Sidekiq::WebCustom

Sidekiq::WebCustom adds additional flexibility to your Sidekiq UI.

• What happens if you do not have a Sidekiq Server?
• What happens if your Sidekiq Server does not bind to a queue that is ever growing?

This Custom add on to the Sidekiq Web framework allows you to continue to drain your queue's even when Sidekiq is not bound to them

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-web_custom'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidekiq-web_custom

Add an intilizer file to boot SidekiqUI with the expected plugins config/initializers/sidekiq-web_custom.rb. When not providing a block, this will use the default configuration values.

# config/initializers/sidekiq-web_custom.rb

require 'sidekiq/web_custom'
Sidekiq::WebCustom.configure

require 'sidekiq/web_custom'
Sidekiq::WebCustom.configure do |config|
    # Max number to attempt to drain from a queue at a time
    # Warning: A high number or long runnnig job will potentially block the process for longer
    config.drain_rate = 10 # default is 10 seconds

    # Max time to allow for execution of draining
    # If time exceeds this number, the process will violently quit.
    # Set warning time wisely
    config.max_execution_time = 6 # default is 6 second

    # Max time before we attempt to send warning to halt execution.
    # This will prevent the process from trying to attempt work on another job
    # If a long running job is occuring, this will not stop the job. It will meet a violent end
    config.warn_execution_time = 5  # default is 5 second


    # To redefine a local erb like queues, retries, dead, add a new erb like this
    params = { queues: "#{absolute_path}/queues.erb" }
    config.merge(base: :local_erbs, params: params)

    # To add additional actions to a specific local_erb
    # Note Actions that are not attached to an ERB will raise an error
    params = {
        schedule_later: "#{absolute_path}/schedule_later.erb" ,
        delete: "#{absolute_path}/delete.erb" ,
    }
    config.merge(base: :local_erbs, params: params, action_type: :queues)
end

After checking out the repo, run make build && make bundle to install dependencies. Then, you can bash into a docker container by using make bash.

Similarly, a local dummy app is included with the gem. This allows running make s to load a local version of the gem in a isolated ENV.

Please note that changes to the code will require a restart of the server. Consult the Makefile for additional commands.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
