,:migrate,:seed] do
end
end
Normally the body of the task would contain Ruby code to do something, but in this case we are just invoking the three prerequisite tasks in turn (db:create,db:migrate,db:seed).
The empty do-end blocks are not needed, e.g. (for zetetic's answer)
$ cat lib/tasks/my_tasks.rake
# lib/tasks/my_tasks.rake
namespace :db do
desc "create, migrate and seed"
task :do_all => [:create,:migrate,:seed]
end
rake db:create db:migrate db:seed will do all that.
zeteitic got it right, but in the event you don't want to namespace this task under "db", you'd want something more like this:
desc "Bootstrap database."
task :bootstrap => ["db:create", "db:migrate", "db:seed"] do; end
And on the command line:
rake bootstrap
# => create, migrate and seed db

Execute a Rake task from within migration?

I have a Rake task that loads configuration data into the DB from a file, is there a correct ruby/rails way to call it on a migration up?
My objective is to sync my team DB configs, without have to broadcast then to run the task lalala
def self.up
change_table :fis_situacao_fiscal do |t|
t.remove :mostrar_endereco
t.rename :serie, :modelo
end
Faturamento::Cfop.destroy_all()
#perform rake here !
end
UPDATE
How I do now, and works:
system('rake sistema:load_data file=faturamento/cfop')
And this is the suggestion from #Ryan Bigg, and it's exception:
Rake::Task['rake sistema:load_data file=faturamento/cfop'].invoke()
.
== AlterSituacaoFiscalModeloEndereco: migrating ====================
-- change_table(:fis_situacao_fiscal)
-> 0.0014s
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:
Don't know how to build task 'rake sistema:load_data file=faturamento/cfop'
Where it went wrong?
Yes there's a way to do that:
Rake::Task['your_task'].invoke
Update
Do not put rake inside the brackets, just the name of the task. You should set an ENV variable when running this:
In the console
FILE=somefile.text rake db:sistema:load_data
Calling it separately
FILE=somefile.text rake some:other:task:that:calls:it
This will be available in your tasks as ENV['file']
Note that if you call the Rake task with 'system', you need to check the process status afterwards and raise an exception if the Rake task failed. Otherwise the migration will succeed even if the Rake task fails.
You can check the process status like this:
if !($?.success?)
raise "Rake task failed"
end
Invoking the rake task is a nicer option - it will cause the migration to fail if the Rake task fails.
You can execute a rake task from within a loaded Rails environment with either Rake::Task['namespace:task'].invoke or Rake::Task['namespace:task'].execute.
You can pass data to the task inside of the invoke or execute method. Example:
Rake::Task['namespace:task'].invoke(paramValue)
This param can be handled in the rake task as follows:
namespace :namespace do
desc "Example description."
task :task, [:param] => :environment do |t, args|
puts args[:param]
...
end
end
This can be executed on the console as:
bundle exec rake namespace:task[paramValue]
More info: https://medium.com/#sampatbadhe/rake-task-invoke-or-execute-419cd689c3bd
This decision fits better, IMHO.
In your case it would be smth like this:
backup_env = ENV.slice('file') if ENV.key?('file')
ENV['file'] = 'faturamento/cfop'
Rake::Task['sistema:load_data'].invoke
ENV.delete 'file'
ENV.merge!(backup_env) if backup_env
