Sidekiq WARN: uninitialized constant ViewDBWorker Rails 4

Question

I'm using Rails 4.1.5 and Sidekiq 3.3.0. I have set the recurrence of this worker to execute after every one minute. It works fine on local but throwing an error on production and staging environments. Although the worker is doing its job and saving records only throwing errors after one minute.

app/workers/view_db_worker.rb:

class ViewDBWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  include Sidetiq::Schedulable

  recurrence { hourly.minute_of_hour((0..59).to_a) } if Rails.env.staging? || Rails.env.production?

  def perform
      begin        
        do_process()
      rescue => e
        puts "Error message: #{e.message}"      
      end
  end

  def do_process()
    puts 'The worker  !!'
  end
end

application.rb

config.eager_load_paths += %W(#{config.root}/app/workers)

You don't need to add directories to load paths in application.rb if you defined you worker classes in app/* folder of rails. Rails will automatically load those file.

If you have defined your classes somewhere else e.g. in the lib/worker/* folder then you need to add this into your application.rb

config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib/workers)
config.eager_load_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib/workers)

Along with this your issue might be running processes of sidekiq. You can see your sidekiq processes(ps aux | grep sidekiq) and kill those. Then restart the worker.
