A few things have changed. First of all, there is no separate copy of
the argparse-based `rqinfo` anymore. It now fully utilizes the new
Click subcommand. In other words: `rqinfo` and `rq info` both invoke
the same function under the hood.
In order to support this, the main command group now does NOT take
a `url` option and initializes the connection. Besides supporting this
alias pattern, this change was useful for two more reasons: (1) it
allows us to add subcommands that don't need the Redis server running in
the future, and (2) it makes the `--url` option an option underneath
each subcommand. This avoids command invocations that look like this:
$ rq --url <url> info --more --flags
And instead allows us to pass the URL to each subcommand where it's
deemed necessary:
$ rq info --url <url> --more --flags
Which is much friendlier to use/remember.
Pull request nvie/rq#192 solved the issue for `pip install rq` but not when
directly installing from a git repository as in
`pip install git+git://github.com/nvie/rq@master` that still creates a
possibly conflicting `tests` folder.
redis-py now supports URL-based connection configuration. When --url
is specified, we use it to construct the Redis object. Otherwise, we
use the existing argument-based construction method.
`Redis.from_url()` is new in redis-py 2.6.2, so that prerequisite has
been adjusted accordingly.
This reverts commit 1ab8c19696 and
reintroduces all changes made by @dstufft.
Still, it needs more patches to reeanble the default log-to-console
behaviour. See #121.
Unfortunately zc.buildout does not support distribute/setuptools script
option (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/422724), but it
does support console_scripts. This also makes the scripts importable,
allowing for unittest and code reuse.
This aids unpacking in the case of a function that isn't importable from
the worker's runtime. The unpickling will now (almost) always succeed,
and throw an ImportError later on, when the function is actually
accessed (thus imported implicitly).
The end result is a job on the failed queue, with exc_info describing
the import error, which is tremendously useful.
