Rails runner command not saving to cache
- by mark
Hi
I'm having a bit of a problem with a cron task generated by rails whenever plugin that should store remote data in the rails cache for display. What I have is this:
schedule.rb
set :path, '/var/www/apps/tuexplore/current'
every 1.hour do
runner "Weather.cache_remote", :environment => :production
end
calls this model
class Weather
def self.cache_remote
Rails.cache.write('weather_data', Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(WEATHER_URL)).body)
end
end
Calling whenever returns this
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/deploy/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin
0 * * * * /var/www/apps/tuexplore/current/script/runner -e production "Weather.cache_remote"
This doesn't work. Calling the weather model method from a controller works fine, but I need to schedule it hourly. The cron task causes a "Cache write: weather_data" entry to appear in the production log but data isn't stored nor output into the page. Additional information, I can log into production console and run Weather.cache_remote, then read the data from the rails cache.
I'd be really appreciative if someone could point out the error of my ways. If further explanation is needed please ask. Thanks in advance for any pointers.
