I am still very new to rails and programming in general please help me in anyway, thanks ahead of time!
I wrote a small bot that works perfectly on my local system but then does nothing when I upload it.
My html.erb just calls the bot method below. It is an infinite loop but on the local server it just allows the bot to basically run in the background while the page is loading forever, which works for me. I know that the app is deployed correctly because I commented out the bot method and just had things print on a blank page and that works perfectly. So it has to do with something in my bot method. The only problem is that when I leave the bot method running on the heroku environment a page pops up saying "We're sorry something went wrong" and tells me to check log, except the log doesn't give me any errors only a ping notification:

This is the controller.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'phantomjs'
def time(t)
mm, ss = t.divmod(60)
hh, mm = mm.divmod(60)
dd, hh = hh.divmod(24)
return "%d days, %d hours, %d minutes and %d seconds " % [dd, hh, mm, ss]
end
def remaining_time(delay)
time = Time.now.to_f
fin = delay + time
while fin > time
time = Time.now.to_f
@finished = "Current delay is #{time(fin-time)} \r"
sleep 1;
end
print "\n"
end
