Error on stop: cannot load such file -- daemons/rails/config (LoadError)

[russkuhn]

Just installed this gem and I love what it does. Thank you for creating it. Using just the simple_daemon created by your generator, when I start the daemon everything is fine, logging every 10 seconds. But when I stop it (./lib/daemons/simple_daemon_ctl stop), it creates the log file log/simple_daemon.rb.log containing the errors:

The only change I made to the generated code was commenting out Rails.logger.auto_flushing = true because I use log4r. Everything seems to work, but it would be better not to have errors in the log file.

I'm using rvm, ruby 2.0.0p247, and Rails 4.0.0.

Solution1

Exec touch log/simple_daemon.rb.log before Daemons::Rails.run config[:script], config.to_hash.

Solution2

Set config[:logfilename] = "#{ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development'}.log" before Daemons::Rails.run config[:script], config.to_hash.
