DelayedJobJson

Migrate handler of text column to json column for delayed_job.

Dependencies

• ruby 2.7+
• activerecord 6.0+
• delayed_job 4.1
• delayed_job_active_record 4.1

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'delayed_job_json'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Generate migration files:

$ rails generate delayed_job_json:migration

Edit generated files and leave codes only for your database. An example of generated file is shown as follows:

class AddPayloadToDelayedJobs < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.0]
  def up
    case ENV['DATABASE']
    when 'postgresql'
      add_column :delayed_jobs, :payload, :jsonb, null: false, default: {}
      add_index :delayed_jobs, :payload, using: :gin
    when 'mysql'
      add_column :delayed_jobs, :payload, :json
    else
      add_column :delayed_jobs, :payload, :json, null: false, default: {}
    end
  end

  def down
    case ENV['DATABASE']
    when 'postgresql'
      remove_column :delayed_jobs, :payload, :jsonb, null: false, default: {}
    when 'mysql'
      remove_column :delayed_jobs, :payload, :json
    else
      remove_column :delayed_jobs, :payload, :json, null: false, default: {}
    end
  end
end

Then run migration:

$ rake db:migrate

This migration adds payload column to delayed_jobs table, and YAML data in handler column is migrated to payload as json data.
