Ensure sidekiq is running?

[RBoy]

This started today out of the blue.

I’ve searched the forum and tried all this:

1. Upgrading manually to the latest git and rebuilding the app
2. Rebooting the machine as @codinghorror suggested
3. Checked diskspace, over 20GB free
4. Trying what @clay suggested - trying to flush the queue (and then restarted and EVEN rebooting the machine) and I got:

[1] pry(main)> Sidekiq.redis { |r| puts r.flushall }
Passing ‘flushall’ command to redis as is; administrative commands cannot be effectively namespaced and should be called on the redis connection directly; passthrough has been deprecated and will be removed in redis-namespace 2.0 (at (pry):1:in `block in pry’)
OK
=> nil

Taking my clues from here, nothing seems to work. Any ideas what’s going on and how to fix it?

"Ensure sidekiq is running." when it is definitely running

@codinghorror @neil @sam I fixed it. Here’s what I had to do: cd /var/discourse ./launcher ssh app rails c Sidekiq.redis { |r| puts r.flushall } Then I had to exit the container and ./launcher restart app That cleared the Sidekiq Redis queue and everything started back up. If I had to guess, I upgraded Discourse when there was a backup job in the queue in Redis and somehow, upon restarting the app, the name of a class or something associated with Redis, Sidekiq, or backing up had changed, s…

Here’s what finally worked:

I ran this again
Sidekiq.redis { |r| puts r.flushall }

Then I restarted the app
sudo ./launcher restart app

Then I rebooted the machine (again)

And now it started working.

Oddly, my logs are completely empty.

I have the same issue. This ‘solution’ is not satisfying since:

• it does not tell why this happened.
• it does not make clear which steps are required, and what they do exactly.
• it requires a reboot!!!

I would expect restart to fix it, and I certainly do not plan on rebooting the machine.

This ‘solution’ is not satisfying since

I would agree, I really don’t know why it happened and what exactly fixed it. Just that repeating the steps over a few times and rebooting a few times fixed it, but like you said I’m not convinced that’s the long term solution.

Hello. So what actions should I take?

[RBoy]

First upgrade to the latest version (there are some new patches related to this I think that went in a few hours ago). Open yourwebsite/admin/upgrade and upgrade to the latest version (+101 is working for me now, so you’re good there)

Then from the terminal

cd /var/discourse
sudo ./launcher enter app
rails c
Sidekiq.redis { |r| puts r.flushall }
exit
exit
sudo ./launcher restart app

Then reboot the machine. I did this loop 2 times and it solved the issue.

I think someone also mentioned you can try a few things

1. Leave it for 24 hours and the scheduler should kick off again and this error should go away
2. Force the schedules to start, open yourwebsite/sidekiq, goto scheduler and trigger the schedule Jobs::VersionCheck

Yeah, simply updating and waiting 24 hours (or manually triggering Jobs::VersionCheck in the web UI as you suggested) should suffice, no messing within Rails necessary

I simply upgraded to the latest version (now running v1.9.0.beta2 +98), and didn’t have to reboot.
