Gemfile not found when running Cron job with Capistrano 3 and whenever gem

[Set2005]

My cron job works fine on my local machine after running whenever -w, after deploy to my VPS, I get this error, release 20150415044915 doesn't exist. any idea?

I looked at my crontab -e, the path also looks fine where 20150502114703 is the correct release:

0 1 * * 1 /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/hey_production/releases/20150502114703 && bin/rails runner ....

How do I setup BUNDLE_GEMFILE in my schedule.rb file?

I have a similar issue since two weeks (started around May, 11th). And maybe a fix at the end of my comment.

That's one line in my crontab:

7 0 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/christian/apps/happinessmetric/releases/20150526195213 && bin/rails runner -e production '\''SystemMailer.delay.statistics'\'''

And if I run it in a shell:

/bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/christian/apps/happinessmetric/releases/20150526195213 && bin/rails runner -e production '\''SystemMailer.delay.statistics'\'''

I get an error:

/home/christian/apps/happinessmetric/releases/20141222191928/Gemfile not found

The Gemfile is there, the timestamp is my current release.

So I tried to add bundle exec to bin/rails runner:

/bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/christian/apps/happinessmetric/releases/20150526195213 && bundle exec bin/rails runner -e production '\''SystemMailer.delay.statistics'\'''

And it works (with the usual complaining from Bundler about bin stubs

Looks like your app's ./bin/rails is a stub that was generated by Bundler.

And the fix is: customize your job_type, I added this line on top of my config/schedule.rb

job_type :runner,  "cd :path && bundle exec bin/rails runner -e :environment ':task' :output"

I have no idea why it broke two weeks ago, but now it's working for me.

Also have a look into that issue:
capistrano/bundler#45

I also followed this advice:
capistrano/bundler#45 (comment)
