How to run rake tasks from console?

Question

I want to invoke my rake task from console. Is it doable? if yes, how to do so?

I tried this on console:

require \         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to do it is to run %x[command] from the irb. I'm not sure if what you want to achieve though.

%x[rake db:migrate]

EDIT: I highly recommend to use .invoke as Daniel says in the accepted answer.
