Active Job Continuation Step ↑

Represents a step within a continuable job.

When a step is completed, it is recorded in the job’s continuation state. If the job is interrupted, it will be resumed from after the last completed step.

Steps also have an optional cursor that can be used to track progress within the step. If a job is interrupted during a step, the cursor will be saved and passed back when the job is resumed.

It is the responsibility of the code in the step to use the cursor correctly to resume from where it left off.

Instance Public methods

advance!(from: nil)

Advance the cursor from the current or supplied value

The cursor will be advanced by calling the succ method on the cursor. An UnadvanceableCursorError error will be raised if the cursor does not implement succ.

# File activejob/lib/active_job/continuation/step.rb, line 49
def advance!(from: nil)
  from = cursor if from.nil?

  begin
    to = from.succ
  rescue NoMethodError
    raise UnadvanceableCursorError, "Cursor class '#{from.class}' does not implement 'succ'"
  end

  set! to
end

advanced?()

Has the cursor been advanced during this job execution?

# File activejob/lib/active_job/continuation/step.rb, line 67
def advanced?
  initial_cursor != cursor
end

checkpoint!()

Check if the job should be interrupted, and if so raise an Interrupt exception. The job will be requeued for retry.
