The new plugin creates a pidfile at location
#{Rails.root}/tmp/delayed_job.pid when a worker starts and then removes it when a worker stops. It uses lifecycle.around(:execute) to achieve this.
The file is created in "write exclusive" mode. This means if the file already exists, Errno::EEXIST is raised. This ensures that a worker doesn't overwrite a pidfile in use.
This plugin is useful to allow an outside observer (e.g. a healthcheck) to check if the worker started successfully.
The plugin is not installed by default for backwards compatibility. Users can use it by adding to their initializer:
