I'm having some trouble getting whenever to work in my local dev environment. I'm using mac OS 10.12, ruby 2.4, rails 5.1 and whenever 0.10.0.
I have my schedule.rb file setup as:
set :environment, "development"
set :job_template, "TZ=\"America/Los_Angeles\" bash -l -c ':job'"
set :output, Whenever.path + "/log/cron.log"
every 5.minutes do
runner "Test.new.run"
command "/bin/echo 'Is this working?'"
end
crontab -l outputs the following:
# Begin Whenever generated tasks for: /Users/me/apps/Test/config/schedule.rb at: 2018-05-25 12:59:14 -0700
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * TZ="America/Los_Angeles" bash -l -c 'cd /Users/me/apps/Test && bundle exec bin/rails runner -e development '\''Test.new.run'\'' >> /Users/me/apps/Test/log/cron.log 2>&1'
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * TZ="America/Los_Angeles" bash -l -c '/bin/echo '\''Is this working?'\'' >> /Users/me/apps/Test/log/cron.log 2>&1'
# End Whenever generated tasks for: /Users/me/apps/Test/config/schedule.rb at: 2018-05-25 12:59:14 -0700
and I'm receiving the following when I run the mail command in terminal:

However, I'm not seeing anything output to cron.log nor does the DB reflect any activity from Test.new.run
Not really sure what I'm doing wrong...
I think the problem may have had to do with rvm and the .rvmrc file I had set up which loaded the correct rvm settings when I cd into the directory.
In attempting to ensure that the command was working opened a new terminal window and ran: bash -l -c 'cd /Users/me/apps/Test && bundle exec bin/rails runner -e development '\''Test.new.run'\'' >> /Users/me/apps/Test/log/cron.log 2>&1'
The first thing that came up was the standard 1 off rvm message:
You are using '.rvmrc', it requires trusting, it is slower and it is not compatible with other ruby managers,
you can switch to '.ruby-version' using 'rvm rvmrc to ruby-version'
or ignore this warning with 'rvm rvmrc warning ignore /Users/me/apps/Test/.rvmrc',
'.rvmrc' will continue to be the default project file in RVM 1 and RVM 2,
to ignore the warning for all files run 'rvm rvmrc warning ignore all.rvmrcs'.

Once I typed y and hit enter, the cron jobs are now executing properly.
Unfortunately, I'm still not seeing anything in my cron.log file.
