Workers constantl

Answer 1

After doing a bit of research / trial and error. For anyone who is coming across the same issue. To clarify what gc mentioned.

Resque.after_fork = Proc.new { ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection }

Above code should be placed in: /lib/tasks/resque.rake

For example:

require 'resque/tasks'

task "resque:setup" => :environment do
  ENV['QUEUE'] = '*'

  Resque.after_fork do |job|
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
  end

end

desc "Alias for resque:work (To run workers on Heroku)"
task "jobs:work" => "resque:work"

Hope this helps someone, as much as it did for me.
