In my Rails app (4.2.4), I have been trying to get asynchronous mail sending to work.
I installed delayed_job as my queue adapter, and set it as the adapter in several places: config/application.rb, config/environments/{development,production}.rb, and config/initializers/active_job.rb.
Installation:
I added this to my Gemfile:
gem 'delayed_job_active_record'
Then, I ran the following commands:
$ bundle install
$ rails generate delayed_job:active_record
$ rake db:migrate
$ bin/delayed_job start
In config/application.rb, config/environments/production.rb, config/environments/development.rb:
config.active_job.queue_adapter = :delayed_job
In config/initializers/active_job.rb (added when the above did not work):
ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter = :delayed_job
I've also run an ActiveRecord migration for delayed_job, and started bin/delayed_job before running my server.
That being said, any time I try:
UserMailer.welcome_email(@user).deliver_later(wait: 1.minutes)
I get the following error:
NotImplementedError (Use a queueing backend to enqueue jobs in the
future. Read more at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_job_basics.html):
app/controllers/user_controller.rb:25:in `create'
config.ru:25:in `call'
I was under the impression that delayed_job is a queueing backend... am I missing something?
EDIT:
I can't get sucker_punch to work either. When installing sucker_punch in the bundler, and using:
config.active_job.queue_adapter = :sucker_punch
in config/application.rb, I get the same error and stack trace.
Provide you are following all the steps listed here, I feel you didn't start delayed_job running
bin/delayed_job start
Please also check you run
rails generate delayed_job:active_record
rake db:migrate
