Cron job bundler error

Question

I'm trying to create a cron job that runs a controller method with the whenever gem but i'm having trouble. I'm getting

bundler: not executable: bin/rails

in my cron.log file.

schedule.rb

every 1.minutes do
  runner "Reset.reset"
end

reset.rb

class Reset < ActiveRecord::Base      
  def self.reset
    logger.debug("This is the cron job")         
  end    
end

I also ran the whenever --update-crontab to update the cron job.

Why isn't the logger message showing up in the log?

Thanks for all the help.

Out put of crontab -l

sm start rvm

sm end rvm

End Whenever generated tasks for: /home/john/rails_app/config/schedule.rb

Answer 1

The documentation states that for runner, the command looks like: cd :path && bin/rails runner -e :environment ':task' :output. But in your crontab it looks like: ...bundle exec bin/rails runner -e development...

Run crontab -e and delete bundle exec manually or specify job_type :runner in your schedule.rb file, as in the documentation. For me, this solved the problem.

job_type :runner,  "cd :path && bin/rails runner -e :environment ':task' :output"

every 1.minutes do
  runner "Reset.reset"
end

Answer 2

I ended up using a rake task instead of using runner.
