En./config/initializers He creado un archivo llamadotask_scheduler.rb y contiene el siguiente código:

require 'rufus-scheduler'
require 'mechanize'

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.new

scheduler.every("1h") do
    puts "Starting Rufus Scheduler - Task 1 - Checking exampleShop for new orders"

    a = Mechanize.new

    a.get('http://exampleshop.nl/admin/') do |page|

        # Select the login form
        login_form = page.forms.first

        # Insert the username and password
        login_form.username = 'username'
        login_form.password = 'password'

        # Submit the login information
        dashboard_page = a.submit(login_form, login_form.buttons.first)

        # Check if the login was successfull
        puts check_1 = dashboard_page.title == 'Dashboard' ?  "CHECK 1 DASHBOARD SUCCESS" : "CHECK 1 DASHBOARD FAIL"

        # Visit the orders index page to scrape some standard information
        orders_page = a.click(dashboard_page.link_with(:text => /Bestellingen/))

        # pp orders_page # => http://pastebin.com/L3zASer6

        # Check if the visit is successful
        puts check_2 = orders_page.title == 'Bestellingen' ?  "CHECK 2 ORDERS SUCCESS" : "CHECK 2 ORDERS FAIL"

        # Search for all #singleOrder table row's and put them in variable all_single_orders
        all_single_orders = orders_page.search("#singleOrder") 

        # Scrape the needed information (the actual save to database is omitted)
        all_single_orders.each do |order|
            # Set links for each order
            order_link = order.at_css("a")['href']  #Assuming first link in row

            @order_id = order.search("#orderId").text                   
            @order_status = order.search("#orderStatus").text       
            @order_revenue = order.search("#orderAmount").text      

            # Visit a single order page to fetch more detailed information
            single_order_page = orders_page.link_with(:href => order_link).click

            @first_name = single_order_page.search(".firstName").text
            @last_name = single_order_page.search(".lastName").text
            @city = single_order_page.search(".city").text
            @postal_code = single_order_page.search(".postalCode").text
            @address = single_order_page.search(".address").text
            @email = single_order_page.search(".email").text
            @order_quantity = single_order_page.search(".orderQuantity").text

            order = Order.create(   order_id: @order_id, first_name: @first_name, last_name: @last_name, city: @city,
                                                        email: @email, postal_code: @postal_code, address: @address, order_quantity: @order_quantity,
                                                        order_revenue: @order_revenue, order_status: @order_status)
        end
    end

    puts "Ending Rufus Scheduler - Task 1 - Checking exampleShop for new orders"
end

losrufus-scheduler Funciona cuando se prueba en un entorno de desarrollo. Pero deja de funcionar cuando despliegue la aplicación en Heroku (gratis).

Estoy usandoPhusion Passenger 4.0.27 como el servidor de aplicaciones.

Mi Gemfile se ve así:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby '2.0.0'
gem 'rails', '4.0.1'
gem 'rufus-scheduler', '3.0.2'
gem 'pg'
gem 'mechanize'
gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '3.1.2'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 1.2'
gem 'newrelic_rpm'

group :doc do
  gem 'sdoc', require: false
end

group :development do
    gem 'sqlite3'
end

group :production do
    gem 'rails_12factor'
    gem 'passenger'
    gem 'pg'
end

losProcfile requerido por Phusion Passenger contiene lo siguiente:

web: bundle exec passenger start -p $PORT --max-pool-size 3

No tengo trabajadores corriendo. Estoy usando un estándar gratisweb Dyno.

Alguna idea de por quérufus-scheduler ¿No está funcionando mientras está desplegado en Heroku?

ACTUALIZAR

Sé que podría crear un cliente.rake archiva y usa el libreHeroku Scheduler add-on para ejecutar la tarea. Pero me pregunto si hay una manera de obtener elrufus-scheduler y gratisheroku Combinación de dinamómetro para trabajar.
