Accessing the job from within the perform method

[brendon]

I'm currently using DelayedJob with this custom plugin that allows me to access the provider_job_id from within the perform method of a job:

class Delayed::ActiveJobPlugin < Delayed::Plugin
  callbacks do |lifecycle|
    lifecycle.before(:invoke_job) do |job|
      job.payload_object.job_data['provider_job_id'] = job.id if job.payload_object.respond_to?(:job_data)
    end
  end
end

Delayed::Worker.plugins << Delayed::ActiveJobPlugin

The Sidekiq adapter in Rails also does something similar:

I'm intending to migrate to Solid Queue but just wondered if this is an option currently? From looking at the source I don't seen the job id being passed in. I have two use cases:

• Keeping track of a job that generates another job at the end of its run (so a kind of recurring job configurable by the user). I store the job_id in the database so that I can destroy that job and schedule a new job if the user changes the time it should run.
• Skipping the execution of a job if the object passed into the job has an updated_at that is greater than the job's created_at. This signals that there's now a newer job scheduled that should take precedence. I use this for WebPush notifications.
