Re: [ts] Reindexing RVM + Cron problems

[Garrett Dimon]

I spent a lot of time this last week getting everything to work through RVM. In most cases like this, I ended up using the rvm-shell command. Here's an approximate idea of what our crontab looks like using rvm-shell. You should be able to run the rake task directly if you explicitly point it to the rakefile. We're using ree, but this should work with any ruby. Of course, make sure to replace anything in {} with your own relevant stuff.

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

30 * * * *            /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm-shell 'ree-1.8.7-2011.03@{gemset}' -c 'RAILS_ENV=staging rake -f /var/www/sites/{app-name}/current/Rakefile {rake-task}'

I hope that helps.

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to set up a cron to regularly reindex my application. I've explicitly set the PATH variable to include my own PATH (brute force I know) but I'm still getting errors.

RVM is installed on /usr/local/rvm.

-- Here is my entire crontab (user gcahill) - (note my path is what I get when I type echo $PATH into an interactive shell - quick and dirty I know!):

PATH=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@global/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin:/usr/local/sphinx/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

SHELL=/bin/bash

RAILS_ENV=production

*/1 * * * *  $HOME/scripts/reindex_db > $HOME/scripts/reindex_output.log 2>$HOME/scripts/reindex_error.log

-- And here is the script: reindex_db

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/gcahill/www/rails_apps/researchers.ie/current

bundle exec rake ts:reindex RAILS_ENV=production

-- And lastly, here's the error written to reindex_error.log

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:900:in `report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem bundler (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError)

from /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:248:in `activate'

from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/bundle:18:in `<main>'

Looks like it's a path related error, but I'm not sure what else I can do if I'm already explicitly setting my path to point to my rvm directories...

Any tips?

Thanks in advance!!

I would suggest to use bash -l -c options as suggested here:
