Question

I am creating a delayed job in my controller using the delay method as below:

JobProcessor.delay(:run_at => Time.now).process_job(options)

Now inside the process_job method I am doing

chunks = options[:collection].each_splice(10).to_a
chunks.each do |chunk|
  self.delay(:run_at => Time.now).chunk_job
end

This is giving me error stack level too deep when I send request to the URL

What might be the issue? Please help.

Answer 1

I was able to make it work for me by doing some changes.

• I changed the outer method process_job to be an instance method
• And kept the rest of the code as it is.

So now my code looks like

JobProcessor.new.process_job(options)

in the controller, and inside the JobProcessor class I have

class JobProcessor
  def process_job(options)
    chunks = options[:collection].each_splice(10).to_a
    chunks.each do |chunk|
      self.class.delay(:run_at => Time.now).chunk_job(options)
    end
  end
  handle_asynchronously :process_job, :run_at => Proc.new { 2.seconds.from_now }

  def self.chunk_job(options)
    # perform chunk job here
  end
end

This works for me.
