I am trying to use the Whenever plugin for rails to perform a model process at certain times.
When I try to use the mail_out process in my User model, I get the following error. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what is going wrong?
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/commands/runner.rb:48: /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.5/lib/active_record/base.rb:1567:in `find_from_ids': Couldn't find User without an ID (ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound)

My schedule.rb is as follows:
every 1.day, :at => '5:30 am' do
runner "User.mail_out"
end
My User model is:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic
def self.mail_out
weekday = Date.today.strftime('%A').downcase
@users = find(:conditions => "#{weekday}sub = t")
@users.each { |u| UserMailer.deliver_mail_out(u)}
end
end
My User_mailer is:
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
def mail_out(users)
@recipients = { }
users.each do |user|
@recipients[user.email] = { :name => user.name }
end
from "[email protected]"
subject "Check out the trailer of the day!"
body :user => user
end
end
Migration:
create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
t.string "email"
t.date "birthday"
t.string "gender"
t.string "zipcode"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
t.string "crypted_password"
t.string "password_salt"
t.string "persistence_token"
t.string "mondaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
t.string "tuesdaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
t.string "wednesdaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
t.string "thursdaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
t.string "fridaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
t.string "saturdaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
t.string "sundaysub", :default => "f", :null => false
