* Allow keyword arguments to be used with Active Job. Fixes #18741. *Sean Griffin* * Add `:only` option to `assert_enqueued_jobs`, to check the number of times a specific kind of job is enqueued. Example: def test_logging_job assert_enqueued_jobs 1, only: LoggingJob do LoggingJob.perform_later HelloJob.perform_later('jeremy') end end *George Claghorn* * `ActiveJob::Base.deserialize` delegates to the job class. Since `ActiveJob::Base#deserialize` can be overridden by subclasses (like `ActiveJob::Base#serialize`) this allows jobs to attach arbitrary metadata when they get serialized and read it back when they get performed. Example: class DeliverWebhookJob < ActiveJob::Base def serialize super.merge('attempt_number' => (@attempt_number || 0) + 1) end def deserialize(job_data) super @attempt_number = job_data['attempt_number'] end rescue_from(TimeoutError) do |exception| raise exception if @attempt_number > 5 retry_job(wait: 10) end end *Isaac Seymour* Please check [4-2-stable](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4-2-stable/activejob/CHANGELOG.md) for previous changes.
