whenever gem schedule.rb file: doesn't recognize RAILS_ROOT variable - ruby-on-rails

In schedule.rb file, the statement:
require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/environment.rb"
every "10 10 2 * * *" do
command "mysqldump -u #{#db_username} -p#{#db_password} --single-transaction #{#db_name} > #{#backup_Path}/#{#db_name}.sql 2> log/error_crontab.log"
end
When i try to execute the whenever cmd from terminal, getting the following error:

i am using the require statement to get the dynamic values from the form to schedule the job. Please help to solve this issue?
Note: i have seen the following stackoverflow queries:

config file in schedule.rb with Rails Whenever gem?

Whenever doesn't require or depend on Rails at all, so when it runs, RAILS_ROOT is not defined, however because whenever's schedule.rb is generally kept in /config/schedule.rb, we can make an assumption that it is in a rails project, and set our own RAILS_ROOT like this:
# in schedule.rb
RAILS_ROOT = File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/..'
Edit: in the case that you actually need Rails loaded, do this:
# in schedule.rb
# this will require config/environment and load your entire rails environment
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/environment")

The whenever developer already answered this question, check this out https://github.com/javan/whenever/issues/81
Javan Whenever no longer attempts to load your Rails environment. However, it does automatically set a path variable to the directory whenever was executed from. This should work just the same:
set :output, "#{path}/log/cron.log"

In Rails 4 try with:
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")
in your schedule.rb file.
This way you also have access to all your active-record models and initializers.

Getting uninitialized constant from Sidekiq worker

I'm missing something, just not sure what. Sidekiq is up and running fine, I can see it in my terminal.
I have this worker, defined in app/workers/sqs_worker.rb
class SqsWorker
include Sidekiq::Worker
require 'aws-sdk'
def perform
#do something
end
end
And then in just a test file at app/test.rb I have the very simple code:
require 'sidekiq'
SqsWorker.new.perform_async
When I run the test.rb file I get this error: uninitialized constant SqsWorker (NameError)
Where did I go astray? I'm running Sidekiq (4.1.4)
I tried killing the running processes and restarting both Sidekiq and Redis to no luck.
uninitialized constant SqsWorker (NameError) indicates that your script in test.rb is not able to locate class SqsWorker
All you need to do is replace require 'sidekiq' with require_relative 'workers/sqs_worker' to make your script aware about location of SqsWorker class.
Probably, you ran the test.rb from outside of the scope of the application with something like that:
ruby app/test.rb
But for this purpose, You need to add to your test something like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__)
SqsWorker.new.perform_async
And run as this:
bundle exec ruby app/test.rb
Why do you need this? Because nowadays, the bundler manages your dependencies added to your app and therefore, you need to load the rails environment too and the last will load all the things under app/ basically.

Mongoid::Errors::NoSessionConfig in rails consolse

I clone rails app (our company project) and then install everything that related to mongo db and mongoid gem. Then I run the rake db:setup and then rails s. Its working fine, I can access all the sites and do everything. But I got problem in the rails console.
Whenever I do this:
rails c
then
User.first
I will get this error
Loading development environment (Rails 4.1.1) irb(main):001:0>
User.first Mongoid::Errors::NoSessionConfig: Problem: No
configuration could be found for a session named 'default'. Summary:
When attempting to create the new session, Mongoid could not find a
session configuration for the name: 'default'. This is necessary in
order to know the host, port, and options needed to connect.
Resolution: Double check your mongoid.yml to make sure under the
sessions key that a configuration exists for 'default'. If you have
set the configuration programatically, ensure that 'default' exists in
the configuration hash. from

I have been looking all over google and some blogs, could not figure it out how to fix this.
Besides that, we dont use the Rspec tho.
change your config/application.rb file:
replace it Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)
to it Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(assets: %w(development test)))
In the latest mongoid -5.0.0 version you can simply solve by placing the below code in application.rb
config.generators do |g|
g.orm :mongoid
end
In config/application.rb change
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)
to:
Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env)
Rails is trying to eager load the group of gems by environment and the stock config/mongoid.yml file you get when you run rails g mongoid:config only gives you a test and development namespace. Even though you're only running development, it's looking at all the groups. If you add the production namespace to the yml file it will load but my answer above works without you needing to do that.
Just make sure that on application initialization you do the following (in Rails console)
Mongoid.load!("path/to/your/mongoid.yml")
For more details visit http://mongoid.org/en/mongoid/docs/installation.html
With MongoId version 5.x, You will change config in Rails application follow:
File: application.rb
# Add line.
config.generators do |g|
g.orm :mongoid
end
I was set it and it working in rails console.
See more at:
https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/tutorial/mongoid-installation/#rails-applications
may be The problem is in the gem file, you did't mention the version of mongoid gem.
in gem file change
gem "mongoid"
to
gem "mongoid" , '~> 4.0.2'
and run bundle install
restart server and console.

Rails pathname missing in environment.rb

When I'm trying to install Diaspora* and after my rake db:setup I get the following error when I try open it from the browser:
NameError: uninitialized constant Pathname
/Users/myself/diaspora/config/environment.rb:15:in `<top (required)>'
the line 15 is the first after the comment:
# Load the rails application
require Pathname.new(__FILE__).dirname.expand_path.join('application')
require Rails.root.join("lib", "exceptions")
I'm also using Pow.
Add require 'pathname' at the top of environment.rb to make this core Ruby library available.

Rails script access model

i need a script to be able to access my model. I found a post about this which suggested doing
require "#{ENV['RAILS.root']}/config/environment.rb"
in the top of my script. then i can run ruby script/my_script.rb to run it. But this gives me the error
/Users/my_name/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- /config/environment.rb (LoadError)
what am i doing wrong
I think ENV['RAILS.root'] will be set after the environment is loaded. You can try
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")
However, a more commonly used idiom is writing Rake task. For example, create a file named lib/tasks/mytask.rake:
task :mytask => :environment do
# Do something with your model
end
Then execute rake mytask. The environment task will automatically load the Rails environment.
I found my own answer. forget what i said to include in the top. put this instead
ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = ARGV.first || ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development'
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")

How to detect Rails environment inside whenever

This question will probably only make sense if you know about the whenever gem for creating cron jobs.
For my app, I want to use whenever in all the environments, including testing and development.
My schedule.rb looks like this:
set :output, {
:error => "#{path}/log/error.log",
:standard => "#{path}/log/cron.log"
}
set :environment, Rails.env.to_sym
every 5.minutes do
rake 'db:activity:synchronize'
end
but it fails on Rails.env.to_sym (and the same stands for RAILS_ENV):
/home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/job_list.rb:21:in `eval': uninitialized constant Whenever::JobList::Rails (NameError)
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/job_list.rb:21:in `eval'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/job_list.rb:21:in `initialize'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever.rb:15:in `new'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever.rb:15:in `cron'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/command_line.rb:41:in `run'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/lib/whenever/command_line.rb:8:in `execute'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/gems/whenever-0.6.8/bin/whenever:38:in `<top (required)>'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/bin/whenever:19:in `load'
from /home/marius/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#uxolo/bin/whenever:19:in `<main>'
So, my question basically boils down to:
How do I access the current environment, or
What should I do to use whenever in all the environments?
At least in newer version of whenever it is possible to access the environment with #environment. For example if you want whenever to only generate cron entries for some jobs in production:
case #environment
when 'production'
every 1.day, :at => '0:00 am' do
rake "some:task"
end
end
The error message suggests that Rails isn't defined. i.e the framework isn't loaded when you're asking the question what environment is rails running with.
In fact from looking at the code for Whenever it looks like rails isn't a requirement for it (i.e. You can install and run Whenever without rails even being installed on your system). Hence there's no way for Whenever to look at your rails environment (as far as i can tell)
As recommended by the gem author, the solution is to pass in the current environment as a variable:
$ whenever --set environment=test
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/marius/uxolo && RAILS_ENV=test rake db:activity:synchronize --silent >> /home/marius/uxolo/log/cron.log 2>> /home/marius/uxolo/log/error.log'
$ whenever --set environment=development
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/marius/uxolo && RAILS_ENV=development rake db:activity:synchronize --silent >> /home/marius/uxolo/log/cron.log 2>> /home/marius/uxolo/log/error.log'
And Chris Bailey is right: Whenever itself doesn't load the Rails environment.
A variation of the first answer to a similar question worked for me. Add
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")
to the top of schedule.rb and you'll be able to call Rails.env to access the current Rails environment.
Note: the above path would be different if your environment.rb file isn't in /app/config
I took the implementation of Rails.env I found here (by clicking on "source"), and used it to initialize the ::Rails module at the beginning of the config/schedule.rb
eval %Q(module ::Rails
def self.env
'#{#environment}' || ENV["RAILS_ENV"] || ENV["RACK_ENV"] || "development"
end
end
)
This creates the Rails module, and makes its environment return what you supplied as --set environment=... in the whenever command line, as the script author suggests.
However, whenever sets the #environment to production by default, so this large "or" may be not quite useful.
Now the Rails.env call in the Whenever script would work. What was more important in my case, it also worked in other scripts I included into schedule.rb, such as the one that loaded application.yml.
P.S. The eval call is used to access #environment available in the scope of the schedule.rb script from inside the definition of a module.
