# Description

A (very) simple LWRP to provide access to rake as a resource.

# Requirements

None.

# Attributes

```ruby

attribute :arguments, :kind_of => String, :required => true

```

The list of arguments to pass to rake.

```ruby

attribute :working_directory, :kind_of => String, :required => true

```

The working directory rake will be executed in.

# Usage

### Make sure rake is installed locally: 

```ruby

include_recipe 'rake' 

```

### Set Path

Currently it expects to find rake on the PATH env variable.  Use this in a recipe to ensure it can (this is an example

for ubuntu 10.04).

```ruby

ENV["PATH"] += ":/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin"

```

### Finally, this is how we make rake run.

```ruby

rake :run do

  working_directory "/tmp"

  arguments "--help"

  action :run

end

```

# TODO

Lots, including

* fixing the need for action :run.

* Adding path statements per platform automagically.

* Adding versioning via an attribute or data_bag.

* Adding support to specific rake + ruby version (for multi versioned systems).

* Proper platform support, this should be easy (but a bit time consuming as I don't use every platform ever.)
