delayed_job queue not being processed on Heroku

Question

I\'m running a Rails 3 app with delayed_job. The issue I\'ve come across is that though the app is correctly adding jobs to the queue, they are never being processed.

Answer 1

Are you running the delayed_job daemon in the same environment in which the application is running?

Try working the jobs manually using:
rake RAILS_ENV=development jobs:work

If you are running your app in production mode then you need to start delayed_job daemon as:
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
