Require line in Rakefile prevents Hobo gems from being upgraded
Reported by Matt Jones | October 16th, 2009 @ 08:58 PM | in Beyond Hobo 1.0
(thanks to Betelgeuse for reporting this originally!)
As described on this ticket, the require statement that pulls in the Hobo rake tasks causes Rails to load the gem early. The result is that tasks like gems:install and gems:unpack don't work at all. They don't fail, as the code specifically detects the early loading and skips them entirely. (A behavior that guards against some edge cases where the gems aren't installed at the system level - vendored gems aren't on the load path when the Rakefile gets read.)
This goes back to a lower-level issue with using rake tasks from gems; see this old ticket for details.
Not sure if there's a workaround for now; the Rails 3 bundler may bring some clarity on this issue.
