requeue doesn't work with new async / await

[Monokai]

Now that Agenda has been updated to use async / await, I think it's time to also update Agendash. I'm getting the error "This function does not accept a callback function. 1/0" when trying to requeue a job in the Agendash UI.

For those running into this issue, introduced in agenda v2 agenda/agenda@b9ecca9#diff-d24f116ac5cf860dd12424930aaffc40, work around is to stay in agenda v1.0.3

Shouldn't this be a relatively easy fix? I'll be happy to submit a PR.

There's possibly a concern with backwards compatibility for projects sticking with agenda v1.0.3, but if that's an issue and the idea of doing that round a major version bump doesn't appeal to the maintainers, then checking the installed version of agenda and selecting which api to use shouldn't require too much coding.

So I'm not that guy who just says "oh that's trivial" and walks away, I see two possibilities that could be straightforward for doing the version checking:

The first option that's not as easy would be to make a PR to agenda itself to add a version number to the exported package, then get them to release that. (this might be better in the long run but it has other complications).

The other way that could be implemented wholly within agendash is to make the dependency on agenda a peer dependency. Then the app could detect the installed version by doing this:

const semver = require('semver');
const agendaVersion = require('agenda/package.json').version;
const useLegacyAPI = semver.lt(agendaVersion, '2.0.0');
...

If we add a parsed option to /app.js where we pass the version to override the version we get from check agenda/package.json, then we can split the tests into two versions as well (or at least two sections), and devDependencies added in the package.json like this:

    "agenda-legacy": ">= 1.0.0 < 2.0.0",
    "agenda": ">= 2.x.x",

That way both the legacy and newer versions of agenda can be supported and have test coverage.

Oh, no, that won't work actually. But we could probably use npx to separate & test the legacy and non-legacy versions.

That was wrong too...

Boy do I feel dumb, this is what the build matrix is for 😂

[jskrzypek]

Oh, now I see #72 ... so is the idea to move to consuming agenda-rest instead of the code in /lib/agendash.js & /lib/middleware?

[jsardev]

Having the same issue. Unfortunately I don't have time right now to take a look at this 😢

This should be fixed in Agendash v2. Please try and report back if it's not working.
Closing this issue as stale.
