How do i integrate Hoptoad with DelayedJob and DaemonSpawn?

Question

I have been happily using the DelayedJob idiom:

foo.send_later(:bar)

This calls the method bar on the object foo in the DelayedJob process.

Answer 1

Try monkeypatching Delayed::Worker#handle_failed_job :

# lib/delayed_job_airbrake.rb

module Delayed
  class Worker

    protected

    def handle_failed_job_with_airbrake(job, error)
      say "Delayed job failed -- logging to Airbrake"
      HoptoadNotifier.notify(error)
      handle_failed_job_without_airbrake(job, error)
    end

    alias_method_chain :handle_failed_job, :airbrake

  end
end

This worked for me.

(in a Rails 3.0.10 app using delayed_job 2.1.4 and hoptoad_notifier 2.4.11)
