Move update_changelog.rake to rakelib directory

[justin808]

Summary

• Moves lib/tasks/update_changelog.rake to rakelib/update_changelog.rake

This aligns with the project's rake task organization pattern where custom rake tasks are stored in rakelib/ rather than lib/tasks/, matching the pattern used by release.rake and other project-specific rake tasks.

Test plan

• Verify rake -T shows the update_changelog task
• Test running rake update_changelog to ensure it still works correctly

PR Review: Move update_changelog.rake to rakelib directory

✅ Summary

This PR correctly moves lib/tasks/update_changelog.rake to rakelib/update_changelog.rake, aligning with the project's organizational pattern where custom rake tasks are stored in rakelib/.

🔍 Code Quality & Best Practices

Strengths:

• ✅ Correct organizational pattern: The move aligns with established project structure. Looking at the existing files:

  • rakelib/release.rake - project-specific release automation
  • rakelib/task_helpers.rb - shared utilities for rake tasks
  • lib/tasks/cypress.rake - Rails-integrated tasks that need the :environment dependency

• ✅ Clean file move: This is a pure rename operation with no code changes, minimizing risk

• ✅ Well-documented rationale: PR description clearly explains the reasoning

Rationale for the pattern:
The distinction between lib/tasks/ and rakelib/ makes sense:

• lib/tasks/ → Rails-specific tasks that require the Rails environment (like cypress.rake with => :environment)
• rakelib/ → Standalone project tasks that work without Rails initialization (like release automation and changelog management)

🐛 Potential Issues

Minor considerations:

1. Documentation references: The task is referenced in docs/RELEASE.md:61 and rakelib/release.rake:52. These references use bundle exec rake update_changelog, which will continue to work correctly since Rake automatically loads files from rakelib/.

2. No test coverage: There are no tests for rake tasks in the spec/ directory. Consider adding tests for critical rake tasks like update_changelog and release to prevent regressions.

🔒 Security Concerns

None identified. This is a low-risk organizational change.

⚡ Performance Considerations

None. Rake's loading mechanism treats rakelib/*.rake files the same as lib/tasks/*.rake - there's no performance difference.

✅ Test Coverage

Test Plan Status:
The PR includes a test plan:

• Verify rake -T shows the update_changelog task
• Test running rake update_changelog to ensure it still works correctly

Recommendations:

1. ✅ Verify the task appears in rake -T output
2. ✅ Test the task execution with: bundle exec rake update_changelog
3. Consider adding automated tests for rake tasks to prevent future regressions

📝 Additional Notes

How Rake loads tasks:

• Rails automatically loads lib/tasks/**/*.rake via the Railtie (lib/cypress_on_rails/railtie.rb:7)
• Rake automatically loads rakelib/**/*.rake from the project root
• Both approaches work identically for task discovery

File structure after this PR:

lib/tasks/
  └── cypress.rake          # Rails tasks (requires :environment)
  
rakelib/
  ├── release.rake          # Standalone project tasks
  ├── update_changelog.rake # Standalone project tasks
  └── task_helpers.rb       # Shared utilities

✨ Recommendation

LGTM - Approve with minor suggestions:

This is a good organizational improvement. The change is low-risk and follows the established pattern in the codebase.

Before merging:

1. ✅ Run the test plan checklist from the PR description
2. Consider documenting the organizational pattern (lib/tasks vs rakelib) in a CONTRIBUTING.md or developer guide

Future enhancement:
Consider adding RSpec tests for the rake tasks to ensure they work correctly:

# spec/lib/tasks/update_changelog_spec.rb
require 'rake'

RSpec.describe 'rake update_changelog' do
  # Add tests here
end
