Guard::Sidekiq

Guard::Sidekiq automatically starts/stops/restarts Sidekiq workers

forked from Guard::Resque

Install

Please be sure to have Guard installed before continue.

Install the gem:

gem install guard-sidekiq

Add it to your Gemfile (inside test group):

gem 'guard-sidekiq'

Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:

guard init sidekiq

Usage

Please read Guard usage doc.

I suggest you put the sidekiq guard definition before your test/rspec guard if your tests depend on it being active.

Guardfile

guard 'sidekiq', :environment => 'development' do
  watch(%r{^workers/(.+)\.rb})
end

  • environment: the rails environment to run the workers in (defaults to nil)
  • queue: the sidekiq queue to run (defaults to default)
  • timeout: shutdown timeout
  • concurrency: the number of threads to include (defaults to 1)
  • verbose: whether to use verbose logging (defaults to nil)
  • stop_signal: how to kill the process when restarting (defaults to QUIT)

I hacked this together from the guard-delayed gem for use with Resque. All credit go to the original authors though. I just search/replaced and tweaked a few things
