Re: Introduction to delayed_job

The delayed_job capistrano recipes require that :rails_env is set. If
not, the runner starts in development mode. In your deploy.rb, make
sure you set :rails_env:

set :rails_env, 'production'

I got tripped up by this too - and I only solved it by looking at the
source. I added a ticket over at

Jonathan - Great presentation last night.

I wondered if you would know why, when using capistrano to start a delayed_job worker on passenger, it tries to start it in development mode, but the same statement run from the console starts in production.

This is the statement I am using:
script/delayed_job start RAILS_ENV=production

BTW, using active_scaffold, i was able to set up a simple interface to the delayed_jobs queue, letting me see the error messages, delete items from the queue, and even edit them (set a higher priority, change the number of fails, etc.).

My solution is here:

I used the time since epoch to average out the times..but my solution needs a "cutoff time" as part of the input. Be sure to check out the winners and especially the solutions that use geometry and clock faces!

Hey this was actually pretty helpful! I just wanted to get some traps to log, and it's painfully complex. Thanks for the docs.

it works but it might not be the most MVC way of doing things, at least it works though
