Callbacks / Hooks

[trinityXmontoya]

The Hooks section in the Delayed::Job Readme shows how to setup callbacks, but I cannot get it to work and wonder if there is additional configuration required when working with delayed_job_active_record vs the original gem?

versions: Rails 4.2.6, delayed_job_active_record 4.1.1

class CustomJob < ActiveJob::Base
  def perform(params)
    puts "I run successfully"
  end

  def success
    puts "but I never run"
  end

  def after
    puts "nor do i"
  end
end

I am also not able to use the hooks for delayed_job_active_record. Does anyone knows the configuration that we need to do to make this work ?

You are using ActiveJob and that is hiding some important details from you. The most important being ActiveJob is running that job not DJ. ActiveJob creates a wrapper job behind the scenes. DJ only executes this wrapper job, everything else is within ActiveJob. You can find out more about ActiveJob callbacks here https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v4.2/active_job_basics.html#callbacks
