Guard::Qu automatically starts/stops/restarts qu workers

forked from Guard::Resque

Please be sure to have Guard installed before continue.

Install the gem:

gem install guard-qu

Add it to your Gemfile (inside test group):

gem 'guard-qu'

Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:

guard init qu

Please read Guard usage doc.

I suggest you put the qu guard definition before your test/rspec guard if your tests depend on it being active.

guard 'qu', :environment => 'development' do
  watch(%r{^app/(.+)\.rb$})
  watch(%r{^lib/(.+)\.rb$})
end

Feel free to be more specific, for example watching only for app/models and app/jobs to avoid reloading on a javascript file change.

You can customize the qu task via the following options:

• environment: the rails environment to run the workers in (defaults to nil)
• task: the name of the rake task to use (defaults to "qu:work")
• queue: the qu queue to run (defaults to "default")
• trace: whether to include --trace on the rake command (defaults to nil)
• stop_signal: how to kill the process when restarting (defaults to TERM)

Ideas for this gem came from Guard::WEBrick.

I hacked this together from the guard-resque gem for use with Qu. All credit go to the original authors.
