rake's executable on installation of volt gem, conflicts with my rbenv rake about volt

[wlads]

You can safely rewrite the executable. Volt uses Bundler. It will use the right version of the rake gem when using bundle exec volt ...

By safely I mean after installing the new executable of rake, running rake will still use the most recent version see:

gem list | grep rake
# rake (10.4.2)
rake --version
# rake, version 10.4.2
gem install volt
# install volt overwriting the executable
gem list | grep rake
# rake (10.4.2, 10.0.4)
rake --version
# rake, version 10.4.2

This will become a nasty bug if running volt new sample_project call's rake and your (newer) version has some incompatibility with that one required by the gem.

Inspecting Gemfile.lock after generating an app you will see that when prepended with bundle exec the rake version used by volt will be 10.0.4 as they expected.

Hope this helps!

PS: Volt is not Rails!

Like @wlads said, you can overwrite if you want. Volt doesn't use rake in project generation, and when you run rake inside of a project, you should use bundle exec Thanks!

@wlads thank you very much and @ryanstout likewise - appreciate the help.
