Heroku worker dyno keeps crashing cannot start with Resque

Question

My Heroku worker keeps on crashing whenver I do restart it crashes within 5 seconds.

Below is my Procfile:

resque: env TERM_CHILD=1 bundle exec rake resque:work
resque: env TERM_CHILD=1 RESQUE_TERM_TIMEOUT=7 bundle exec rake resque:work

I'm trying to get Resque work on the system but also unsure that if Resque process even started on the server. Locally I would do:

rake resque:work QUEUE=* and this work work perfectly.

Is there a reason why my Worker Dyno keeps on crashing also a way to check if resque is running successfully?

Answer 1

You can type:

heroku ps

Which will tell you what processes are running at any given time.

heroku logs

That will obviously give you detailed information about what's happening. Copy in your log file and I bet someone will be able to fix it for you. My guess is you're seeing a does not exist error in there somewhere, which is something I ran into :)
