In my Heroku application, I have a clock process which needs to periodically execute a rake task.I am using the clockwork gem.Here is the code in lib/clock.rb :
require File.expand_path('../../config/boot', __FILE__)
require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
require 'clockwork'
include Clockwork
every(1.day, 'API Data Fetching', :at => '18:31') { `rake build_index` }
Here is the Heroku log snippet:

The task is not being executed and no API data is being fetched. What could be the issue? Is running a rake task from clock.rb bad idea?
