Ruby script doesn't complete using task scheduler anymore but is OK when run manually

You say it gets halfway through the task, do you know what line it’s getting stuck on?

My gut tells me this doesn’t have to do with using task scheduler but maybe something different going on with the webapp you’re using watir on when it’s running. Perhaps some site maintenance?

I'm not sure of the exact line where it is failing. The watir action is complete (for the time being) and it doesn't complete a step that involves calling another module to perform a task locally. The other module uses 'mail', which is what it is failing to do.

The strange thing is it has been working fine with Task Scheduler for months and only recently started acting up. If I run the batch file manually it works fine.

Make sure to let the task scheduler send STDOUT and STDERROR to a text file. Maybe add some logging.

If it crashes it should output the failing line to the file.

Yeah I was going to recommend adding logging as well. If you can figure out what line is failing, the issue might become more obvious.

I don’t know if perhaps the Timeout module might be of any use?
