I'm having an issue with trying to use the whenever gem to schedule a job.

I've installed the gem, and created the schedule.rb file, with a job to run at '11:00 pm'. However, from my understanding I need to run 

whenever --update-crontab

But this just returns

No such file or directory - crontab

I've tried googling this but I can't see any other people having this issue and it doesn't say on the gem information about it. Where should this crontab file be? Or does it exist somewhere else?

set :output, "log/development.log"
every 1.day, at: '11:00 pm' do
  runner "CarRental.renew"
end

  • Whenever is just an abstraction for crontab service. Run crontab -e on your computer. Maybe the crontab service is not running or there's another problem with it. Your schedule.rb seems fine – cesartalves Apr 14 '20 at 13:20
  • so running crontab -e returns ```"/tmp/crontab.VVzlVURPxS" 0L, 0C``` . But should this file be within my sublime folder? – b.herring Apr 14 '20 at 13:33
