Adding some custom methods to delayed job in rails 3?












3















I want to add some custom methods to the delayed jobs model.



I want to have some extra such as...



def status
return "errored" unless self.last_error.blank?
return "waiting" if self.locked_at.blank?
return "running" unless self.locked_at.blank?
return "blerg" if some.other.things...
end


...on the the delayed job class.



I was just wondering how I extend it in such a way.



Thanks!

          Is the class Delayed::Job? You can add methods to classes in a few ways in ruby, but probably the easiest way is:



          config/initializers/delayed_job.rb



          class Delayed::Job
          def status
          return "errored" unless self.last_error.blank?
          return "waiting" if self.locked_at.blank?
          return "running" unless self.locked_at.blank?
          return "blerg" if some.other.things...
          end
          end


          Although this might look like it overwrites the class, it actually just adds the method if the class is already loaded..

          • Jon, I am puzzled how you named this file, and where you placed it? I have tried /lib, /models, /models/concerns, etc, and noting is working.
