Is it possible to save metadata to jobs when using Sidekiq?
For example, I want to execute a validation as a background job so that when it finishes, any errors encountered would be saved as metadata inside the job.
If this is possible, will I still be able to recover this metadata after the job is finished or dead?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, Sidekiq provides middleware (client & server) and the possibility to add metadata to the job.
def call(worker_class, job, queue, redis_pool)
# return false/nil to stop the job from going to redis
return false if queue != 'default'
job['customer'] = Customer.current_id
yield
end
