Is there an in memory job storage package for Hangfire?

Question

I have a console application to test HangFire. Here is the code:

using System;
using Hangfire;

namespace MyScheduler.ConsoleApp
{
    internal static class Program
    {
        internal static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            MyMethod();

            Console.WriteLine("[Finished]");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        private static void MyMethod()
        {
            RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate(() => Console.Write("Easy!"), Cron.Minutely);
        }
    }
}

But it throws an exception on runtime:

Additional information: JobStorage.Current property value has not been initialized. You must set it before using Hangfire Client or Server API.

So I need a job storage to run this. But all examples in SQL storage etc. Is there any way to run this example with some kind of memory storage?

JobStorage.Current = new SqlServerStorage("ConnectionStringName", options);  
// to  
JobStorage.Current = new MemoryDbStorage(string.Empty, options);  

Answer 1

You can use Hangfire.MemoryStorage for this.

Simply add this nuget package.

And then you can use it like -

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseMemoryStorage();

Answer 2

For NET Core (web application):

Just to make it very obvious because it wasn't obvious to me.

Install following nuget packages:

• Hangfire.AspNetCore (v1.6.17 atow)
• Hangfire.MemoryStorage.Core (v1.4.0 atow)

In Startup.cs:

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        // other registered services
        ...

        services.AddHangfire(c => c.UseMemoryStorage());
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
        // other pipeline configuration            
        ...

        app.UseHangfireServer();

        app.UseMvc();
    }

Anything less than above and my enqueued method did not fire.

Answer 3

As Yogi said, you can use Hangfire.MemoryStorage or Hangfire.MemoryStorage.Core (for .Net Core).

What is missing in that answer is the complete code (for .Net Core) that needs to be put inside ConfigureServices(..) :

var inMemory = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseMemoryStorage();
services.AddHangfire(x => x.UseStorage(inMemory));
