Crontab issue with the Redmine application

visuharsha · 11-13-2017, 07:23 AM

Good evening,

I've configured a redmine 3.0 application in our environment, everything went successful and we started using the environment

I've configured the issues_reminder plugin which generates all the issues and will send to a particular mail id if configured in the dashboard, for that a crontab is needed to be implemented, i've written a script for that

the script is :

source /home/centos/.rvm/environments/ruby-2.2.5@global

cd /var/www/redmine
/home/centos/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.5/bin/rake reminder:exec RAILS_ENV="production"

when the script is running without crontab i'm getting the process done without errors, but if i run the same script using the crontab i'm getting the error as

" rake aborted!
LoadError: cannot load such file -- bundler/setup
/var/www/redmine/config/boot.rb:4:in `<top (required)>'
/var/www/redmine/config/application.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
/var/www/redmine/Rakefile:5:in `<top (required)>'
/home/centos/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.5@global/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `eval'
/home/centos/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.5@global/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>' "

please help me, i'm working on it from long time

Probably you need to execute this script in root user mode in the cron job. also i feel you need to set the envirionment variable for Loading bundler/setup or define the entire path.

For Comparison...

# Redmine 7day reminders...

Code:

00 09 * * Mon /var/www/html/extra/issue_reminders.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

issue_reminders.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
cd /var/www/html/; /usr/bin/bundle exec rake redmine:send_reminders days=7 RAILS_ENV="production"

Running redmine 3.20 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

Your path to the rake exec looks "off", that is

Code:

/home/centos/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.5/bin/rake

and I don't believe it's an "OS thing".

You could try adding a similar statement such as the one I've used, in your cron environment...

Code:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Verify executable using whereis (or locate on CentOS...)

Code:

whereis rake bundle ruby

Hope that helps.

Most often the issue will be related to using absolute path name. Check all executable has absolute path not using relative paths.
