around_perform

Defines a callback that will get called around the job’s perform method.

class VideoProcessJob < ActiveJob::Base
  queue_as :default

  around_perform do |job, block|
    UserMailer.notify_video_started_processing(job.arguments.first)
    block.call
    UserMailer.notify_video_processed(job.arguments.first)
  end

  def perform(video_id)
    Video.find(video_id).process
  end
end

You can access the return value of the job only if the execution wasn’t halted.

class VideoProcessJob < ActiveJob::Base
  around_perform do |job, block|
    value = block.call
    puts value # => "Hello World!"
  end

  def perform
    "Hello World!"
  end
end
