Can the missile task to Herek time out?

I am using Heroku and would like to have a script (on another server) called via cron that periodically requests an action in my Heroku application. This action, in turn, will lead to some processing, which can take 1 or 2 minutes. I believe Heroku has a 30 second request limit, I thought you could instead invoke the Rake task from my action with the controller.

Will this work? I'm curious if anyone else has tried this.

Thanks.

I would recommend using a background job for the worker for this work. Then your batch process should have started the worker, no matter how long the process has gone.

The rake task will work until you use the HTTP request as a proxy server to run the task. In fact, if the task forks out from the HTTP request, the timeout will be the same from the HTTP request.

You need a different method to run the task. Either crontab (on Heroku's side) or Worker as good solutions.

I just created a pearl to solve this particular problem. This allows you to queue any rake task as a delayed_job, for example.

rake delay:db:seed

which will execute

 rake db:seed

like delayed_job. You can find it at http://rubygems.org/gems/delayed_task or http://blog.opsb.co.uk/long-running-rake-tasks-on-heroku .
