SidekiqStatus

Sidekiq extension to track job execution statuses and returning job results back to the client in a convenient manner

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq_status'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Basic

Create a status-friendly worker by include SidekiqStatus::Worker module having #perform method with Sidekiq worker-compatible signature:

class MyWorker
   include SidekiqStatus::Worker

   def perform(arg1, arg2)
      # do something
   end
end

Now you can enqueue some jobs for this worker

jid = MyWorker.perform_async('val_for_arg1', 'val_for_arg2')

If a job is rejected by some Client middleware, #perform_async returns false (as it does with ordinary Sidekiq worker).

Now, you can easily track the status of the job execution:

status_container = SidekiqStatus::Container.load(jid)
status_container.status # => 'waiting'

When a jobs is scheduled its status is waiting. As soon sidekiq worker begins job execution its status is changed to working. If the job successfully finishes (i.e. doesn't raise an unhandled exception) its status is complete. Otherwise its status is failed.

Communication from Worker to Client

SidekiqStatus::Container has some attributes and SidekiqStatus::Worker module extends your Worker class with a few methods which allow Worker to leave some info for the subsequent fetch by a Client. For example you can notify client of the worker progress via at and total= methods

class MyWorker
   include SidekiqStatus::Worker

   def perform(arg1, arg2)
      objects = Array.new(200) { 'some_object_to_process' }
      self.total= objects.count
      objects.each_with_index do |object, index|
        at(index, "Processing object #{index}")
        object.process!
      end
   end
end

Lets presume a client refreshes container at the middle of job execution (when it's processing the object number 50):

container = SidekiqStatus::Container.load(jid) # or container.reload

container.status       # => 'working'
container.at           # => 50
container.total        # => 200
container.pct_complete # => 25
container.message      # => 'Processing object #{50}'

Also, a job can leave for the client any custom payload. The only requirement is json-serializeability

class MyWorker
   include SidekiqStatus::Worker

   def perform(arg1, arg2)
      objects = Array.new(5) { |i| i }
      self.total= objects.count
      result = objects.inject([]) do |accum, object|
        accum << "result #{object}"
        accum
      end

      self.payload= result
   end
end

Then a client can fetch the result payload

container = SidekiqStatus::Container.load(jid)
container.status  # => 'complete'
container.payload # => ["result 0", "result 1", "result 2", "result 3", "result 4"]

SidekiqStatus stores all container attributes in a separate redis key until it's explicitly deleted via container.delete method or until redis key expires (see SidekiqStatus::Container.ttl class_attribute).

Job kill

Any job which is waiting or working can be killed. A working job is killed at the moment of container access.

container = SidekiqStatus::Container.load(jid)
container.status # => 'working'
container.killable? # => true
container.should_kill # => false

container.request_kill

container.status # => 'working'
container.killable? # => false
container.should_kill # => true

sleep(1)

container.reload
container.status # => 'killed'

Sidekiq web integration

SidekiqStatus also provides an extension to Sidekiq web interface with /statuses page where you can track and kill jobs and clean status containers.

Setup Sidekiq web interface according to Sidekiq documentation
Add "require 'sidekiq_status/web'" beneath "require 'sidekiq/web'"
