Delayed Jobs?

[andrewjshults]

There is a ruby add-on to Resque that support for delayed jobs (https://github.com/elucid/resque-delayed). I looked at it a while back and I believe there may have been a slight incompatibility with how it moves jobs over from it's delayed queue to the appropriate queue between the Ruby and PHP versions of Resque. We stopped development on the project before I had a chance to investigate it fully, but let me see if I can find what progress I made and see if it's easy to make the two compatible.

Since the Resque front-end queue viewer is already written in Ruby (and the resque-delayed project is well maintained) I think it makes more sense to leverage that project than rewrite the functionality in PHP.

I would love to see what work you've done on it so far as I think php-resque really needs delayed jobs. I wish I could use the ruby version :)

I'm going to close this one out - I think it's something that could be built using the hooks system, and it'd be good to keep the core code as simple as possible.

Meant to comment on this earlier. Since the difference between how the PHP and Ruby versions of Resque store jobs have been resolved, there is no reason that the Ruby Resque-Delay cannot be used (and IMO, should be used rather than reimplementing the same functionality in PHP). As far as I can remember, the only thing that was needed was to create blank versions of the Ruby Resque jobs so that the Resque Delayed plugin wouldn't choke on unknown job types.
