ActiveJob: Generate sitemap in response to content generation

Question

In my Rails 4.2 app, I'm using sitemap_generator gem to generate sitemaps. And use Heroku scheduler to execute the rake task. I think it'd be better if the sitemap is generated when there is new content or execute a manual action from admin panel by clicking a button to generate sitemap and ping search engines.

So, in my ActiveJob, I'm executing following in background Job Rake::Task['sitemap:refresh'].invoke

But it gives me the error that it doesn't know, how to build this task.

RuntimeError: Don't know how to build task 'sitemap:refresh' (see --tasks)

Thanks,

What does `heroku run bin/rake --tasks | grep 'sitemaps'` give you? — max, Apr 15 '17 at 18:21
I managed to solve it by `%x(bundle exec rake sitemap:refresh)` — lightsaber, Apr 15 '17 at 18:34

Seems like the issue is the rake tasks are not loaded. You can first load the tasks and then invoke. Something listed below should help:

NameOfYourApp::Application.load_tasks
Rake::Task['sitemap:refresh'].invoke
