Implement wait feature for Rails ActiveJob

[brandonhilkert]

Currently, ActiveJob allows you to enqueue a job using an options has with keys wait and wait_until:

• http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_job_basics.html#enqueue-the-job
• https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activejob/lib/active_job/enqueuing.rb#L63

Sucker Punch currently allows this using the following syntax: https://github.com/brandonhilkert/sucker_punch#perform-in

To have this functionality in the ActiveJob adapter, the enqueue_at method needs to be implemented. Here is Sidekiq's: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activejob/lib/active_job/queue_adapters/sidekiq_adapter.rb#L27

It should be implemented here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activejob/lib/active_job/queue_adapters/sucker_punch_adapter.rb#L26

@brandonhilkert I tested it via a monkey patch and it works. Couldn't swap your branch due to rails v5 dependency conflicts.

[brandonhilkert]

@kevinjalbert Perfect. That should be enough. Thanks!

Sadly it doesn't appear to be something they want.

Hey @brandonhilkert, there is any way to walkthrough this? It is a really nice (and needed for us) feature.

[brandonhilkert]

@ngelx what do you mean, walkthrough?

[ngelx]

Sorry @brandonhilkert, there is any way we could use ActiveJob deliver_later i.e. ( MailerX.send_x(some_params).deliver_later( wait: 1.hour) ) or how we could implement something similar?. We are planing to use sucker_punch for testing on heroku, and keeping low cost is necessary for the project.

Thanks in advance.

@ngelx The feature is available by just using the gem itself: https://github.com/brandonhilkert/sucker_punch#perform-in

ActiveJob doesn't really get you anything unless you plan to switch processing libraries frequently.
