whenever
This question will probably only make sense if you know about the whenever gem for creating cron jobs.
For my app, I want to use whenever in all the environments, including testing and development.
My schedule.rb looks like this:
set :output, {
:error => "#{path}/log/error.log",
:standard => "#{path}/log/cron.log"
}
set :environment, Rails.env.to_sym
every 5.minutes do
rake 'db:activity:synchronize'
end
but it fails on Rails.env.to_sym (and the same stands for RAILS_ENV):
/home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/job_list.rb:21:in `eval': uninitialized constant Whenever::JobList::Rails (NameError)
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/job_list.rb:21:in `eval'

from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@uxolo/bin/whenever:19:in `<main>'
So, my question basically boils down to:
- How do I access the current environment, or
- What should I do to use
whenever in all the environments?

Sorry quick question here from a relative Rails newbie. I'm trying to use the Whenever gem to schedule a number of rake tasks. I can't for the life of me get it to actually begin running the cron jobs on my development machine.
Judging from other stackoverflow threads, it appears I should add this:
set :environment, "development"
to my schedule.rb file. But then what?
And then how do I stop the cron jobs once they've started?
Using Rails 3.2.3 in OSX
UPDATE: the answer is to run $ whenever -w which writes the cron job to a crontab file. The system then immediately starts running that crontab file automatically.
Unfortunately, my logfile for whenever contains the following:
"rake aborted! Don't know how to build task <task name>"
I'm thinking this might be due to the known crontab/rvm issue, but any suggestions are welcome.

I have an application that contains a bunch of tasks, and every day I want to run a cron job that creates a DayTask for each Task in the database. A Task has_many DayTasks and these daytasks are what users will be checking off every day. I'm using the whenever gem but it doesn't seem to be running at all. Any ideas?
config/schedule.rb
every 1.day, :at => "12:01am" do
runner "Task.generate_tasks_for_day"
end
Task.rb
def generate_tasks_for_day
Task.all.each do |task|
task.day_tasks.create(:target_date => Date.today)
end
end
result of running the 'whenever command'
1 0 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/grant/rails_projects/GoalTwist && script/rails runner -e production '\''Task.generate_tasks_for_day'\'''
Note: I've been changing the times in config/schedule.rb every time I want to test run it.
Source: (StackOverflow)
Lets say I have a cronjob like this:
every 1.day, :at => '4:30 am' do
runner "MyModel.task_to_run_at_four_thirty_in_the_morning"
end
Although, I would like to make '1.day' more dynamic, such as changing the value via a form in an administration page.
Then it could look like this:
every Constant.find(2).value, :at => '4:30 am' do
or
@const = Constant.find(2)
every @const.span, :at => @const.time do
Can anyone come up with an idea on how to make this work?
Obviously, the reason for this would be that I could use the values stored in the database on my site, like an message saying
<%= "The next update is in less than #{@const.time}" #or something similar %>

I have a Rails app that I have hosted on Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk. I want to use the Whenever gem to schedule tasks, but both the Whenever gem documentation and the this Railscast mention integration with Capistrano. I'm not using Capistrano for managing my server, so I'm unsure if it mess up how my server operates now, if I install it just for using Whenever.
Perhaps another way of asking my question is what does including this command in Capistrano's deploy.rb file do, and is there a replacement for doing this if I don't use Capistrano:
set :whenever_command, "bundle exec whenever"
require "whenever/capistrano"

This is my first time scheduling a task and I am not sure of the best implementation (or the proper implementation).
My Goal:
I have a ruby on rails 4 app setup with twilio and deployed on Heroku. I want the app to automatically text all of my users once a week with a customized text message (which is written and created by information in the database).
From research I have come down to the following Gems: Whenever and Rufus-Scheduler.
I believe that both these gems can get the Job done, but upon reading on the Rufus' docs: "please note: rufus-scheduler is not a cron replacement" I got stuck trying to understand if what I want is indeed a cron job or a "Rufus-Scheduler".
I am left with the following questions: What is a cron job and when is the appropriate time to use it? Why is Rufus-Scheduler not a cron replacement and what does it do differently? Which one should I use?

In schedule.rb file, the statement:
require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/environment.rb"
every "10 10 2 * * *" do
command "mysqldump -u #{@db_username} -p#{@db_password} --single-transaction #{@db_name} > #{@backup_Path}/#{@db_name}.sql 2> log/error_crontab.log"
end
When i try to execute the whenever cmd from terminal, getting the following error:

i am using the require statement to get the dynamic values from the form to schedule the job. Please help to solve this issue?
Note: i have seen the following stackoverflow queries:

In my schedule.rb file I have the following lines:
set :output, '/log/cron_log.log'
every 5.minutes do
command 'echo "hello"'
end
I ran whenever -w as suggested in this question Rails, using whenever gem in development, and I assume the cronfile is written and running. (I tried restarting the Rails server as well.)
And when I run $ crontab -l I see the following:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/bash
-l -c 'echo "hello" >> /log/cron_log.log 2>&1'
But I can't find the log file. I checked in rails_project/log, ~/log and /log to no avail. On OSX btw.
How can I get the log file to be written to the rails project log folder?

I'm having problems deploying the Whenever gem to my production environment using Capistrano.
The problem is stemming from a bundle exec whenever command that's triggering some 'missing gem' issues (yet running bundle install from the shell shows that everything is in fact there!).
My feeling is that one of two things is happening: that Bundler isn't fully loading before bundle exec is being called, or that somehow there's a path issue that's running it in the wrong place.
Here's what's going on:
* executing `deploy'
* executing `deploy:update'
** transaction: start

You can see that the failure is coming from this line:
bundle exec whenever --update-crontab
Which is in turn being run by my Capistrano deploy.rb.

Now, the error that I'm getting about CarrierWave is bogus - I've been using CarrierWave for ages - and the issue clearly stems (as you can see by the command that triggers the error) from either Whenever itself or Bundler.
And I'm thinking that it actually may have something to do with paths related to RVM. At any rate, the bundle exec whenever isn't working.
Any ideas?

I did also get the error when I was using Rake 10.0.2 (I made bundle update and get Rake 10.0.3, and I leave it for testing). Also, I noticed that the bundler is searching over @global when I think it should search over the gemset (called @r328, and is located on /home/some_user/.rvm/gems).

I have a RoR app with background jobs using whenever and sidekiq gems.
In development environment when I launch sidekiq with local redis instance (on localhost) the job keeps getting executed without problems. But when I switch to a remote redis instance (Heroku add-on) and restart sidekiq, it says it started processing, but nothing happens and workers aren't doing any jobs.
Here's my config/schedule.rb (for whenever gem)
every 2.minutes do
rake "crawler:crawl"
end
Here's my initializers/redis.rb:
Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
config.redis = { :url => 'redis://user:pass@spinyfin.redistogo.com:9098/' }
end
Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
config.redis = { :url => 'redis://user:pass@spinyfin.redistogo.com:9098/' }
end
If I comment out the content in redis.rb and run a local redis instance, the jobs are processed normally. But when I use this remote redis instance, this shows up and then nothing gets processed:

I am using RVM with ruby, the current version is:
$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22 revision 39386) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]
So it seems that the cron job is loading the incorrect ruby version, but I don't know how to fix this. Can you help me figuring out?

i'm using whenever to schedule tasks for a rails application.
I have a task like:
every 24.hours do
command "do_this"
rake "do_that"
end
my point is, when i write it to my crontab, with whenever -w, i see that it generates two independent tasks running at the same time. the problem is, both are logically a sequence, that means, the rake task, "do_that", should run just if the command "do_this" did already, successfully run.
I tried to contact both like command "do_this" && rake "do_that" but i received a syntax error.
Does exist any trick to create this dependence between tasks in whenever?
Does the crontab execute the jobs at same time, in parallel or it process N tasks scheduled at the same time in a queue?
