Rails cron with whenever, setting the environment

Question

This question will probably only make sense if you know about the whenever gem for creating cron jobs. I have a task in my schedule.rb like

every 1.day, :at =&g         


        

Answer 1

Whenever doesn't detect your environment, it just defaults to using production. You can set the environment for all jobs using set:

set :environment, 'staging' 

Or per job:

every 2.hours do 
  runner 'My.runner', :environment => 'staging' 
end
