Sidekiq configuration for multiple environments

Question

I have looked at multiple sources and tried various scenarios but couldn't resolve this hence the issue. Please point me in the right direction.

Like everybody I have 3 env (development, staging and production).

I have the following in my sidekiq.yml file

# Options here can still be overridden by cmd line args.
#   sidekiq -C config.yml  
---
:verbose: false
:namespace: xyz
:logfile: log/sidekiq.log
:concurrency:  25
:strict: false
:pidfile: tmp/pids/sidekiq.pid
:queues:
  - [stg_xyz_tests_queue, 10]
  - [stg_default_xyz_queue, 2]
  - [stg_xyz_default_queue, 3]
development:
  :verbose: true
  :concurrency:  15
  :queues:
    - [dev_xyz_queue, 10]
    - [dev_default_xyz_queue, 2]
    - [dev_xyz_default_queue, 3]
staging:
  :queues:
    - [stg_xyz_queue, 10]
    - [stg_default_xyz_queue, 2]
    - [stg_xyz_default_queue, 3]
production:
  :queues:
    - [prod_xyz_queue, 10]
    - [prod_default_xyz_queue, 2]
    - [prod_xyz_default_queue, 3]

With this I was hoping that when I start sidekiq with the command

RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} bundle exec sidekiq -C config/sidekiq.yml

that it would pickup all the values from the configuration file and start sidekiq with the appropriate queues and log file at log/sidekiq.log but that doesn't work. Sidekiq starts but it only creates the stg_xyz_tests_queue, stg_default_xyz_queue and stg_xyz_default_queue no matter what environment we use.

The other approach I tried was using the following code in the config/environments/development.rb

  #configure Sidekiq for dev environment
  Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
    config.options[:namespace] = "xyz"
    config.options[:concurrency] = 25
    config.options[:verbose] = true
    config.options[:strict] = false
    config.options[:logfile] = "log/sidekiq.log"
    config.options[:pidfile] = "tmp/pids/sidekiq.pid"

    queues = Array.new
    10.times do
      queues.push "dev_xyz_queue"
    end

    2.times do
      queues.push "dev_default_xyz_queue"
    end

    3.times do
      queues.push "dev_xyz_default_queue"
    end

    config.options[:queues] = queues
    puts "Sidekiq server config options for development => #{config.options.to_yaml}"
  end

With this the queues are created ok but the logfile is not created or written and I need to duplicate this code for all the 3 environments.

What is the best way to get sidekiq working seamlessly for my setup Thanks for your help in advance !!!

Answer 1

Use -e option

bundle exec sidekiq -e beta -C config/sidekiq.yml

If all environments(development, staging and production) are on same server then use namespace. In your initializers/sidekiq.rb file,

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
    config.redis = { url: 'redis://localhost:6379/0', namespace: "sidekiq_app_name_#{Rails.env}" }
end

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
    config.redis = { url: 'redis://localhost:6379/0', namespace: "sidekiq_app_name_#{Rails.env}" }
end
