[delayed_job] Using attr_accessible For Mass-Assignment

[Bryce Thornton]

I explicitly turn off mass-assignment in ActiveRecord via this
initializer:

ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil)

This requires that I define the allowable attributes to be mass-
assigned in any ActiveRecord object. DJ uses mass-assignment for the
following attributes :priority, :payload_object, :run_at. I've added
the following line to lib/delayed/backend/active_record.rb to get it
to work for me:

attr_accessible :priority, :payload_object, :run_at

Is there a way for me to extend the DJ ActiveRecord object so I can do
this outside of the core DJ code? Or, would it be possible to add this
to core DJ for people like me that disable mass-assignment?

Thanks,
Bryce

You should be able to put the following in an initializer:

Delayed::Worker.backend = :active_record
Delayed::Job.attr_accessible :priority, :payload_object, :run_at

That seems to work. Thanks!
