Generate Routes in Rails 3 Rake Tasks

Posted on January 6, 2011

In order to create a new admin record, I added a rake task to my rails project. The task prompts the user for the credentials of the new user and creates the admin in the database. Since I don’t have a link on the page for the admin login, I wanted to remind the user how to access the login screen. By default, rake tasks don’t load the url_helper module, so you need to include it in your task.

In Rails 3, add the module as indicated in the gist below.

A short bit on me…

First and foremost, I am a husband to the most incredible woman alive, a father of four amazing children and in general, I love being alive.

After that, I am a passionate Ruby on Rails developer, a {biking|climbing|hiking|swimming} enthusiast, a paleo chef (ahem…in my own kitchen), an avid reader, and a huge fan of tech startups.

My current role is software engineering manager at OveractDev Technology Partners in St. George, UT. We build custom web applications with pride and craftsmanship.

Agile Manifesto

Software Craftsmanship Manifesto

Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men. Next, in order to beat more skillful men, train, not allowing your heart to be swayed along a side-track. Even if you kill an enemy, if it is not based on what you have learned it is not the true Way. — Musashi Miyamoto, The Book of Five Rings
