The block starting begin needs a single end, a more complete (though not exhaustive) syntax precis might be begin...rescue...ensure...end –Neil Slater Sep 24 '13 at 10:34 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote You are missing an end for your class. share|improve this answer answered Sep 24 '13 at 10:35 Steve Robinson 1,98721734 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Try to use consistent tags/spaces when you write your code. And there is one "end" missing in the end of your file (that kEND) means. class AdAssistedController < CommonController def initialize super @pageJs = ['ad_assisted'] @pageCS

Per Jeff Perrin's suggestions below i created the following configuration. I updated this question with the final solution for others that are struggling to get a daemon working. For debugging purposes rails syntax error I cut my lib/pulse_check_email.rb file down to this: class PulseCheckEmail def self.send_pulse_check_mail # removed all conditional statements and other "stuff" to debug end end My lib/daemons/mailer.rb file: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../config/environment" require 'pulse_check_email' while($running) do PulseCheckEmail.send_pulse_check_mail sleep 300 # 5 min end Thanks for your help! ruby-on-rails daemon share|improve this question edited Dec 1 '11 at 4:52 asked Nov 29 '11 at 21:17 Jay 2,75283568 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Regardless of whether you can call a controller method from a daemon in your Rails application, this is not something I would recommend. I would suggest that you extract the code that is currently in the send_mail action of the controller into a separate class (that could be put in the /lib directory as well). Then you can call that code from both your daemon and your controller. class YourController < ApplicationController def create do_stuff send_email end def send_email ExtractedClass.do_stuff(params) end end #new class in lib/extracted_class.rb class ExtractedClass def self.do_stuff(params) #put the code that was previously in the send_email #function of your controller end
