SYNOPSIS
use Minion::Job;
my $job = Minion::Job->new(id => $id, minion => $minion, task => 'foo');
DESCRIPTION
Minion::Job is a container for Minion jobs.
EVENTS
Minion::Job inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new
ones.
failed
$job->on(failed => sub {
my ($job, $err) = @_;
...
});
Emitted in the worker process managing this job or the process performing it, after it has
transitioned to the "failed" state.
$job->on(failed => sub {
my ($job, $err) = @_;
say "Something went wrong: $err";
});
finished
$job->on(finished => sub {
my ($job, $result) = @_;
...
});
Emitted in the worker process managing this job or the process performing it, after it has
transitioned to the "finished" state.
$job->on(finished => sub {
my ($job, $result) = @_;
my $id = $job->id;
say "Job $id is finished.";
});
spawn
$job->on(spawn => sub {
my ($job, $pid) = @_;
...
});
Emitted in the worker process managing this job, after a new process has been spawned for
processing.
$job->on(spawn => sub {
my ($job, $pid) = @_;
my $id = $job->id;
say "Job $id running in process $pid";
});
start
$job->on(start => sub {
my $job = shift;
...
});
Emitted in the process performing this job, after it has been spawned.
$job->on(start => sub {
my $job = shift;
$0 = $job->id;
});

METHODS
Minion::Job inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new
ones.
app
my $app = $job->app;
Get application from "app" in Minion.
# Longer version
my $app = $job->minion->app;
fail
my $bool = $job->fail;
my $bool = $job->fail('Something went wrong!');
my $bool = $job->fail({whatever => 'Something went wrong!'});
Transition from "active" to "failed" state, and if there are attempts remaining,
transition back to "inactive" with a delay based on "backoff" in Minion.
finish
my $bool = $job->finish;
my $bool = $job->finish('All went well!');
my $bool = $job->finish({whatever => 'All went well!'});
Transition from "active" to "finished" state.
info
my $info = $job->info;
Get job information.
# Check job state
my $state = $job->info->{state};
# Get job metadata
my $progress = $job->info->{notes}{progress};
# Get job result
my $result = $job->info->{result};
These fields are currently available:
args
args => ['foo', 'bar']
Job arguments.
attempts
attempts => 25
Number of times performing this job will be attempted.
children
children => ['10026', '10027', '10028']
Jobs depending on this job.
created
created => 784111777
Epoch time job was created.
delayed
delayed => 784111777
Epoch time job was delayed to.
finished
finished => 784111777
Epoch time job was finished.
notes
notes => {foo => 'bar', baz => [1, 2, 3]}
Hash reference with arbitrary metadata for this job.
parents
parents => ['10023', '10024', '10025']
Jobs this job depends on.
priority
priority => 3
Job priority.
queue
queue => 'important'
Queue name.
result
result => 'All went well!'
Job result.
retried
retried => 784111777
Epoch time job has been retried.
retries
retries => 3
Number of times job has been retried.
started
started => 784111777
Epoch time job was started.
state
state => 'inactive'
Current job state, usually "active", "failed", "finished" or "inactive".
task
task => 'foo'
Task name.
worker
worker => '154'
Id of worker that is processing the job.
is_finished
my $bool = $job->is_finished;
Check if job performed with "start" is finished.
note
my $bool = $job->note(foo => 'bar');
Change a metadata field for this job. The new value will get serialized by "backend" in
Minion (often with Mojo::JSON), so you shouldn't send objects and be careful with binary
data, nested data structures with hash and array references are fine though.
# Share progress information
$job->note(progress => 95);
# Share stats
$job->note(stats => {utime => '0.012628', stime => '0.002429'});
perform
$job->perform;
Perform job in new process and wait for it to finish.
pid
my $pid = $job->pid;
Process id of the process spawned by "start" if available.
remove
my $bool = $job->remove;
Remove "failed", "finished" or "inactive" job from queue.
retry
my $bool = $job->retry;
my $bool = $job->retry({delay => 10});
Transition job back to "inactive" state, already "inactive" jobs may also be retried to
change options.
These options are currently available:
attempts
attempts => 25
Number of times performing this job will be attempted.
delay
delay => 10
Delay job for this many seconds (from now), defaults to 0.
priority
priority => 5
Job priority.
queue
queue => 'important'
Queue to put job in.
start
$job = $job->start;
Perform job in new process, but do not wait for it to finish.
# Perform two jobs concurrently
$job1->start;
$job2->start;
my ($first, $second);
sleep 1
until $first ||= $job1->is_finished and $second ||= $job2->is_finished;
stop
$job->stop;
Stop job performed with "start" immediately.
