POIncrementing using delayed_job
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to delay the increment on a column (<code>yest_shareholder_count</code>) by one day whenever an <code>investment</code> is created in order to keep a record of the number of users that had an <code>investment</code> in a <code>venture</code> one day ago (so I can use this data to produce graphs tracking the number of investors over time).</p> <p>I figured the simplest way to do this would be to use <code>delayed_job</code>, but this isn't working. The delayed_job is created in a separate table and, according to the SQLite DB Browser, it is run one day later. <strong>But the yest_shareholder_count column is not being incremented.</strong></p> <p><code>Venture</code> Model:</p> <pre><code> def yest_increment self.increment!(:yest_shareholder_count) end handle_asynchronously :yest_increment, :run_at => Proc.new {1.minute.from_now} </code></pre> <p><code>Investments</code> Controller:</p> <pre><code> def create @venture = Venture.find(params[:share_id]) @venture_increment= @venture.increment(:shareholder_count) @venture_yest_increment= @venture.yest_increment @investment = current_user.invest!(@venture) if @venture_increment.save and @venture_yest_increment.save respond_to do |format| format.html {redirect_to @venture} end end end </code></pre> <p>The straightforward increment happens as it should, but the delayed increment never does.</p> <p>These are the contents of the "handler" column in the delayed_jobs table, just in case they are useful:</p> <pre><code>--- !ruby/struct:Delayed::PerformableMethod object: !ruby/ActiveRecord:Venture attributes: created_at: 2011-06-21 07:00:12.252808 onemth_shareholder_count: 0 updated_at: 2011-08-09 16:50:36.864354 onewk_shareholder_count: 0 shareholder_count: 4 id: 49 user_id: 40 yest_shareholder_count: 0 method_name: :yest_increment_without_delay args: [] </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure where the "yest_increment_without_delay" is coming from, or why "args" is blank...</p> <p>Any help much appreciated.</p> <p>EDIT: I have "1.minute.from_now" rather than "1.day.from_now" just to test the code.</p>
