I am working on a project that has a web server written in RubyonRails. Another person started the code for this project and I got all the code. This server used delayed_job. The production server is running fine without any problem. However, when I want run it on my local server, none of the delayed_job tasks run. I do not get any error, for example, when I run rake jobs:work on my local server, and I submit a job, this is the output:

[Worker(host:ardrossan pid:20474)] Starting job worker

[Worker(host:ardrossan pid:20474)] Job Delayed::PerformableMethod (id=2) RUNNING

[Worker(host:ardrossan pid:20474)] 1 jobs processed at 17.9446 j/s, 0 failed

But no results is generated. Any advice on how I can get the delayed_jobs working on my local server is appreciated.

I should mention that I am using 'rails', '3.2.17' and my OS is Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

think you have to launch the background workers locally using foreman. The following worked on my Mac.

From Heroku docs:

You then need to tell your application to process jobs put into your job queue, you can do that by adding this to your Procfile:

worker:  bundle exec rake jobs:work

Now when you start your application using Foreman it will start processing your job queue.

foreman start

Having said all that, unless you are deploying on a Mac, it doesn't really matter if they run locally. (I noticed this after I got it working.) It only matters if it works on your servers. If you are deploying on Heroku, then Delayed Job works well.

Youll need to start by yourself since you do not have any workers to trigger your actions by itself.
