Research direction
Start by reproducing the two examples with the Rake command-line tool: rake foo should report a missing task, while rake Gemfile currently exits without output. Trace task resolution for names matching files or folders, then add or update coverage for these cases. Done means missing task names no longer silently succeed, including file-like names such as test.
