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 useslifecycle.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:
Delayed::Worker.plugins << Delayed::Plugin::Pidfile
