title: Rails: Testing Cron Jobs in development environment
body: <p>I have a custom environment called 'reports' that is setup to hit a slave database. I am trying to configure some cron jobs using the <a href="https://github.com/javan/whenever" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Whenever</a> gem and want to test them in development before I deploy. Is there any way to test cron jobs in development? Is there anyway I could schedule them locally and then start my reports server and see if they run? Thank You!</p>
