The RAKE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RAKE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RAKE file on each system platform.
What is RAKE file?
The RAKE file has been categorized as Developer Files. It was designed by Ruby community. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Ruby Makefile is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Sublime Text application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the RAKE file. The Ruby programs will also handle the file when the Sublime Text program does not fulfill its role.
How to open RAKE file?
The most common problem when using Ruby Makefile is that a specific RAKE is not associated with the program. This causes the file RAKE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RAKE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sublime Text
The first step is to check if the computer has the Sublime Text program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sublime Text in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support RAKE files.
Programs to open RAKE file
Remember to download programs supporting RAKE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with RAKE files
If, despite the installed application, the RAKE file does not start in the Sublime Text application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RAKE file with the Sublime Text program.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Ruby Makefile file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RAKE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RAKE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RAKE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RAKE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RAKE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RAKE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RAKE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ruby community help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RAKE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RAKE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RAKE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
