class Resque::Worker

A Resque Worker processes jobs. On platforms that support fork(2), the worker will fork off a child to process each job. This ensures a clean slate when beginning the next job and cuts down on gradual memory growth as well as low level failures.

It also ensures workers are always listening to signals from you, their master, and can react accordingly.

Attributes

fork_per_job[W]
graceful_term[RW]

should term kill workers gracefully (vs. immediately) Makes SIGTERM work like SIGQUIT

hostname[W]
job[W]
pid[W]
pre_shutdown_timeout[RW]
run_at_exit_hooks[RW]

When set to true, forked workers will exit with `exit`, calling any `at_exit` code handlers that have been registered in the application. Otherwise, forked workers exit with `exit!`

term_child[RW]

decide whether to use #new_kill_child logic

term_child_signal[RW]
term_timeout[RW]
to_s[W]

end
new(*queues) click to toggle source

Workers should be initialized with an array of string queue names. The order is important: a Worker will check the first queue given for a job. If none is found, it will check the second queue name given. If a job is found, it will be processed. Upon completion, the Worker will again check the first queue given, and so forth. In this way the queue list passed to a Worker on startup defines the priorities of queues.

If passed a single “*”, this Worker will operate on all queues in alphabetical order. Queues can be dynamically added or removed without needing to restart workers using this method.

Workers should have `prepare` called after they are initialized if you are running work on the worker.

prune_dead_workers() click to toggle source

Looks for any workers which should be running on this server and, if they’re not, removes them from Redis.

This is a form of garbage collection. If a server is killed by a hard shutdown, power failure, or something else beyond our control, the Resque workers will not die gracefully and therefore will leave stale state information in Redis.

By checking the current Redis state against the actual environment, we can determine if Redis is old and clean it up a bit.

# File lib/resque/worker.rb, line 590
def prune_dead_workers
  all_workers = Worker.all

  unless all_workers.empty?

    # If the worker hasn't sent a heartbeat, remove it from the registry.
    #
    # If the worker hasn't ever sent a heartbeat, we won't remove it since
    # the first heartbeat is sent before the worker is registred it means
    # that this is a worker that doesn't support heartbeats, e.g., another

Unregisters ourself as a worker. Useful when shutting down.

validate_queues() click to toggle source

A worker must be given a queue, otherwise it won’t know what to do with itself.

You probably never need to call this.

    raise NoQueueError.new("Please give each worker at least one queue.")

windows_worker_pids() click to toggle source

Returns an Array of string pids of all the other workers on this machine. Useful when pruning dead workers on startup.

def windows_worker_pids
  tasklist_output = %xtasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq ruby.exe" /FO list`.encode("UTF-8", Encoding.locale_charmap)

end
work(interval = 5.0, &block) click to toggle source

This is the main workhorse method. Called on a Worker instance, it begins the worker life cycle.

The following events occur during a worker’s life cycle:

  1. Startup: Signals are registered, dead workers are pruned,

    and this worker is registered.
  2. Work loop: Jobs are pulled from a queue and processed.

  3. Teardown: This worker is unregistered.

Can be passed a float representing the polling frequency. The default is 5 seconds, but for a semi-active site you may want to use a smaller value.

Also accepts a block which will be passed the job as soon as it has completed processing. Useful for testing.

# File lib/resque/worker.rb, line 227
def work(interval = 5.0, &block)
  interval = Float(interval)
  startup

  loop do
    break if shutdown?

    unless work_one_job(&block)
