I am using Rufus Scheduler to call a function once every 2 minutes.
In development mode when running rufus scheduler with WEBrick the system works as expected and my function is called every 2 minutes.
When I deploy to our production server which runs passenger and NGINX the scheduler does not call the function anymore.
I am assuming this is to do with threads, with the scheduler running on a separate thread that might be getting destroyed on our production server.
I have seen answers for similar issues when using Passenger and Apache together, but I am unable to come up with a solution for running rufus scheduler with passenger and NGINX in production mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
Code below setting up rufus
# :nocov:
require 'rufus-scheduler'
include TwitterParser
unless ENV['NODAEMON'] || Rails.env != 'production'
scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.new
TwitterParser.set_up
scheduler.every '2m' do
begin
TwitterParser.parse_tweets
rescue Twitter::Error::TooManyRequests => error
puts 'Too Many Twitter requests, resets in: ' + error.rate_limit.reset_in.to_s
end
end
end
