Sidekiq Delayed Mailer not sending emails

Question

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to use Sidekiq/Redis to send emails in the background. I should note the following:

1. I am using devise-async and it works with no issues

2. My ActionMailer settings are good
   If I change my mailer calls to UserMailer.contact_email(name).deliver! The email sends just fine. What is not working is UserMailer.delay.contact_email(name)

3. I can see the jobs going through in my logs, and you'd even go so far as to assume the mails were making it through. It was only when I sent to myself that I noticed it wasn't working:
   Apr 08 18:36:58 app01-production sidekiq: 2013-04-09T00:36:58Z 31155 TID-1jdwoq Sidekiq::Extensions::DelayedClass JID-6143790ebbf6e8bbc4a7bb85 INFO: done: 4.923 sec

It is obviously calling the DelayedClass extension on the mail object, but no-go. Given that devise-async works, I'm wondering if I am using the wrong syntax or something?`

Thanks!!

Answer 1

I hit into a similar issue too. I made a tiny change in the way the delayed extension calls #deliver.

Try this out: gem 'sidekiq', :git => "git@bitbucket.org:benjamintanweihao/sidekiq.git".

If this works out for you, then it might due to msg.from not being set.

The relevant code is here.
