  my $bool = $job->is_finished;

Check if job performed with "start" is finished. Note that this method should only be used to implement custom workers.

kill

Send a signal to job performed with "start". Note that this method should only be used to implement custom workers.

note

  my $bool = $job->note(mojo => 'rocks', minion => 'too');

Change one or more metadata fields for this job. Setting a value to "undef" will remove the field. The new values will get serialized by "backend" in Minion (often with Mojo::JSON), so you shouldn't send objects and be careful with binary data, nested data structures with hash and array references are fine though.

  # Share progress information
  $job->note(progress => 95);

  # Share stats
  $job->note(stats => {utime => '0.012628', stime => '0.002429'});

parents

  my $parents = $job->parents;

  # Check parent state
  for my $parent ($job->parents->each) {
    my $info = $parent->info;
    say "$info->{id}: $info->{state}";
  }

perform

  $job->perform;

Perform job in new process and wait for it to finish. Note that this method should only be used to implement custom workers.

  my $pid = $job->pid;

Process id of the process spawned by "start" if available. Note that this method should only be used to implement custom workers.

remove

  my $bool = $job->remove;

retry

  my $bool = $job->retry;
  my $bool = $job->retry({delay => 10});

Transition job back to "inactive" state, already "inactive" jobs may also be retried to change options.

These options are currently available:

attempts

  attempts => 25
    

Number of times performing this job will be attempted.

delay

  delay => 10
    

Delay job for this many seconds (from now), defaults to 0.

expire

  expire => 300
    

Job is valid for this many seconds (from now) before it expires.

lax

  lax => 1
    

Existing jobs this job depends on may also have transitioned to the "failed" state to allow for it to be processed, defaults to "false". Note that this option is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

priority

  priority => 5
    

Job priority.

queue

run

  $job->run(@args);

Task to perform by this job. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass to create a custom task class. Note that this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

start

  $job = $job->start;

Perform job in new process, but do not wait for it to finish. Note that this method should only be used to implement custom workers.

  # Perform two jobs concurrently

  $job2->start;
  my ($first, $second);
  sleep 1
    until $first ||= $job1->is_finished and $second ||= $job2->is_finished;
