Because some jobs have parameters that you do not want to consider for determination of uniqueness.
NOTE:
I rewrote, and renamed, both resque_solo and resque-lonely_job, because they
can't be used together. Why? Their redis_key methods directly conflict,
among other more subtle issues.
This gem requires use of my rewritten gems for uniqueness enforcement:

See lib/resque/unique_by_arity/configuration.rb for all config options. Only
a smattering of what is available is documented in this README.
You must configure this gem after you define the perform class method in your
job or an error will be raised thanks to perform not having been defined yet.
Example:
class MyJob
def self.perform(arg)
# do stuff
end
include Resque::Plugins::UniqueByArity.new(
arity_for_uniqueness: 1,
lock_after_execution_period: 60,
runtime_lock_timeout: 60 * 60 * 24 * 5, # 5 days
unique_at_runtime: true,
unique_in_queue: true
)
endAdd this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'resque-unique_by_arity'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install resque-unique_by_arity
The following is showing the default values. These global configs are copied into each per-class config unless they are overridden by the class config.
Create an initializer (e.g. config/initializers/resque-unique_by_arity.rb for rails) and customize the following:
Resque::UniqueByArity.configure do |config|
config.logger = nil
config.log_level = :debug
config.arity_for_uniqueness = 0
config.unique_at_runtime = false
config.unique_in_queue = false
# No need to do the following if keeping default values
config.runtime_lock_timeout = 60 * 60 * 24 * 5
config.runtime_requeue_interval = 1
config.unique_at_runtime_key_base = 'r-uar'.freeze
config.lock_after_execution_period = 0
config.ttl = -1
config.unique_in_queue_key_base = 'r-uiq'.freeze
# Debug Mode is preferably set via an environment variable:
# to one of 'true', 'arity', or 'arity,queue,runtime' for all three tools:
# ENV['RESQUE_DEBUG'] = 'true'
# config.debug_mode = true
endThis gem will take care to set the class instance variables (similar to the
familiar @queue class instance variable) that are utilized by
resque-unique_in_queue and resque-unique_at_runtime (default values shown):
# For resque-unique_at_runtime
@runtime_lock_timeout = 60 * 60 * 24 * 5
@runtime_requeue_interval = 1
@unique_at_runtime_key_base = 'r-uar'.freeze
# For resque-unique_in_queue
@lock_after_execution_period = 0
@ttl = -1
@unique_in_queue_key_base = 'r-uiq'.freezeAll you need to do is configure this gem accordingly:
include Resque::Plugins::UniqueByArity.new(
arity_for_uniqueness: 1,
# Turn on one or both of the following:
unique_at_runtime: false,
unique_in_queue: false,
# No need to do the following if keeping default values
runtime_lock_timeout: 60 * 60 * 24 * 5,
runtime_requeue_interval: 1,
# would override the global setting, probably a bad idea.
# unique_at_runtime_key_base: 'r-uar'.freeze,
lock_after_execution_period: 0,
ttl: -1,
# would override the global setting, probably a bad idea.
# unique_in_queue_key_base: 'r-uiq'.freeze
)Some jobs have parameters that you do not want to consider for determination of uniqueness. Resque jobs should use simple parameters, not named parameters, so you can just specify the number of parameters, counting from the left, you want to be considered for uniqueness.
class MyJob
def self.perform(my, cat, is, the, best, opts = {})
# Only the first 3: [my, cat, is] will be considered for determination of uniqueness
end
include Resque::Plugins::UniqueByArity.new(
arity_for_uniqueness: 3,
unique_at_runtime: true
)
endWant this gem to tell you when it is misconfigured? It can.
class MyJob
def self.perform(my, cat, opts = {})
# Because the third argument is optional the arity valdiation will not approve.
# Arguments to be considered for uniqueness should be required arguments.
# The warning log might look like:
#
# MyJob.perform has the following required parameters: [:my, :cat], which is not enough to satisfy the configured arity_for_uniqueness of 3
end
include Resque::Plugins::UniqueByArity.new(
arity_for_uniqueness: 3,
arity_validation: :warning, # or :skip, :error, or an error class to be raised, e.g. RuntimeError
unique_at_runtime: true
)
endGive the job a break after it finishes running, and don't allow another of the same, with matching args @ configured arity, to start within X seconds.
class MyJob
def self.perform(arg1)
# do stuff
end
include Resque::Plugins::UniqueByArity.new(
arity_for_uniqueness: 1,
lock_after_execution_period: 60,
unique_at_runtime: true
)
endIf runtime lock keys get stale, they will expire on their own after some period. You can set the expiration period on a per class basis.
class MyJob
def self.perform(arg1)
# do stuff
end
include Resque::Plugins::UniqueByArity.new(
arity_for_uniqueness: 1,
runtime_lock_timeout: 60 * 60 * 24 * 5, # 5 days
unique_at_runtime: true
)
endPrevent your app from running a job that is already running.
class MyJob

)
endPreventing jobs with matching signatures from running, and they never get dequeued because there is no actual corresponding job to dequeue.

endRun your worker with RESQUE_DEBUG=true to see payloads printed before they are

This library aims to adhere to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.
As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.
