Rake works by looking in your dir for a file called rakefile, Rakefile,
rakefile.rb, or Rakefile.rb Your directory doesn’t have one, so there is
no
file for rake to pull in and find your tasks from.

Based on your installed gems, and rake task, I assume you’re working on
a
Rails app. If so, check that you are in the root directory of the rails
app.
If you do this correctly, you will see Rakefile listed among your “$ls”
results.

Here is an example I made up:
$ pwd
~/myapps/myrailsapp/app/models

$ cd …
~/myapps/myrailsapp/app

$ cd …
~/myapps/myrailsapp

$ ls
README app db lib public test
vendor
Rakefile config doc log script tmp

$ rake -T gems
rake gems # List the gems that this rails
application
depends on
rake gems:build # Build any native extensions for
unpacked
gems
rake gems:build:force # Force the build of all gems
rake gems:install # Installs all required gems.
rake gems:refresh_specs # Regenerate gem specifications in
correct
format.
rake gems:unpack # Unpacks all required gems into
vendor/gems.
rake gems:unpack:dependencies # Unpacks all required gems and their
dependencies into vendor/gems.
rake rails:freeze:gems # Lock this application to the current
gems
(by unpacking them into vendor/rails)

$ rake gems:refresh_specs
(in /Users/josh/myapps/myrailsapp)

Also, if you genuinely don’t have a rakefile (ie it got deleted), you
can
create one yourself. ie:

(first, make sure you are in your rails app’s root directory)

$ cat <<‘RAKEFILE_END’ > Rakefile

Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake,

for example lib/tasks/capistrano.rake, and they will automatically be

available to Rake.

require(File.join(File.dirname(FILE), ‘config’, ‘boot’))

require ‘rake’
require ‘rake/testtask’
require ‘rake/rdoctask’

require ‘tasks/rails’
RAKEFILE_END
