Question

I have this job on my controller:

def action1
 #code here
  order = Order.find(params[:id])
  Delayed::Job.enqueue(ExpiredMessage.new(order), 2, 2.days.from_now)
 #code here
end

I have inside myapp/app/jobs a custom job inside a file called expired_message.rb with the next content:

class ExpiredMessage < Struct.new(:order)
 def perform
  #code to run here for example order.save
   order.any_method
 end
end

I want execute the code inside perform method only if order.status == "PA"

How can I run a hook before save the order to check if order.status == "PA" on my custom job?

Otherwise, if the order.status != “PA” I want delete the job before this job is executed.

Thank you very much!

If you want to check an object’s status from the database – call reload on it. Otherwise, just check it as you would any other object:

def perform
  order.any_method if order.reload.status == "PA"
end
