Passing parameters from one task to another within Capistrano

[Justin Diana]

Hey all,

I've got a task that can be run from the command line with a task_to_run parameter specified:

cap admin_server rake_tasks:run_rake_on_app -s task_to_run="db:migrate"

That will execute:

 task :run_on_app, :roles => :app do

    run <<-CMD

    cd #{current_path} &&

    rake #{task_to_run} RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env}

    CMD

  end

That runs just fine.

However, I have another task (within my deploy.rb file) that I would also like to run this task.  How do I format the command so that it essentially passes the equivalent of the "-s task_to_run=" to it?

I tried:

task :clear_sessions, { :roles => :app, :only => { :primary => true }} do

    rake_tasks.run_on_primary_app task_to_run="db:sessions:clear"

end

and 

task :clear_sessions, { :roles => :app, :only => { :primary => true }} do

    task_to_run = "db:sessions:clear"

    rake_tasks.run_on_primary_app(task_to_run)

end

What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind... sorry to have bothered. The following worked.

task :clear_sessions, { :roles => :app, :only => { :primary => true }}
do

set :task_to_run, "db:sessions:clear"
rake_tasks.run_on_primary_app
end
