resque-mock
In memory mocks for running resque without redis in test mode.
Overview
Managing forking/background processes in test & CI environments is a
pain. resque-mock allows you to run resque jobs in tests without
forking or connecting to a redis server.
Usage
Activate resque-mock by calling Resque.mock! in your test setup code.
require 'resque'
require 'resque/mock'
class VerifyUserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
Resque.mock!
end
def test_verify_user
# model with a some states
user = User.new(:state => :signup)
# resque job which verifies a user
VerifyUser.enqueue(user.id)
# probably have to reload this guy
user.reload!
# the job has ran, the user should be verified
assert_equal user.state, :verified
end
end
The VerifyUser.enqueue is synchronous and will block until the job
returns.
Async Jobs
You can run jobs asynchronously with Resque.async.
class AsyncTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
Resque.mock!
end
def test_async_verify
user = User.new(:state => :signup)
Resque.async do
# this job might take a while, and spawn other jobs.
VerifyUser.enqueue(user.id)
# it's a slow job, so it probably won't be finished yet.
user.reload!
assert_not_equal user.state, :verified
end
# the block doesn't return until all jobs are finished, so
# the verify job should be done
assert_equal user.state, :verified
end
end
Async jobs are pushed onto a worker queue managed by a manager thread. Each job is then started in it's own thread.
resque-scheduler
resque-mock can also mock resque-scheduler's Resque.enqueue_in and
Resque.enqueue_at methods.
