Cron not installing exec runner by hand throws errors

[HavocStyles]

Ubuntu 9.10 server. Everything works great except for reports. Reports not being generated because the crons have not been setup. To try and get the crons installed I did the following

$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
$ gem install javan-whenever
$ rake whenever --update-crontab snorby --set environment=production

which produces no output nor adding the crons.

exec $ ./runner -e production "Event.run_daily_report" throws the following errors.

/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/commands/runner.rb:48: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in gem_original_require': no such file to load -- prawn/format (MissingSourceFile) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:inrequire'

Did I miss a step? I'm pretty new to ruby stuff so any help would be great.

Eric,

sudo gem install prawn-format

That should do the trick.

I'll throw up a howto for Ubuntu 9.10 once this gets sorted =)

Hey Dustin,

Sorry been busy for a bit, but I did a clean install and the crons are still not being added, and when I click on convert an event to pdf it throws a 500 error

ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `tags' for #<Prawn::Document:0xb68df584>)  on line #4 of app/views/events/show.pdf.prawn:

I think this might be related to "prawn" again I'm very new to ruby.

@HavocStyles This is a strange error much like Ticket: 18. What version of prawn do you currently have installed also what distro are you using.

[HavocStyles]

Hmmm I'll take a look at #18 here is the system info

Ubuntu 9.10 -> 2.6.31-18-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu SMP
Ruby1.8       -> Version: 1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1

Hmmmm found something I think. I did a bit of googling and found a thread which they were talking about prawn environment/initializers, so I went looking for a prawn.rb file in the snorby dir.

find ./ -iname 'prawn*'
./vendor/gems/prawn-0.5.0.1
./vendor/gems/prawn-0.5.0.1/lib/prawn.rb
./vendor/plugins/prawnto
./vendor/plugins/prawnto/tasks/prawnto_tasks.rake
./vendor/plugins/prawnto/lib/prawnto.rb
./vendor/plugins/prawnto/lib/prawnto

So I see the ./vendor/gems/prawn-0.5.0.1 version but as you see above when I do a gem list --local we see prawn (0.7.2, 0.7.1) but from my 500 error we can see snorby trying to use 7.2 version, could be conflicts maybe? Or environment/initializer issue? Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers,
Eric

@HavocStyles check my workaround in http://github.com/mephux/Snorby/issuesearch?state=open&q=pdf#issue/18/comment/179396
