I'm trying to add the sandbox to my rails spree application and have run into this error
(using windows 8/powershell with Rails 4.1.6). I'm going by this manual: https://github.com/spree/spree/issues/411
This link Use older version of Rake
seems to have a similar issue but I am not sure how to take the necessary steps to achieve it.
When I try:
C:\Ruby193\openUpShop> bundle exec rake sandbox
I get:
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'sandbox'
I'm am new to rails and am still not sure how everything works so a throughout explanation
with step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
you can use a file sandbox.rb
# use example: rake task:sub_task -- --sandbox
if ARGV.any? {|arg| arg == '--sandbox' }
puts "** << USING SANDBOX!! >> **"
# beginning
$sandbox = -> do
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_transaction
end
# end
at_exit do
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.rollback_transaction
end
end
then only you need add at the beginning of your task.rake file
require_relative 'path_to_your/sandbox.rb'
..and add at the beggining of your task code
desc "description task"
task example_task: :environment do
$sandbox.call if $sandbox.present?

I need to upload a bunch of files to S3. I'm in a rails project using carrierwave+fog to upload the files... Everything works fine from the console, if I do the following:
image = ImageUploader.new
image.store!(File.open("image.jpg"))
This was to test, now I have to upload a bunch of files so I create a rake script inside the lib/tasks folder named upload.rake... Inside this upload.rake I do the following:
task :upload => :environment do
path = "app/assets/images"
Dir.foreach(path) do |file|
if file != "." && file !=".."
uploader = ImageUploader.new
uploader.store!(File.open(File.join(path,file)))
puts file
end
end
end
But it just doesn't work, I can't understand why... It gives this error:
rake aborted!
Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE)
Anybody has an idea of what may be happening?? It's driving me crazy... this is the last part of the --trace

I was running into this a few days ago and the solution was that I wasn't specifying my bucket correctly - so It may be worth having a look to make sure that your bucket name is correct and that the permissions are set correctly on it. It seems to be a bit of a ridiculously general error when there is no bucket specified!
Total newbie at cronjobs and that kinda stuff, never done it before, so now I tried to get my hands dirty using whenever as a plugin, after seeing it on RailsCasts.
So I am trying to run a cron job for my Ruby application, but it seems like it's not working, maybe becuase of the code or maybe because of me using Windows 7?
Here is the code from my Server model
def self.ping
Server.all.each do |t|
if t.name.serverUp?
#response = 'Up'
else
#response = 'Down'
end
self.update_attribute(:serverStatus, #response.to_s)
end
end
def serverUp?
if system 'ping '+name.to_s+' -n 1 > nul'
#response = 'Up'
else
#response = 'Down'
end
self.update_attribute(:serverStatus, #response.to_s)
#response
end
And here is the code from my schedule.rb file which has the cron job in it
#every 2.minutes do
# runner "Server.last.name = 'Works'"
# runner "for x in Server.all.each {x.serverUp?}", environment =>"development"
#end
every 2.minutes do
runner "Server.ping", environment =>"development"
end
I tried both methods out, (the latter I used most recently, to which I created the self.ping method in the Server model.
So when I run whenever in my rails directory, this is the output I get:
PS C:\SIS> whenever
0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd C:/SIS
&& script/rails runner -e production '\''Server.ping'\'''
## [message] Above is your schedule file converted to cron syntax; your crontab file was not updated.
## [message] Run `whenever --help' for more options.
1st) Funnily enough, the environment doesn't seem to have changed to development even though I stated it in the code.
2nd) The crontab file wasn't updated (I don't even know if there existed one to begin with?)
So I tried to create a crontab whenever file by running whenever -w ping, but the results was
PS C:\SIS> whenever -w ping
[fail] Couldn't write crontab; try running `whenever' with no options to ensure your schedule file is valid.
So this is my problem, any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Ok, I decided to use rufus-scheduler in order to update my Server list frequently. I tested out whether it would work to create a new server into the table every mintues, and that seemed to work.
However, because I wasn't able to stop it from creating servers, I removed it from the bundle, deleted the 'task_scheduler' file and then re-installed it and done everything like before.
However, when I now try to run the server, I get the following error:
C:/SIS/config/initializers/task_scheduler.rb:1:in '<top (required)>': undefined method 'start_new' for Rufus::Scheduler:

The code in the task_scheduler is as follows:
scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new
scheduler.every '1m' do
# Server.all.each do
# |server| server.name.serverUp?
# end
Server.ping
end
Not sure which of the two methods to use, hence I commented the first one out.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Edit
Ok, finally solved it, had to put require 'rubygems'
require 'rufus/scheduler' on the top of my code.
Now it works fine :-)
Cron is a Unix program. It doesn't exist on Windows.
Although it's nowhere near as flexible as cron, windows has the AT command which may be able to solve your problems, however you can only schedule it to run at most once a day. To see how to use AT run AT /? on your command line.
For much more fine-grained control over running tasks you can use the GUI based windows task scheduler. you can find this in Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler
I had the same problem, this is how I solved it:
I created a small EXE in AutoIT, the exe will read the names of files/urls to execute from an ini file (config.ini)
I named the EXE CRON.exe and had it start via schedulled tasks.
The files/urls in the config.ini can be either other executables or urls, the script will work out how to run each type.
AutoIT is a very simple scripting language, you can see my CRON.exe code below:
$iniFile='config.ini'
$i=0
While 1
$i+=1
$file=IniRead($iniFile, 'crons', $i, 'NULL')
If $file='NULL' Then ExitLoop
If StringInStr($file, 'http://') Then
InetGet($file, #TempDir, 1)
Else
$wd=StringSplit($file, '\', 3)
$workingDir=''
For $i=0 To UBound($wd)-2
$workingDir&=$wd[$i]&'\'
Next
RunWait($file, $workingDir)
EndIf
WEnd
Example of ini file:
[CRONS]
;paths of the files to execute
1=C:\anotherEXE.exe
2=http://mySite.com/myCron.php
All files are executed in order with no overlap, you can optionally change the AutoIT code to use Run instead of RunWait if you want to execute all files at the same time.
Yes I agree with Jorg M, cron job is unix program and also rufus scheduler internally call cron unix process so stay away from both and you should use delayed job ActiveRecord which help you to do the same.
This is as per my experience, there could other way but this is best which I ever used.
Best Luck
I've got a plugin that is a bit heavy-weight. (Bullet, configured with Growl notifications.) I'd like to not enable it if I'm just running a rake task or a generator, since it's not useful in those situations. Is there any way to tell if that's the case?
It's as simple as that:
if $rails_rake_task
puts 'Guess what, I`m running from Rake'
else
puts 'No; this is not a Rake task'
end
Rails 4+
Instead of $rails_rake_task, use:
File.basename($0) == 'rake'
I like NickMervin's answer better, because it does not depend on the internal implementation of Rake (e.g. on Rake's global variable).
This is even better - no regexp needed
File.split($0).last == 'rake'
File.split() is needed, because somebody could start rake with it's full path, e.g.:
/usr/local/bin/rake taskname
$0 holds the current ruby program being run, so this should work:
$0 =~ /rake$/
It appears that running rake will define a global variable $rakefile, but in my case it gets set to nil; so you're better off just checking if $rakefile has been defined... seeing as __FILE__ and $FILENAME don't get defined to anything special.
$ cat test.rb
puts(global_variables.include? "$rakefile")
puts __FILE__
puts $FILENAME
$ cat Rakefile
task :default do
load 'test.rb'
end
$ ruby test.rb
false
test.rb
-
$ rake
(in /tmp)
true
./test.rb
-
Not sure about script/generator, though.
The most stable option is to add $is_rake = true at the beginning of Rakefile and use it from your code.
Use of $0 or $PROGRAM_NAME sometimes will fail, for example when using spring and checking variables from config/initializers
You can disable the plugin using environment variable:
$ DISABLE_BULLET= 1 rake some:task
And then in your code:
unless ENV['DISABLE_BULLET']
end
We could ask this
Rake.application.top_level_tasks
In a rails application, this is an empty array, whereas in a Rake task, the array has the task name in it.
top_level_tasks probably isn't a public API, so it's subject to changes. But this is the only thing I have found.
I have following code in my deploy.rb
namespace :app do
desc "copies the configuration frile from ~/shared/config/*.yml to ~/config"
task :copy_config_files,:roles => :app do
run "cp -fv #{deploy_to}/shared/config/hoptoad.rb #{release_path}/config/initializers"
run "cp -fv #{deploy_to}/shared/config/app_config.yml #{release_path}/config/app_config.yml"
end
end
I thought it would be a good idea to keep my deploy.rb file clean and I attempted to move above code to capistrano_utilities.rb under config. I am using Rails application. And I added following line of code to deploy.rb
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../lib/capistrano_utilities")
Now I am getting following error.
undefined method `namespace' for main:Object (NoMethodError)
The value of self in the deploy.rb is Capistrano::Configuration . While the value of self in capistrano_utilities is Main. So I understand why I am getting namespace method error. What is the fix for this problem?
In your config/deploy.rb, try load instead of require. Also, capistrano already runs as if you're at the RAILS_ROOT, so there's no need to use __FILE__:
load "lib/capistrano_utilities"
In a capistrano config file, load is redefined to load another configuration file into the current configuration. When passing a path to it, it actually calls load_from_file (a private method defined by capistrano) that just reads the file from disk and instance_eval's it.
Check your Capfile on Rails.root.
if you use capistrano 3, you see this line;
Dir.glob('lib/capistrano/tasks/*.cap').each { |r| import r }
Now, put your file on "lib/capistrano/tasks/capistrano_utilities.cap" and it will be loaded.
