How do I call another task in Rake

Question

Although this might sound similar to the other questions you find here, there is a slight twist. I have two directories, say /home/rails/Rake and /home/rails/test_app. The rails directory is where I place all my rails projects. Inside Rake, I have a Rakefile and a create.rake file. This is what my rakefile look's like ``` namespace :setup do desc "something" task :init do print "Name of the destination directory: " name = STDIN.gets.strip cp_r '.', "../#{name}/lib/tasks" cd "../#{name}" sh "rake setup:create" end end ``` And create.rake ``` namespace :setup do desc "Install" task :create do sh 'git init' #some other code end end ``` What it does is obvious. I want to copy the contents of the Rake directory to /test_app/lib/tasks. Then change directory to test_app and run setup:create task defined in the install.rake file now placed in test_app/lib/tasks. This works, but is this the rake way of doing it? Can anyone give me a slight hint of how it's done, the Rake way. Here is the error…

Accepted Answer

This is more rake-ish :)

```
 Rake::Task["setup:create"].invoke
```
