Hooks for delayed_job not working on Heroku? about apartment HOT 2 CLOSED

Ya Delayed::Job is becoming increasingly painful to support and we will eventually strip it out into its own [decprecated] gem.

The basic problem is that DJ Monkey Patches the hell out of YAML serialization, which forces us to MonkeyPatch their monkey path to get anything to work. And as they rev versions things break...

So, if you want to use DJ, here's what we have in our Gemfile for working DJ versions:

gem 'delayed_job', '= 3.0.1' # change at own risk!
gem 'delayed_job_active_record', '= 0.3.2' # change at own risk!

But I would suggest, for many reasons, that you look into something a bit more robust like Resque or Sidekiq as they don't have these issues, you should be able to write your own hooks to switch dbs on jobs and you won't have to worry about monkeypatching and version upgardes.

I'll update the docs

thanks. with delayed_job 3.0.5and delayed_job_active_record (0.4.3) things are working.

I also found out that Ruby 1.9.2 caused some issues on Heroku.
Upgrading to 1.9.3 fixed the issues.
