sidekiq doesn't pick up the configuration file in the default location

Question

Sidekiq failed to start with default configuration file in config/sidekiq.yml.

---
:pidfile: tmp/pids/sidekiq.pid
:logfile: log/sidekiq.log

While running the bundle exec sidekiq -d in a rails application root, it reports error:

You really should set a logfile if you're going to daemonize.
/home/canoe/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@rails4/gems/sidekiq-2.17.2/lib/sidekiq/cli.rb:141:in `daemonize'
/home/canoe/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@rails4/gems/sidekiq-2.17.2/lib/sidekiq/cli.rb:39:in `parse'
/home/canoe/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@rails4/gems/sidekiq-2.17.2/bin/sidekiq:7:in `<top (required)>'
/home/canoe/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@rails4/bin/sidekiq:23:in `load'
/home/canoe/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@rails4/bin/sidekiq:23:in `<main>'

However, this should work according to the wiki since the config file is in the default path.

What's wrong here?

Answer 1

Ok. this was a bug in 2.17.2 , use 2.17.7 version. That's all.
