can not Rake :), please help.

Hi, I dont get what is wrong with this rakefile:

#====================================
task :default => :TTList

checkfile = "arrangement0/list.txt"
task :TTList => checkfile do
regenarate
end
#===================================

So, regenarate function regenarates bunch of files, including the
checkfile. When I call rake, it should run :TTList task, but only if
checkfile is not there. This rakefile runs :TTList even if the
checkfile exists.

thx.

If I recall correctly, it works the other way around. You're defining
the checkfile as a pre-requisite of TTList, so it would only run if
the checkfile was already present. If you remove it, does TTList run?
