Overview

A Resque::Job represents a unit of work. Each job lives on a single queue and has an associated payload object. The payload is a hash with two attributes: ‘class` and `args`. The `class` is the name of the Ruby class which should be used to run the job. The `args` are an array of arguments which should be passed to the Ruby class’s ‘perform` class-level method.

You can manually run a job using this code:

job = Resque::Job.reserve(:high)
klass = Resque::Job.constantize(job.payload['class'])
klass.perform(*job.payload['args'])

Constructor Details

#initialize(queue, payload) ⇒ Job

Returns a new instance of Job.

Instance Attribute Details

#payload ⇒ Object (readonly)

This job’s associated payload object.

def payload
  @payload
end

#queue ⇒ Object (readonly)

The name of the queue from which this job was pulled (or is to be placed)

def queue

#worker ⇒ Object

The worker object which is currently processing this job.

Class Method Details

.create(queue, klass, *args) ⇒ Object

Creates a job by placing it on a queue. Expects a string queue name, a string class name, and an optional array of arguments to pass to the class’ ‘perform` method.

Raises an exception if no queue or class is given.

def self.create(queue, klass, *args)
  if !queue
    raise NoQueueError.new("Jobs must be placed onto a queue.")
  end

  if klass.to_s.empty?
    raise NoClassError.new("Jobs must be given a class.")
  end

  Resque.push(queue, :class => klass.to_s, :args => args)
end

.destroy(queue, klass, *args) ⇒ Object

Removes a job from a queue. Expects a string queue name, a string class name, and, optionally, args.

Returns the number of jobs destroyed.

If no args are provided, it will remove all jobs of the class provided.

That is, for these two jobs:

{ ‘class’ => ‘UpdateGraph’, ‘args’ => [‘defunkt’] } { ‘class’ => ‘UpdateGraph’, ‘args’ => [‘mojombo’] }

The following call will remove both:

Resque::Job.destroy(queue, 'UpdateGraph')

Whereas specifying args will only remove the 2nd job:

Resque::Job.destroy(queue, 'UpdateGraph', 'mojombo')

This method can be potentially very slow and memory intensive, depending on the size of your queue, as it loads all jobs into a Ruby array before processing.

def self.destroy(queue, klass, *args)

  destroyed = 0

  mongo.find(:queue => queue).each do |rec|
    json   = decode(rec['item'])

    match  = json['class'] == klass
    match &= json['args'] == args unless args.empty?

    if match
      destroyed += 1
      mongo.remove(:_id => rec['_id'])
    end
  end

  destroyed
end

.reserve(queue) ⇒ Object

Given a string queue name, returns an instance of Resque::Job if any jobs are available. If not, returns nil.
