Resque workers fail to run

[abscondment]

Let's look at the example from apn/tasks:

APN.password = ENV['CERT_PASS']
APN.full_certificate_path =  ENV['FULL_CERT_PATH']
APN.logger = Rails.logger

worker = ::Resque::Worker.new(APN::Jobs::QUEUE_NAME)

puts "*** Starting worker to send apple notifications in the background from #{worker}"
worker.work(ENV['INTERVAL'] || 5) # interval, will block

This starts just fine. However...

• require 'apn/jobs/resque_notification_job' is now run inside the backend method.
• The queue uses the job class APN::Jobs::ResqueNotificationJob.

So, since we've never called APN.backend in this worker (and we shouldn't have to do that!), the first queue item will crash when attempting to reference the un-loaded ResqueNotificationJob class.

I think the solution should load the job classes up front, rather than requiring a backend (which the workers won't even use) to be created.

How do you feel about trying to require both sidekiq and resque, like below?

begin
  require 'sidekiq'
  require 'apn/jobs/sidekiq_notification_job'
rescue LoadError
end

begin
  require 'resque'
  require 'apn/jobs/resque_notification_job'
rescue LoadError
end

This solves my problems, although it feels a little less than clean. If it's fine with you, I'll send a pull request.

Can you try latest master to see if solves the issue?

thanks
