'Whenever' Rails Gem Throwing Errors to Cron Log

Question

[NOTE TO READERS]: I have spent nearly 5 hours trying to fix this and read just about every StackOverflow post on this matter, watched every video, etc., so please don't mark as duplicate without a specific answer or explanation. Thank you!

I am trying to execute a simple 'puts' statement using the 'whenever' gem in development environment and having it output to my cron_log.log file.

1) When I schedule the task to run a method every 1 minute, I get this error in my cron_log file:

bundler: failed to load command: bin/rails (bin/rails)

I have checked my Gemfile.lock and activesupport-5.0.3 is there in all it's glory.

Here is my setup in schedule.rb

set :environment, "development"
set :output, 'log/cron_log.log'

def say_hi
    puts "hello"
end

every 1.minute do
    runner 'say_hi'
end

(*Please note: I have tried rake, runner, and command for each scheduled task and the result throws the same error)

When I run the command 'whenever' from the terminal, here is my output:

* * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /Users/jessierichardson/Desktop/projects/Ruby/blog_testing && bundle exec bin/rails runner -e development '\''say_hi'\'' >> log/cron_log.log 2>&1'

I am using Rails 5.0.3 and Ruby 2.2.1

You just set env PATH and GEM_PATH in schedule.rb like:

env :PATH, ENV['PATH']
env :GEM_PATH, ENV['GEM_PATH']
