Examples

Worker

<?php

// AcmeDemoBundle\Worker\ExampleWorker.php

namespace AcmeDemoBundle\Worker;

use GearmanJob;
use Laelaps\GearmanBundle\Annotation as Gearman;
use Laelaps\GearmanBundle\Worker;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

class ExampleWorker extends Worker
{
    /**
     * @Gearman\PointOfEntry(name="example_job_name")
     * @param GearmanJob $job
     * @param Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface $output
     * @return boolean returning false means job failure
     */
    public function doExampleJob(GearmanJob $job, OutputInterface $output)
    {
        // do your job
    }
}

Running worker

Symfony Style Notation

$ ./app/console gearman:worker:run AcmeBundle:ExampleWorker

Note that this would look for Acme\Bundle\AcmeBundle\Worker\ExampleWorker

$ ./app/console gearman:worker:run ./src/AcmeDemoBundle/Worker/ExampleWorker.php

Wildcard is also available (not recommended but possible - results in single process for multiple workers):

$ ./app/console gearman:worker:run "./src/AcmeDemoBundle/Worker/*.php"

Runs all workers from all bundles:

$ ./app/console gearman:worker:run "./src/*/Worker/*.php"

Calling job from controller

<?php

class ExampleController
{
    public function exampleAction()
    {
        // job name taken from PointOfEntry annotation
        $this->get('laelaps.gearman.client')->doBackground('example_job_name', $optionalWorkload = '');
    }
}

Calling job from command line

$ ./app/console gearman:job:run example_job_name

$ ./app/console gearman:job:run example_job_name optional_workload_string
