Delay job with lambda

I need to send 2 actions to the background. I could write :

myobject.delay.action1
myobject.delay.action2

But I can't be sure action2 starts after action1 finished, can I?

So instead, I could create a method on the fly.

def action1and2
  myobject.action1
  myobject.action2
end

myobject.delay.action1and2

but it feels stupid to create a named function to do this meaningless group, doesn't it?

So instead, inspired by JS, I thought of writing a lambda:

-> {
  myobject.action1
  myobject.action2
}

Can I delay such function? Or is there an alternative to my situation?

Solution 
  • myobject.delay.instance_eval { action1; action2 }
