Sidekiq v2.0.0 Release Notes

    • ⏱ SCHEDULED JOBS!

    You can now use perform_at and perform_in to schedule jobs to run at arbitrary points in the future, like so:

      SomeWorker.perform_in(5.days, 'bob', 13)
  SomeWorker.perform_at(5.days.from_now, 'bob', 13)

    It also works with the delay extensions:

      UserMailer.delay_for(5.days).send_welcome_email(user.id)

    👷 The time is approximately when the job will be placed on the queue; it is not guaranteed to run at precisely at that moment in time.

    👷 This functionality is meant for one-off, arbitrary jobs. I still recommend whenever or clockwork if you want cron-like, ⏱ recurring jobs. See examples/scheduling.rb

    ⏱ I want to specially thank @yabawock for his work on sidekiq-scheduler. His extension for Sidekiq 1.x filled an obvious functional gap that I now think is 👉 useful enough to implement in Sidekiq proper.

    • 🛠 Fixed issues due to Redis 3.x API changes. Sidekiq now requires the Redis 3.x client.
    • ✅ Inline testing now round trips arguments through JSON to catch serialization issues (betelgeuse)
