Summary

Fixes the issue where rake -D release showed two conflicting release tasks causing confusion and the version argument to be ignored.

Problem

Running rake -D release showed duplicate tasks:

  1. Bundler's built-in release task from require 'bundler/gem_tasks'
  2. Our custom release task from lib/tasks/release.rake
  3. Namespaced tasks in Rakefile (release:prepare, release:publish)

This caused conflicts and the version argument was being ignored.

Solution

  1. Removed require 'bundler/gem_tasks' from Rakefile
  2. Manually defined :build task (was provided by bundler/gem_tasks)
  3. Removed lib/tasks/release.rake to avoid conflict with namespaced tasks
  4. Fixed gem bump flag from --version to -v (line 48)

Release Workflow

Now there's a single, clear release workflow:

rake release:prepare[1.19.0]  # Bump version, update CHANGELOG
rake release:publish           # Run tests, tag, publish to RubyGems

Test Plan

  • Verify rake -T release shows only release:prepare and release:publish
  • Test rake release:prepare[1.19.0] updates version correctly
  • Verify rake build still works
  • Test dry run doesn't fail

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a public build task to package the gem and place the artifact in a distribution directory.
    • Included the build step in the default task sequence.
  • Chores

    • Removed the legacy release task in favor of a streamlined release flow.
    • Updated the version bump command flag used during releases.
    • Simplified task provisioning by removing dependency on the previous task provider.

Fixed the issue where `rake release` showed two conflicting tasks:
1. Bundler's built-in release task (from require 'bundler/gem_tasks')
2. Our custom lib/tasks/release.rake

Changes:
1. Removed `require 'bundler/gem_tasks'` from Rakefile
2. Manually defined :build task that was provided by bundler/gem_tasks
3. Removed lib/tasks/release.rake (conflicts with namespace :release)
4. Fixed gem bump flag: --version to -v (line 48)

Now there's only one release workflow using the namespaced tasks:
- rake release:prepare[X.Y.Z] - Bumps version and updates CHANGELOG
- rake release:publish - Runs tests, tags, and publishes gem

The bundler/gem_tasks conflict is resolved.

Walkthrough

Introduces a manual gem build task in Rakefile, updates a version bump flag in the release flow there, adjusts the default task to include build, and removes the entire release workflow previously defined in lib/tasks/release.rake.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Rake tasks: build and defaults
Rakefile
Adds public task :build that builds the gem, ensures pkg/, and moves the gem there; removes commented bundler/gem_tasks; updates version bump flag from --version to -v in the release flow present in this file; includes build in the default task sequence.
Removal of release workflow
lib/tasks/release.rake
Deletes the release rake task and its helpers, which previously handled version validation, git checks, bumping via gem-release, tagging/pushing, and optional gem publishing with dry-run support.

Poem

I thump my paws: build day is here!
A gem rolls softly, crystal-clear.
No winding release burrow to chase—
Just pkg/ where treasures embrace.
Hop-hop, tag dreams for another morn,
Today, a tidy gem is born. 🐇💎

15-15: Consider removing :build from the default task.

Including :build in the default task means every rake invocation (which defaults to running the default task) will build the gem. During development, developers typically want to run tests only, not build artifacts.

If you agree, apply this diff:

-task default: %w[spec build]
+task default: :spec

Developers who need to build can explicitly run rake build, while CI/release workflows can invoke both tasks explicitly.

48-48: LGTM!

The correction from --version to -v is appropriate. The --version flag typically displays the tool's version, whereas -v correctly sets the gem version in gem-release.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

NameError: constant referenced before loading.

The task description interpolates CypressOnRails::VERSION before it's loaded. This will raise a NameError when Rake loads the Rakefile, as the constant is only required inside the task block (line 9).

Apply this diff to fix the issue by using a static description:

-desc "Build cypress-on-rails-#{CypressOnRails::VERSION}.gem into the pkg directory"
+desc "Build cypress-on-rails gem into the pkg directory"
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
desc "Build cypress-on-rails-#{CypressOnRails::VERSION}.gem into the pkg directory"
desc "Build cypress-on-rails gem into the pkg directory"
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In Rakefile around line 7, the task description currently interpolates
CypressOnRails::VERSION which triggers a NameError because the constant isn't
loaded until inside the task; change the desc to a static string (e.g. "Build
cypress-on-rails gem into the pkg directory") so Rake can parse the Rakefile
without loading the constant, and keep any use of CypressOnRails::VERSION inside
the task body where the constant is required.
