job_type itself shouldn't be parsed

[hamedrnik]

Hi,
I have a rake task in schedule.rb like below:

every 3.minutes do
  rake "db:update_something[4.minutes.ago.utc]"
end

The problem is whenever parse rake task itself and the result would be something like:

0 0 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /my_project && RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:update_something[240.ago.utc] --silent'

which is incorrect. Is this expected behaviour to parse "db:update_something[4.minutes.ago.utc]" into
"db:update_something[240.ago.utc]"? becuase "[4.minutes.ago.utc]" is the parameter of the rake task and I don't want to be parsed.

FYI:
I'm using ruby 2.2.0, whenver 0.9.4 and chronic 0.10.2.

I found a workaround @IceAge, just add `#{4}.minutes.aog' - crazy I know.

every 3.minutes do
  rake "db:update_something[#{4}.minutes.ago.utc]"
end

Per @javan, we'll need to avoid parsing Ruby code inside quotes: #530 (comment)
