Rails delayed job not working

Question

My delayed job is not working. I am trying to create an background task for a rake file using a delayed job that should run every 15 minute. I have copied my rake tasks in m

If I understand correctly what you're trying to do, then you should have the following:

scraper.rb

require 'mechanize'

class Scraper
  def perform
    [:iqmedier, :euroads, :mikkelsen, :orville].each{|a| send(a)}
  end

  def iqmedier
    # some code
  end

  def mikkelsen
    # some code
  end

  def orville
    # some code
  end

end

in your controller:

require 'delayed_job'
class MyController < ApplicationController
  def runall
    Delayed::Job.enqueue(Scraper.new, :run_at => 5.minutes.from_now)
  end
end

For adding jobs from outside of rails, you can write something similar and then run it with rails runner:

require 'scraper'
Delayed::Job.enqueue Scraper.new
Delayed::Job.enqueue Scraper.new, :run_at => 15.minutes.from_now
Delayed::Job.enqueue Scraper.new, :run_at => 30.minutes.from_now
Delayed::Job.enqueue Scraper.new, :run_at => 45.minutes.from_now
