Question

I have a method inside my controller that I need execute inside delayed job method:

This is my order controller action:

class OrdersController < ApplicationController

 def create
  #code here
  order = Order.first
  Order.delay(queue: "order", priority: 1, run_at: 2.minutes.from_now).expire_order(order)
 end

 def template_expired_order(order)
  #code here
 end

end

This is my order model:

class Order
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Timestamps::Created
  .
  .
  .
  #delayed jobs method
  def self.expire_order(order)
   #code here
  end
end

I want execute the controller method template_expired_order(order) when self.expire_order(order) method is executed or triggered or fired up.

How can I do it?

Thank you very much!

You should not put model-related code in the controller, especially if you want to run it in a background job. It’s not clear what template_expired_order does, but I would recommend putting it in the Order model and calling it directly on the order that gets pass into expired_order.

class Order
  def expire_order(order)
    order.template_expired_order
  end

  def template_expired_order
    # code
  end
end
