Sidekiq? How?

[MaffooClock]

The README says "SMSEasy works perfectly well with background job processing gems such as Sidekiq and delayed_job." But how?

An example on Sidekiq's Delayed Extensions makes me think I should do something like:

sms_sender = SMSEasy::Client.new
sms_sender.delay_until(10.seconds.from_now).deliver('18005551212', 'att, 'Hello world!')

But this results in undefined method 'delay_until' for #<SMSEasy::Client:0x007fcdf42f5598>.

Basically, I've tried every combination of cramming delay_until() wherever I thought I could, but I must be misunderstanding how to queue an SMSeasy delivery.

I should note that I'm a n00b when it comes to Sidekiq. I've been able to use delay_until() for ActionMailer just fine, though.

It never fails. On the rare occasion I can't figure something out, then post an issue, I promptly figure it out.

I had to create a worker:

class DelayedSmsWorker

  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform(number, carrier, message, options={})

    sms_sender = SMSEasy::Client.new
    sms_sender.deliver(number, carrier, message, options)

  end

end

Then use this in my controller:

DelayedSmsWorker.perform_at(10.seconds.from_now, '18005551212', 'att', 'Hello world!')

Worked like a charm.

Glad you got it figured out! :)
