I'm trying to run ruby code with cron job and I'm using whenever
gem.
Here is my simple code in .rb file
require "watir"
require "selenium-webdriver"
browser = Watir::Browser.start('https://www.google.com',:firefox)
sleep 5
browser.close
my crontab -l output is:
PATH=/home/ba/bin:/home/ba/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

# End Whenever generated tasks for: /home/ba/Desktop/RoR/site_p/config/schedule.rb at: 2018-04-12 16:47:41 +0400
cron1.log shows this:

gem 'watir' gem 'selenium-webdriver'
same error comes when I try to run cron job whith rails runner
code runs fine from terminal. *problem is only when i try to run it with cron job ! *
Also I try without whenever gem. Even with fresh ubuntu 16, ruby and rails.
cron was losing DISPLAY environment variable while executing.
adding ENV['DISPLAY'] = ":0" this to my script fixed my case
details:
new log:

I saw this: Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified
because driver worked fine from shell and rails ci run this to find correct value for DISPLAY echo $DISPLAY or from rails c puts ENV['DISPLAY'] result was ":0"
so I add this to my script and problem was solved
ENV['DISPLAY'] = ":0"
thanks a lot for good advices stackoverflow is super
