Resque job undefined method 'current_user'

Question

It's my first attempt at Resque and doing background jobs, and I'm kind of stuck.

I have two issues at hand.

1. It gives me the error

   undefined local variable or method `current_user'
   

2. I am not sure if what I am pushing to the worker is indeed the most correct thing.

Here is my code:

schedules_controller.rb

  def trial
@schedule = current_user.schedules.new
if @schedule.save
  user = User.find(params[:id])
  @client = Buffer::Client.new(user.token)
  Resque.enqueue(ScheduleTweets, @client)
  @schedule.update_attribute(:trial, true)
  flash[:notice] = "success"
  redirect_to :back
else 
  flash[:alert] = "Try again."
  redirect_to :back
end

end

and the worker:

apps/workers/schedule_tweets.rb

class ScheduleTweets
 @queue = :schedules_queue

 def self.perform(client)
  user = User.find(params[:id])
  client = Buffer::Client.new(user.token)
  @list = List.first(6)
  @profiles = client.profiles
  @profile_ids = profiles.map(&:id)
  @list.each do |list|
    client.create_update(body: {text: "#{list.text}", profile_ids: @profile_ids })
  end
 end
end 

end

my thought process is that the client is the core of the entire process and should thus be the one. However @profile_ids also contains anywhere from 1-5 values.

When I run the task I get the undefined local variable or method 'current_user'. How do I fix that, also am I doing it right by choosing the @client as the thing to add?

Answer 1

Try this schedules_controller.rb

def trial
  @schedule = current_user.schedules.new
  if @schedule.save
    user = User.find(params[:id])
    @client = Buffer::Client.new(user.token)
    Resque.enqueue(ScheduleTweets, user.id)
    @schedule.update_attribute(:trial, true)
    flash[:notice] = "success"
    redirect_to :back
  else
    flash[:alert] = "Try again."
    redirect_to :back
  end
end

and the worker:

apps/workers/schedule_tweets.rb

class ScheduleTweets
  @queue = :schedules_queue

  def self.perform(user_id)
    user = User.find(user_id)
    client = Buffer::Client.new(user.token)
    @list = List.first(6)
    @profiles = client.profiles
    @profile_ids = @profiles.map(&:id)
    @list.each do |list|
      client.create_update(body: {text: "#{list.text}", profile_ids: @profile_ids })
    end
  end
end
