Set Multiple Environmental Variables On Invocation of Rake Task

rake, rake-task, ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3

Solution

Agree with @Ernest; it should work. Here's a sample...

Sample rake task to echo vars:

task :echo_env do
  puts "VAR1: #{ENV['VAR1']}"
  puts "VAR2: #{ENV['VAR2']}"
end

Execute task:

VAR1=first VAR2=second bundle exec rake echo_env

Output:

VAR1: first
VAR2: second

Problem

I can invoke a Rake task and set a single environmental variable like this: ``` $ ONE=1 rake temp:both ``` But how do I set two environmental variables? This doesn't work: ``` $ ONE=1 TWO=2 rake temp:both ``` This works, but is confusing to read: ``` $ ONE=1 rake temp:both TWO=2 ``` How can I pass more than one env before the call to `rake`?
