Guard::Resque

Guard::Resque automatically starts/stops/restarts resque workers

Forked from Guard::Resque

Install

Please be sure to have Guard installed before you continue.

Install the gem:

gem install ainforest-guard-resque

Add it to your Gemfile (inside test group):

gem 'ainforest-guard-resque'

Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:

guard init resque

Usage

Please read Guards usage documents.

I suggest you put the resque guard definition before your test/rspec guard if your tests depend on it being active.

Guardfile

guard 'resque', :environment => 'development' do
  watch(%r{^app/(.+)\.rb$})
  watch(%r{^lib/(.+)\.rb$})
end

Feel free to be more specific, for example watching only for app/models and app/jobs to avoid reloading on a javascript file change.

Options

You can customize the resque task via the following options:

• environment: the rails environment to run the workers in (defaults to nil)
• task: the name of the rake task to use (defaults to "resque:work")
• queue: the resque queue to run (defaults to "*")
• interval: the interval to use for checking for new resque jobs (defaults to 5)
• count: the number of workers to include (defaults to 1)
• verbose: whether to use verbose logging (defaults to nil)
• vverbose: whether to use very verbose logging (defaults to nil)
• trace: whether to include --trace on the rake command (defaults to nil)
• stop_signal: how to kill the process when restarting (defaults to SIGTERM)
• stop_timeout: how long to wait (in seconds) for resque to exit (defaults to 5 seconds, one more than the resque default)
• term_child: defaults to 1 to use the new signal handling in 2.x

Guard::Resque Authors

Jacques Crocker hacked this together from the guard-delayed gem for use with Resque. All credit go to the original authors though. Jacques just search/replaced and tweaked a few things.

I've (ukd1) only fixed a few issues that have cropped up recently that were annoying and unfixed.
