Daniel Morton ee60ce5606 Communicate enqueue failures to callers of perform_later
There is presently no clean way of telling a caller of `perform_later`
the reason why a job failed to enqueue. When the job is enqueued
successfully, the job object itself is returned, but when the job can
not be enqueued, only `false` is returned. This does not allow callers
to distinguish between classes of failures.

One important class of failures is when the job backend experiences a
network partition when communicating with its underlying datastore. It
is entirely possible for that network partition to recover and as such,
code attempting to enqueue a job may wish to take action to reenqueue
that job after a brief delay. This is distinguished from the class of
failures where due a business rule defined in a callback in the
application, a job fails to enqueue and should not be retried.

This PR changes the following:

- Allows a block to be passed to the `perform_later` method. After the
  `enqueue` method is executed, but before the result is returned, the
  job will be yielded to the block. This allows the code invoking the
  `perform_later` method to inspect the job object, even in failure
  scenarios.

- Adds an exception `EnqueueError` which job adapters can raise if they
  detect a problem specific to their underlying implementation or
  infrastructure during the enqueue process.

- Adds two properties to the job base class: `successfully_enqueued` and
  `enqueue_error`. `enqueue_error` will be populated by the `enqueue`
  method if it rescues an `EnqueueError` raised by the job backend.
  `successfully_enqueued` will be true if the job is not rejected by
  callbacks and does not cause the job backend to raise an
  `EnqueueError` and will be `false` otherwise.

This will allow developers to do something like the following:

    MyJob.perform_later do |job|
      unless job.successfully_enqueued?
        if job.enqueue_error&.message == "Redis was unavailable"
          # invoke some code that will retry the job after a delay
        end
      end
    end

  • Communicate enqueue failures to callers of perform_later.

    perform_later can now optionally take a block which will execute after the adapter attempts to enqueue the job. The block will receive the job instance as an argument even if the enqueue was not successful. Additionally, ActiveJob adapaters now have the ability to raise an ActiveJob::EnqueueError which will be caught and stored in the job instance so code attempting to enqueue jobs can inspect any raised EnqueueError using the block.

    MyJob.perform_later do |job|
      unless job.successfully_enqueued?
        if job.enqueue_error&.message == "Redis was unavailable"
          # invoke some code that will retry the job after a delay
        end
      end
    end
