A rake task from a gem doesn't show up in a Rails application

Question

I'm building a gem with a list of rake tasks. I have this:

#/lib/tasks/my_gem.rake:

namespace :my_gem do
  task :task1 do
    puts "Hello"
  end
end

I install the gem to a rails application and run rake -T. And there's no task "task1" or anything related to "my_gem".

Add a description, like so:

namespace :my_gem do
  desc "my task"
  task :task1 do
    puts "Hello"
  end
end

I think it should still show up without the description, no? – Sergio Tulentsev Jul 20 '17 at 06:39
@SergioTulentsev for me tasks don't show unless i give it a desc (Rails 5.0.2). – Roger Jul 20 '17 at 06:48
@SergioTulentsev i do think you can run without a desc. But it doesn't show in the rake -T – Roger Jul 20 '17 at 06:52
