Unique jobs do not work with ActiveJob

[lucasteligioridis]

Trying to do the below task in order to create unique jobs, as per: https://github.com/contribsys/faktory/wiki/Pro-Unique-Jobs

My job classes look something like:

class FaktoryJob < ActiveJob::Base
  self.queue_adapter = :faktory
  queue_as 'default'
end

class SleepJob < FaktoryJob
  faktory_options custom: { unique_for: 5 }

  def perform
    sleep 10.seconds
  end
end

It seems that there might be an issue with the custom object being passed in correctly utilising ActiveJob vs native Faktory::Jobs As you can see two identical jobs are enqueued immediately after one another:

I've updated the wiki page to note that uniqueness does not work with the ActiveJob wrapper.

Is there any plans to support this? We're kind of relying on this feature in our stack.

Can you use Faktory::Job? It has the exact same perform_later API.

I'll speak to the team in regards to this, we were just hoping for a happy plug and play moment. Might be okay to just use Faktory::Job directly in this case though.

Unfortunately the fix is not easy. I will keep this open.

No problem 👍🏼 Thanks mate :)
