cakephp-queue

Improvements

• Display duration of each job in the job overview.
• Allow adding helpers to view builder of Email tasks

Improvements

Allow configuration of serializing strategy:

• Object (default for BC) using legacy serialize()
• JSON using json_encode()
• Any custom one implementing the SerializerInterface

'Queue' => [
    ...
    'serializerClass' => \Queue\Utility\JsonSerializer::class,
    'serializerConfig' => [...],
],

Added new MailerTask specifically for sending reusable emails using Mailer objects, but without passing through actual objects.
Instead, the class string (FQCN) is passed only together with config.
This allows it to work with JSON strategy and even in between updates of the server (as passed objects could fail to be "unserialized").

$data = [
    'class' => TestMailer::class,
    'action' => 'testAction',
    'vars' => [...],
];
$queuedJobsTable->createJob('Queue.Mailer', $data);

Added same JSON safe strategy for EmailTask and deprecated the object ways here only to be used with legacy ObjectSerializer.

$data = [
    'class' => Message::class,
    'settings' => $settings,
];
$queuedJobsTable->createJob('Queue.Email', $data);

The benefit of JSON serializing is:

• Less payload (data vs full object).
• More resilient after updates for non finished tasks: object can fail to unserialize if different, data can be handled with migration if needed.
• Easier to debug and modify (e.g. for local dev/testing).

Fixes

Small CakePHP 3 fixes

Improvements

Added AddFromBackendInterface to allow listing only possible tasks in GUI.
Some tasks that can be added (implementing AddInterface) require arguments and can as such only be executed from CLI.
With the new interface, this can now be differentiated.

Fixes

Fixed markJobDone() to add valid 1 (100%) value and added validation for expected 0...1 range.
