I have a rails rake task which runs just fine. I want this task to be run periodically by crontab so I added it to crontab as follows : 0,30,0 * * * * cd /var/www/html/myapp && RAILS_ENV=production /usr/local/bin/rake myraketask --trace >> /var/www/html/myapp/log/cron_log.log 2>&1
In cron_log.log I'm seeing the following error: rake aborted! invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:98:in `parse_gem_version' /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:80:in `gem_version' /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:59:in `load_rails_gem' /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:54:in `load_initializer' /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:38:in `run' /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:11:in `boot!' /var/www/html/metajorn/config/boot.rb:110:in `<top (required)>' /var/www/html/metajorn/Rakefile:4:in `require' /var/www/html/metajorn/Rakefile:4:in `<top (required)>' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2383:in `load' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2383:in `raw_load_rakefile' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2017:in `block in load_rakefile' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2068:in `standard_exception_handling' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2016:in `load_rakefile' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2000:in `block in run' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2068:in `standard_exception_handling' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:1998:in `run' /usr/local/bin/rake:31:in `<main>' It is noteworthy that the task is working fine if I run it manually.
