Try this one if not solved with bundle

* * * * * /bin/bash -l -c "cd ~/home/path/application && RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake namespacefolder:rake_file"

/bin/bash

Specify which program to use for executing the command

-c

Read and execute commands from the first non-option argument after processing the options, then exit. Any remaining arguments are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0.

-l

Make this shell act as if it had been directly invoked by login. When the shell is interactive, this is equivalent to starting a login shell with ‘exec -l bash’. When the shell is not interactive, the login shell startup files will be executed. ‘exec bash -l’ or ‘exec bash --login’ will replace the current shell with a Bash login shell. See Bash Startup Files, for a description of the special behavior of a login shell.

Cron passes only minimal set of environment variables to your jobs. See here!

Add -lc option to bash for cron execution to use your login environment and set environment path at the top of your crontab.

PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin
* * * * * /bin/bash -lc "cd ~/home/path/application && RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake namespacefolder:rake_file"
