Cant start resque worker

Question

I've installed resque gem, gem install resque .

And I tried to start the workers :

bundle exec rake environment resque:work

Resulting in :

rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'resque:work' (see --tasks)

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

When I do rake -T no resque tasks appear, what am I going wrong here?

Answer 1

1. You should put the resque gem into the Gemfile instead of installing it directly.

2. Installation documentation (as of the time of writing) says that...

To start a worker, add this to a file in lib/tasks (ex: lib/tasks/resque.rake):

 require 'resque/tasks'
