use whenerver to generate a cron ERB template

[thei...@gmail.com]

Hi

! love whenever but in a clever-only-to-me move I'm tried to generate a cron file with erb placeholders.

It is because I'm plan to feed the whenever generated file to erb in order to fill these placeholders.

There are so many of them and there are some stored as arrays in my stuff that's because I'm not using the "set" to copy my actual variables. (a matter of lazyness perhaps, but that's another way to say do not repeat yourself)

So my problem is that whenerver scapes the ' and the % which I plan to be erb code.

So... Is it possible to tell whenever in schedule.erb not to scape ' and % in a string?

someting like:

every 2.day, at: "00:00" do
  command "curl http://localhost:8080/cron.php?cron_key=" + do_not_scape_for_cron_this_stuff('<%= secrets[stage]['drupal']['cron_key'] %>')
end

Many thanks

Could you do the ERB processing first? Render your schedule.erb file into schedule.rb and hand that off to Whenever.

That could be a nice workarround... Now what I'm doing is replicate the code which loads my needed variables into schedule.rb which is a workarround too but mine is more coupled. I'll switch to doing what you suggest but only if whenevers's DSL lacks of this feature.

end

I'm still intrested in knowing if this is possible or could be achieved without patching the gem.
 

Many thanks

It's not possible. Whenever generates crontab-ready output so those characters will always be escaped.
