Added job scheduling, looking for feedback. about resque HOT 8 CLOSED

This looks like a big enough feature that it could stand alone as its own gem, I think.

from resque.

Yeah, it does feel like separate functionality, but it's pretty nice to have the UI integrated with resque-web. I'll look into rolling a separate gem and maybe adding a separate interface.

thanks.

I think it'd be awesome if we could hook a resque-scheduling gem into the web UI as another tab. Not sure how that would work, though. Any ideas?

from resque.

Completely agree :). Could make resque-web support plugins for new tabs/functionality. Seems a little complicated for such a light app, but it would probably also allow for making failure handling/reporting a little more modular. Not sure on the details of how it would work though.

Other option is have resque-scheduler patch resque-web in some way, but that just seems like an ongoing headache.

In the meantime, I'll pull my non-ui changes into the resque-scheduler gem.

Ok, the scheduler is a separate gem (v0.0.1 on gemcutter).

I'll keep thinking about extended the resque-web ui.

from resque.

So, I played around with this and it's easy enough for new gems to extend Resque::Server to add functionality, but adding tabs is the limiting part (since they're hard coded in the layout). It's easy enough to add though. I created a branch for it:

http://github.com/bvandenbos/resque/commit/9f8c6a654a27ef668b0a20e194025e904b438610

WIth this change to resque, other gems can extend resque-web to add new tabs (by modifying Resque::Server.tabs. It's a little wacky, but pretty small impact.

What do you think?

Sweet, merged in! Closing this out - thanks.
