POWhy are my Cucumber Rake Tasks executing even though I did not ask them to?

copied!<p>I'm struggling with understanding how Rake processes Cucumber tasks. I'm probably doing this wrong, but can't see what the "right" way is.</p> <p>I've got the following tasks:</p> <pre><code>namespace :features do Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(:browser, 'Run Cucumber Features using a Browser') do |t| t.profile = ENV['HUDSON'] ? 'browser_hudson' : 'browser' setup_environment check_profile(t.profile) end Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(:headless, 'Run Cucumber Features using a Headless Browser') do |t| t.profile = ENV['HUDSON'] ? 'hudson' : 'default' setup_environment check_profile(t.profile) end end </code></pre> <p>This seems straight forward to me.</p> <p>The problem is when I run any of the cucumber tasks, I'm seeing both tasks execute. So if I do:</p> <pre><code>rake features:browser </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>rake features:headless </code></pre> <p>I see setup_environment and check_profile run twice, and then the actual task getting invoked. I end up seeing something like this:</p> <pre><code>setup_environment called check_profile called, running in browser setup_environment called check_profile called, running headless ** Invoke features:browser (first_time) ** Execute features:browser </code></pre> <p>And of course, it's now running headless.</p> <p>I'm guessing I shouldn't be doing any "work" inside the task definition for a Cucumber task. Is there an alternative I should be looking into to accomplish this problem? </p>
