Sidekiq not loading .env about dotenv

[bkeepers]

Can you test the latest version (1.0.2) and see if this is still an issue for you? It should be using Rails.root now to properly require it.

[PedroSena]

I'm using dotenv 1.0.2 and having the same issue, even with the initializer

[bkeepers]

@PedroSena dotenv 2.0.0 is out now. Can you give that a try and see if you still experience issues?

[PedroSena]

Same issue, @bkeepers

[bkeepers]

I'm not familiar with how Sidekiq boostraps, so I'd appreciate help looking into the issue. Reopening this issue now.

I'd recommend setting the env vars when starting up the sidekiq master, rather than relying on the sidekiq process(es) to read in the .env file. It's really not meant for production (partly because of weird edge cases like this).

I had used Mike Perham's upstart scripts for loading Sidekiq in production and found that I had to add a line to export the env variables before sidekiq loads.

[PedroSena]

Leaving dotenv just for dev/test and loading the variables on /etc/environment for production solved the issue. Thanks for the help

@PedroSena I don't think /etc/environment is a good place to put project-related environment variables.

I am having a similar issue, using Runit with Sidekiq and currently manually sourcing every .env file.

Jumping a little late on this but hope it can help.
@assimovt do you cd to your application folder in your Runit config before starting sidekiq?

Here's my capistrano template for a sidekiq runit config:

#!/bin/bash --login

PATH=<%= fetch(:rbenv_path) %>/shims:<%= fetch(:rbenv_path) %>/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
exec 2>&1
cd <%= current_path %> && exec bundle exec sidekiq -e <%= fetch(:rails_env) %>

Works well for me.

Nobody has any news on that?

I am currently having the same problem, using dotenv and capistrano-sidekiq.

[NicolasWebDev]

Actually, it finally worked, with capistrano-sidekiq. Sorry for the noise.
Is this issue still relevant?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[wflanagan]

This is still the case.

[joschl]

put require 'dotenv/load' right after require 'bundler/setup' into bin/sidekiq

try restarting your sidekiq server. Any changes make to .env are not picked by sidekiq once the service is started.
