Redis::InheritedError

[betamatt]

You receive that error in a web process or in the DJ process? Unicorn, or any choice of webserver, doesn't have anything to do with DJ.

Yes, it's possible the main DJ gem (https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job) needs to provide a hook for forking behavior since daemonizing results in a fork. You'd need to reopen a redis connection if you had opened one during app initialization (I've used a lazy proxy to prevent this.) It would be tough to add this to Lifecycle since before/after fork are executed as class methods before the worker is instantiated. I guess adding a hook on Worker that builds up an array of blocks wouldn't be a bad way to go. Can't imagine anyone would object to that behavior as long as it's a new method.

I suspect most people who've run into this in the past have done a quick alias_method_chain on the Worker's after_fork method to get around this. https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/blob/master/lib/delayed/worker.rb#L92
