Question

I have a Rails 3.x application with Resque. I run the resque command with:

nohup rake RAILS_ENV=production environment resque:work QUEUE='*' & >>/tmp/resque.log 2>> /tmp/resque.err.log

Every other day the process dies, but the two output files are always empty. Any other way of figuring out why the Resque process goes down?

Answer 1

Try the super awesome Pry console. This is similar to irb only much more advanced.

You can use binding.pry inside your perform method or preferably in a hook which will start up a pry console using which you can debug. Helped me in similar situations a lot.
