The RAKEFILE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RAKEFILE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RAKEFILE file on each system platform.
What is RAKEFILE file?
The file with the extension RAKEFILE is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Ruby community. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Ruby Makefile appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Sublime Text. This was created by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use Ruby in case Sublime Text cannot be used.
How to open RAKEFILE file?
The main problem with Ruby Makefile is that the RAKEFILE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RAKEFILE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RAKEFILE 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. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file RAKEFILE.
Programs to open RAKEFILE file
Remember to download programs supporting RAKEFILE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with RAKEFILE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RAKEFILE file to open in the Sublime Text application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sublime Text application as the default for handling the RAKEFILE file.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, however, after binding Sublime Text with Ruby Makefile there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 RAKEFILE 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RAKEFILE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RAKEFILE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RAKEFILE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RAKEFILE file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RAKEFILE 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 file RAKEFILE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RAKEFILE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RAKEFILE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RAKEFILE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
