Resque Demo

This is a dirt simple Resque setup for you to play with.

Starting the Demo App

Here's how to run the Sinatra app:

$ git clone git://github.com/resque/resque.git
$ cd resque/examples/sinatra
$ ruby app.rb
$ open http://localhost:9292/

Click 'Create New Job' a few times. You should see the number of pending jobs rising.

Starting the Demo Worker

Now in another shell terminal start the worker:

$ cd resque/examples/sinatra
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec resque work -q default,failing -r ./job.rb

You should see the following output:

*** Starting worker hostname:90185:default
*** got: (Job{default} | Demo::Job | [{}])
Processed a job!
*** done: (Job{default} | Demo::Job | [{}])

You can also use -vverbose (-vv) (very verbose) if you want to see more:

$ bundle exec resque work -q default,failing -r ./job -vv
*** Starting worker hostname:90399:default
** [05:55:09 2009-09-16] 90399: Registered signals
** [05:55:09 2009-09-16] 90399: Checking default
** [05:55:09 2009-09-16] 90399: Found job on default
** [05:55:09 2009-09-16] 90399: got: (Job{default} | Demo::Job | [{}])
** [05:55:09 2009-09-16] 90399: resque: Forked 90401 at 1253141709
** [05:55:09 2009-09-16] 90401: resque: Processing default since 1253141709
Processed a job!
** [05:55:10 2009-09-16] 90401: done: (Job{default} | Demo::Job | [{}])

Notice that you need to pass path to job.rb file in -r (--require) option. This ensures that workers can access the job classes.

That's it!

Click around, add some more queues, add more jobs, do whatever, have fun.
