Question

In my controller I am trying to execute a ruby script:

def mymethod
  variable = `ruby /home/user/Test.rb`
  exec variable
  raise "Failed: #{variable}" unless variable.blank?
end

Test.rb script is present in the mentioned path, even then i get an error:

Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - )

The Test.rb content:

require 'rubygems'
require 'net/smtp'
require 'pp'
require 'mysql'
require 'yaml'
message = "MESSAGE_END
G Name <MyEmailAddress>
To: G Name <MyEmailAddress>
Subject: SMTP e-mail test
This is a test mail"
Net::SMTP.start('webserver') do |smtp|
smtp.send_message message, 'EmailAddress', 'EmailAddress'
end

When I manually run this script. It sends the mail as expected.

Answer 1

You have to

require 'open-uri'

So,

require '/home/user/Test.rb'  
require 'open-uri'  # sometimes without this line, we get the exact error message in ruby on rails..

(or)

Try to reboot your server, sometimes its fix it..
