Ruby on Rails resque task gets error

Question

I'm trying to use resque in my ruby on rails application.

I created resque.rake file in lib/tasks folder

require 'resque/tasks'

task 'resque:setup' => :environment

I've started redis server by following line

redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

I have this RakeFile in my application:

require_relative 'config/application'

Rails.application.load_tasks

But when I run the following command to start rake

rake resque:work QUEUE='*'

I'm getting this error:

LoadError: cannot load such file -- resque/tasks

I can't see What I'm missing,

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Note: I'm using rails 5.0.1

In rails you can add this in your config/application.rb

config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)
config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/**/"]

Don't worry this is really easy to miss in the Rails doc's. It's just a small mention on this page

Go to this page and search for "config.autoload_paths" if you'd like to read more about it. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/autoloading_and_reloading_constants.html#autoload-paths

Also depending on how you build the app (with or without documentation) you may see comments about this in the application.rb

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  # Add additional load paths for your own custom dirs
  # config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/extras )
  config.load_paths << "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/some_model_group"
  config.load_paths << "#{RAILS_ROOT}/lib"
end
