Scheduled tasks not working

[ermak83]

Hello, I just installed scumblr on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, following the wiki at https://github.com/Netflix/Scumblr/wiki/Setting-up-Scumblr-2.0-%28New-install%29. All seem fine except scheduled tasks, which do not run. When I start sidekiq I have the following output:

ubuntu@graylog:~/Scumblr$ bundle exec sidekiq

Why redis url is nil and why schedule is empty? Is that normal?

Thank you for the support

Hi @ermak83,

Just to double check, did you setup a cron job to sync the tasks? More information can be found here:

https://github.com/Netflix/Scumblr/wiki/Tasks#automatic-syncing

[ermak83]

If I run (or schedule via cron) the command "rake run_tasks" they are instantly executed, but I would like to use the more granular feature "Schedule selected tasks to run every DD:HH:MM", which atm seems not working.

@sk3tch Have you seen any issues with this feature? I don't believe we use it currently.

I tried this out and it's also not working, we'll open an issue and look into a fix.
