Whenever gem: I install: output, but the log file does not appear where I would expect it

In my file schedule.rb, I have the following lines:

set :output, '/log/cron_log.log'

every 5.minutes do
  command 'echo "hello"'
end

I started whenever -w, as suggested in this question, Rails, using every time a stone was created in development , and I assume that the cronfile is written and started. (I also tried restarting the Rails server.)

And when I run $ crontab -l, I see the following:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/bash
-l -c 'echo "hello" >> /log/cron_log.log 2>&1'

But I can not find the log file. I checked rails_project / log, ~ / log and / log to no avail. On OSX by the way.

How can I write a log file to the rails project's log folder?
