Is there a way to run warble war in such a way that it will not read the local Rakefile? In other words, I want to be able to have a borken Rakefile, but have it not affect warbler at all.
The reason warbler loads the Rakefile is to be able to run a rake environment task if it exists. If you don’t want warbler to load your project Rakefile, set the following value in the config/warble.rb file in your project:
Warbler.framework_detection = false
