Enqueuing Sidekiq Batches using Redis

[Abhi Rao]

I'm enqueuing some jobs by dropping them directly into redis. I'm following the "How do I push a job to Sidekiq without Rails?" section in https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/FAQ

We're running sidekiq pro and I'm wondering if it's possible to set these jobs up in batches to make it easier to track progress and perhaps notify on completion. I'm assuming I would have to emulate the work done by Batch#jobs and the batch client middleware. Is this a viable option and if so is it documented?

Unfortunately there's no documented way to do this.  Your assumptions are entirely correct, you can build the batch data yourself and inject the jobs into it with Redis directly.  The jobs need a 'bid' attribute and the batch data needs to be created also but the data model is all subject to change in major version bumps: the batch data model in 2.x is significantly different from 1.x.

Thanks for confirming. I'm not sure it's worth it in my use case - I mostly care that all jobs are done. But if I do give it a shot I will reply with the steps I used.
