Dynosaur

Run a rake task in a separate process (locally or on Heroku)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dynosaur'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dynosaur

Usage

Dynosaur::Client::HerokuClient.configure do |config|
  config.app_name = '<Heroku app name>'
  config.api_key = '<Heroku API key>'
end

dyno = Dynosaur::Process::Heroku.new(task: 'session:destroy', args: [2500])
dyno.start
# => run.9876

local_process = Dynosaur::Process::Local.new(task: 'session:destroy', args: [2500])
local_process.start
# => 48345

You can also check to see if a similar rake task is already running before starting the task (e.g. if you want at most one instance of that task running concurrently)

dyno = Dynosaur::Process::Heroku.new(task: 'session:destroy', args: [2500])
dyno.start unless dyno.running?

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
