Delayed Job Prevent Duplicate

The purpose of this gem is to prevent to re-enqueue on DelayedJob a task already enqueued. So we set a "signature" attached to every task enqueued which is a composite from the class and the id of the object, and the method called. And then when creating a new job we look in the "pending" jobs if there is another one with the same signature (not in the "working" one because a task can be executed and yet you want to re-excute it because of any change).

This gem is based on the work of synth: https://gist.github.com/synth/fba7baeffd083a931184

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'delayed_job_prevent_duplicate'

This line should be added after including the gem 'delayed_job'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Next, you need to run the generator:

rails g delayed_job_prevent_duplicate:install

All should be fine now!
