Rake task loading in Working Directory?

Question

So I have a pretty simple rake task, it looks like such:

#Clean User
 desc "Wipes User"
 task :clean_user, [:emp] => :environment do |t, args|
 Core::User.find(args[:emp]).destroy
end

Simple right? Essentially it takes in a ID and wipes the user. So I run the rake task as bundle exec rake clean_user 123

The 123 is just any sample number, however the weird thing is the error I get back, which essentially says:

"Error could not find user with ID = My Working Directory Path"

Of course replace My Working Directory Path with /usr/me/documents/folders/etc....

This makes no sense? It's like it's not taking in the actual 123 number? Are my arguments setup wrong for taking in Parameters from Command Line?

Thanks

Rake task arguments are not passed like that on the command line. Try this:

bundle exec rake clean_user[123]
