Rake Cron job error

Above cron throws an error "bash: bundle: command not found..."

The command works just fine from the command line

Any help will be appreciated.

Any context about what you are trying to do before jumping straight into the code? - Darin Dimitrov
I would assume the user, as which the cron job runs does not know about the command bundle or has no access to it. - scones
Trying to rake a task in rails. See my comments above I am able to run it from my command line without any issues but not from the cron. - PackedUp

Okay so I got this working. Cron does not load the profile settings. I had to load the bash_profile as part of the commands and now it works.

I faced the same problem.

I had solved it when set correct RVM path in CRON:

** * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/alex/Projects/my_app && source ~/.bash_profile && rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194-perf && bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=development my_tasks --silent >> /tmp/cron_log.log 2>&1'

I also had the same issue when I set up cron on the AWS EC2 server. It was resolved by setting bundle path explicitly in the config/schedule.rb file.

set :bundle_command, "/usr/local/bin/bundle exec"

This creates entry in the cron like: 

30 1 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd <app_path> && RAILS_ENV=beta /usr/local/bin/bundle exec rake 'task_name' --silent >> log/cron.log 2>&1'
