Whenever: Cron jobs by Ruby DSL

In this article, I would like to share whenever which provides a clear syntax for writing and deploying cron jobs.

🐞 Set PATH for cron job

If you want to add PATH for cron job, please write as follows:

require './config/environment.rb'

set :environment_variable, 'RAILS_ENV'
set :environment, Rails.env

# Set Path
set :path, Rails.root.to_s

# Set log file path
set :output, 'log/crontab.log'

# Set PATH for cron job and MAIL_TO
set :env, { 'PATH' => '/xxx/bin:$PATH', 'MAILTO' => 'xxx@example.com' }

every 1.hours do
  # do_something
end

🎉 Special Thanks
