Delayed Job Rake Task Failing

Question

I\'m trying to get delayed job to work as a rake task, but for the life of me I can\'t figure out what I\'m doing wrong. Given the following setup:

#config/envi         


        

Answer 1

DelayedJob defines handle_asynchronously in Delayed::MessageSending::ClassMethods. DelayedJob automatically monkey-patches that module into Module in its lib/delayed_job.rb. You'll likely have better luck requiring that in your Rake task:

#Rakefile
begin
  require 'delayed_job'
  require 'delayed/tasks'
rescue LoadError
  STDERR.puts "Run `rake gems:install` to install delayed_job"
end
