how to delete a job in sidekiq

Question

I am using sidekiq in my rails app. Users of my app create reports that start a sidekiq job. However, sometimes users want to be able to cancel \"processing\" reports. Delet

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I solved it by registering the job id when I initialize it and by creating another function cancel! to delete it.

Here is the code:

after_enqueue do |job|
  sidekiq_job = nil

  queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new
  sidekiq_job = queue.detect do |j|
    j.item['args'][0]['job_id'] == job.job_id
  end

  if sidekiq_job.nil?
    scheduled = Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new
    sidekiq_job = scheduled.detect do |j|
      j.item['args'][0]['job_id'] == job.job_id
    end
  end

  if sidekiq_job.present?
    booking = job.arguments.first
    booking.close_comments_jid = sidekiq_job.jid
    booking.save
  end
end


def perform(booking)
   # do something
end

def self.cancel!(booking)
  queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new
  sidekiq_job = queue.find_job(booking.close_comments_jid)

  if sidekiq_job.nil?
    scheduled = Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new
    sidekiq_job = scheduled.find_job(booking.close_comments_jid)
  end

  if sidekiq_job.nil?
    # Report bug in my Bug Tracking tool
  else
    sidekiq_job.delete

  end
end
