This only works for the default environment. If you try to change the environment with a -e argument, the require seems to load a different runner and fails when it tries to parse the -e option.

E.g., ruby script/runner "require 'action_controller/integration'; app = ActionController::Integration::Session.new; app.get('account/send_newsletters');" For what its worth, you can put the “require …” line in the script runner line.

E.g., ruby script/runner “require ‘action_controller/integration’; app = ActionController::Integration::Session.new; app.get(‘account/send_newsletters’);”

I was having problems with the Rails gem not being found. Turns out, although Ade's comment got me almost there, I still had to set my GEM_PATH. GEM_HOME is where RubyGems writes to, but GEM_PATH is where gem (and therefore Rails, when rubygems in included) reads from. My final ended up looking like this: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/deploy/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8 export GEM_HOME=$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems export GEM_PATH=$GEM_PATH:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 # This is how I figured out it was broken: #gem query cd /var/www/apps/bunnies/current echo "Doing work..." # Output is not important, as it's non-informative.

I was having problems with the Rails gem not being found. Turns out, although Ade’s comment got me almost there, I still had to set my GEM_PATH.

GEM_HOME is where RubyGems writes to, but GEM_PATH is where gem (and therefore Rails, when rubygems in included) reads from.

My final ended up looking like this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/deploy/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8

export GEM_HOME=$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems
export GEM_PATH=$GEM_PATH:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

# This is how I figured out it was broken:
#gem query

cd /var/www/apps/bunnies/current

echo “Doing work…”
# Output is not important, as it’s non-informative. Check production.log in the app
./script/runner -e production ‘Model.some_method’ > /dev/null
echo “Done.”
