Question

I am trying to use the gem delayed_job from https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job.

I put gem ‘delayed_job_active_record’ in my Gemfile and did bundle install.

Then, I did:

rails generate delayed_job
rake db:migrate

I believe the migration was supposed to create a table delayed_jobs, but it did not.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

If you are using Rails 3+, you need the following two in your Gemfile:

gem 'delayed_job'
gem 'delayed_job_active_record'

Then change your generate to:

rails g delayed_job:active_record
rake db:migrate
