Scheduled Dynamic Resque Scheduler never launches worker

While using resque-scheduler to set_schedule dynamic cron jobs based on user's input the schedules seem to be set but the worker never actually starts at the set schedule.

In the Resque configuration dynamic is set to true like so: Resque::Scheduler.dynamic = true And I am setting the schedule like so:

  name = business.name + '_employee_import'
  config = {}
  config[:class] = 'ImporterWorker'
  config[:args] = business.id.to_s
  config[:cron] = cron_converter
  config[:persist] = true
  Resque.set_schedule(name, config) 

If I do in the command line:

  Resque.get_schedule("business_employee_import") 

I get:

  {"class"=>"MyWorker", "args"=>"87", "cron"=>"19 18 * * * *"}

But come 6:19pm the worker does not start. I have a worker running but the job never gets picked up and I have no idea why or how to troubleshoot. It seems to me this should work. I have also tried updating resque-scheduler to the latest release, no luck yet.

Thanks for any help in advanced.

I actually solved my issue by using the following commands:

bundle exec rake environment resque:work bundle exec rake resque:scheduler

Turns out by not using Bundle Exec the schedule would not get picked up. I have not tried the environment variable command up there, but I will tomorrow and if that works out I'll give you the points.

You probably forgot to start the scheduler with the DYNAMIC_SCHEDULE environment variable set to true.

Here is the command I use to start the scheduler:

DYNAMIC_SCHEDULE=true rake resque:scheduler

Quote from README:

DYNAMIC_SCHEDULE - Enables dynamic scheduling if non-empty (default false)

Make sure you have queue task running. So your scheduled task will get picked up by the queue.

QUEUE=* rake resque:work

Set the cron job and try again after issuing that command
