Rails runner without spring
If you want to keep spring in general, you can temporarily disable spring for a single command by prefixing it with the DISABLE_SPRING
environment variable:
DISABLE_SPRING=1 bin/rails runner -e production 'MyJob.perform_later'
This happens because you are using the spring
gem and your bin
folder has been "springified".
If you take a look in the bin/rails
file you will see that spring
is loaded before moving on with running whatever you requested from it.
You could "un-springify" your bin folder by running
bin/spring binstub --remove --all
This would mean of course that you opt out from all performance benefits that spring provides you. This should be OK for production environments. In fact, it is recommended that you do not install spring in your production environments [1].
So I suggest that you modify your Gemfile
and place spring
under the development
group. In production you usually do something like:
bundle install --without development test
That way spring will never make it to your production servers. See also this related issue on Github.
