Overview

Active Job objects can be configured to work with different backend queuing frameworks. To specify a queue adapter to use:

ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :inline

A list of supported adapters can be found in QueueAdapters.

Active Job objects can be defined by creating a class that inherits from the Base class. The only necessary method to implement is the “perform” method.

To define an Active Job object:

class ProcessPhotoJob < ActiveJob::Base
  def perform(photo)
    photo.watermark!('Rails')
    photo.rotate!(90.degrees)
    photo.resize_to_fit!(300, 300)
    photo.upload!
  end
end

Records that are passed in are serialized/deserialized using Global ID. More information can be found in Arguments.

To enqueue a job to be performed as soon as the queuing system is free:

ProcessPhotoJob.perform_later(photo)

To enqueue a job to be processed at some point in the future:

ProcessPhotoJob.set(wait_until: Date.tomorrow.noon).perform_later(photo)

More information can be found in Core::ClassMethods#set

A job can also be processed immediately without sending to the queue:

ProcessPhotoJob.perform_now(photo)

Instance Attribute Summary

Callbacks - Included

Execution - Included

Core - Included

#arguments

Job arguments.

#enqueue_error

Track any exceptions raised by the backend so callers can inspect the errors.

#enqueued_at

Track when a job was enqueued.

#exception_executions

::Hash that contains the number of times this job handled errors for each specific retry_on declaration.

#executions

Number of times this job has been executed (which increments on every retry, like after an exception).

#job_id

Job Identifier.

#locale

I18n.locale to be used during the job.

#priority=

Priority that the job will have (lower is more priority).

#provider_job_id

ID optionally provided by adapter.

#queue_name=

Queue in which the job will reside.

#scheduled_at

::Time when the job should be performed.

#scheduled_at=, #serialized_arguments=, #successfully_enqueued?,
#timezone

Timezone to be used during the job.

Instance Method Summary

Exceptions - Included

#retry_job

Reschedules the job to be re-executed.

::ActiveSupport::Callbacks - Included

#run_callbacks

Runs the callbacks for the given event.

Execution - Included

#perform,
#perform_now

Performs the job immediately.

::ActiveSupport::Rescuable - Included

#rescue_with_handler

Delegates to the class method, but uses the instance as the subject for rescue_from handlers (method calls, instance_exec blocks).

Enqueuing - Included

#enqueue

Enqueues the job to be performed by the queue adapter.

QueuePriority - Included

#priority

Returns the priority that the job will be created with.

QueueName - Included

#queue_name

Returns the name of the queue the job will be run on.

Core - Included

#deserialize

Attaches the stored job data to the current instance.

#initialize

Creates a new job instance.

#serialize

Returns a hash with the job data that can safely be passed to the queuing adapter.
