Arask

Automatic RAils taSKs (with minimal setup).

The interval starts when the task has started running. If a task with the interval :hourly is run at 08:37PM, then it will run the next time at 09:37PM.

Usage

After installation, you can edit config/initializers/arask.rb with your tasks.

Examples

arask.create script: 'puts "IM ALIVE!"', interval: :daily, run_first_time: true
arask.create script: 'Attachment.process_new', interval: 5.hours if Rails.env.production?
# Run rake task:
arask.create task: 'my:awesome_task', interval: :hourly

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'arask'

Execute:

$ bundle install
$ rails generate arask:install
$ rails db:migrate

Setup your tasks in config/initializers/arask.rb.

Todos

Be able to setup error handling. For instance in initializer: arask.on_fail email: '[email protected]'
Have a "try again" feature. For instance arask.create script: 'raise "I failed"', interval: :daily, fail_retry: 5.minutes, retry_at_most: 2

Caveats

If you reload a database dump, your jobs could be run again.
