Resque::Aliasing

Resque plugin that allows you to alias jobs to other jobs. Useful when you are renaming jobs or consolidating multiple jobs into one.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'resque-aliasing'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install resque-aliasing

If you ever want to rename a job, but are worried about versions of the old job still left in your resque queues, just alias it! The below example illustrates basic usage after we have renamed a job from Workers::Processing::ProcessCustomer to Workers::DiscombobulateCustomer.

class Workers::DiscombobulateCustomer
    extend Resque::Plugins::Aliasing
    alias_job 'Workers::Processing::ProcessCustomer'

    def self.perform(customer_id)
        # discombobulating customer!
    end

    @queue = :customers
end

Any Workers::Processing::ProcessCustomer jobs remaining in the queue will just get enqueued as Workers::DiscombobulateCustomer jobs when they are eventually 'performed'. Additionally, any attempt to enqueue a Workers::Processing::ProcessCustomer job will instead enqueue a Workers::DiscombobulateCustomer job.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake false to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
