How to run script/runner (Rails) without jruby installation

Hi,

I deliver a Rails project to my client as a single WAR-package. It
works great, the client does not need to install anything but the JEE
servers they already have.

Now, I need to set up a cron task that can be run using with the
following script:

export RAILS_ENV=production
export CLASSPATH=./lib/ojdbc14.jar
export GEM_PATH=./gems/
jruby -S script/runner “Nightly.run”

It works fine, but requires the client to install jruby. Much nicer
solution would use the jruby bundled within the war package. I could
not get it working, because I will get:

Rails requires RubyGems >= . Please install RubyGems and try again:
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org

The script I use:

export RAILS_ENV=production
export CLASSPATH=./lib/ojdbc14.jar:./lib/jruby-complete-1.1.4.jar
export GEM_PATH=./gems/
java org.jruby.Main -w -S script/runner “Nightly.run”

I also tried:

java -jar /lib/jruby-complete-1.1.4.jar -S script/runner
“Nightly.run”

But the same error occurs (and I cannot use environment variables at
all with the -jar option)

I’m sure there’s the solution, but cannot figure out what is is. Any
ideas?

If you can, upgrade to jruby-complete-1.1.6.jar. It will detect
rubygems out of the complete jar automatically. Otherwise, your runner
scripts look pretty reasonable to me.

If I use jruby-complete-1.1.6.jar with…

  java org.jruby.Main -w -S script/runner "Nightly.run"

…I will get something like this (did not happen with 1.1.4)…

 :1: ./script/runner:1: unknown regexp options - rr (SyntaxError)

…but if I use…

java -jar /lib/jruby-complete-1.1.4.jar -S script/runner

“Nightly.run”

…it seem to load Rails gems, great! I will encounter another
problem, however:

The driver encountered an error: cannot load Java class

oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

So it does not find the jar I defined in the CLASSPATH.

More ideas?

It might be a bit heavyweight for your needs, but in my project I’ve
used the Quartz Scheduler to do this entirely within the container.

http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/

I used the quartz-jruby-plugin from here to hook it into Rails:
http://github.com/macarthy/mirror-quartz-jruby-plugin/tree/master

You specify cron-like schedules and commands to be run in your
web.xml.erb, and it all gets bundled up correctly by Warbler.

An odd error. Just for kicks can you try it without -S? I.e., `java
org.jruby.Main -w script/runner “Nightly.run”'.

So it does not find the jar I defined in the CLASSPATH.
Yes. CLASSPATH is unfortunately ignored when using the -jar form. You
can add the driver to the load path like so:

java -jar /lib/jruby-complete-1.1.4.jar -r./lib/ojdbc14.jar
script/runner “Nightly.run”

Recent as in 1.1.6, or more recent than that? I definitely have
something based on that code working on 1.1.6 now, though I think I
made some minor local modifications - would have to check.

Here’s the Github repo of Christian Müller’s Quartz Scheduler, updated to
work with recent versions of JRuby:

Shall take a look, thanks! At some point I do want to get the
clustered scheduler mode to work, so I’ll have to look at this again.

Chris.

I’ve never had this working on anything more recently than 1.0.1. I
think
the way it uses getRuby() changed and broke the Java part of
jruby_quartz.
