Foreman Gem with Sunspot does not start

Question

Anyone has issues with the foreman gem ( loads your rake tasks and deamons from 1 command ) with sunspot gem? I always have to manually start sunspot because Foreman does say it loads it but it isn't

Always have to manually run this command to get sunspot/solr to start:

bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:start

anyone knows a way to make it load true foreman?

Answer 1

Adding

search: bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:run

to your Procfile should start Solr when running foreman. It requires processes to be start in foreground. rake sunspot:solr:start immediately exits after starting Solr in background and foreman assumes that the process died.
