How can I find out why delayed_job is failing?

Delayed_job is failing silently. The only message in the log is:

2011-05-09T00:06:03-0400: [Worker(delayed_job host:me.local pid:13603)] Starting job worker

and that's it. Nothing else.

Interestingly enough, running it in the foreground with:

rake jobs:work

works just fine. Does anyone know what I can do to figure this out?

Solution

  • I was having difficulty passing the environment.

    Apparently -e does nothing now.

    ./script/delayed_job start RAILS_ENV=staging

    did not work. Still runs in dev mode.

    This worked:

    RAILS_ENV=staging ./script/delayed_job start

    worked just fine.
