CakeResque plugin not working

Question

I am trying to use CakeResque plugin in cakephp 2.4 and follow all installation instruction as per link

http://kamisama.me/2012/10/16/background-jobs-with-php-and-resque-part-6-integration-into-cakephp/

When I fire command

cake CakeResque.CakeResque start

Getting error

Error: Class CakeResqueShell could not be loaded.

Any help appreciated

Thank you

Answer 1

You have to load the CakeResque plugin into your CakePHP app first.

In your app/Config/bootstrap.php, make sure that the plugin is loaded with

CakePlugin::load('CakeResque' => array('bootstrap' => true));

or with

CakePlugin::loadAll('CakeResque' => array('bootstrap' => true));

the bootstrap key is needed to load resque settings. (you can also specify a path to your own bootstrap file instead of true)

If that still does not work, maybe you're not using the "right" cake shell. You seems to use

cake CakeResque.CakeResque start

Just make sure that the cake command in your environment is the one inside you app. Test that:

cd path-to/app/Console
./cake CakeResque.CakeResque start

It it still doesn't work, you're welcome to report your issue in CakeResque issues tracker.

This is not the only way to workout, you will have to configure Fresque to work with php-resque-Ex.
