Thanks for the quick reply! H5YR!

I will definitively try that.

But, will the UmbracoContext be setup in this case? Since there is no HttpRequest associated with my Job?

Well, going to try that out and will be back with an update.

Thanks again!

Yeah.. that is a really good question and I'm not sure of that either. Give it a go and see how far you get.

For future improvements I'm curious as to what exactly you're trying to access that need a request context, might be able to figure it out with you!

Yes thank you, somebody actually already linked that blog post in our slack. And its exactly what I needed! Marking your answer as the accepted one.

Cheers!

Hey Sebastian,

So I've been playing with this on my spare time and while I now have hangfire working based on the blog you shared I'm still blocked.

When in jobs (or registering the jobs) Umbraco.Web.Composing.Current has some of the key elements to null (UmbracoContext, UmbracoHelper, ...) and this is kind of expected, since there is no HttpRequest tied to them.

But Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current has all the values set, and the Factory returns a lot of instances. But the one I really want is not there.

I really would like my background job to access IPublishContent, for example, I have a settings DocType/Node with some settings that I need to access so I really would like a way to load that Node from NuCache so I know that I have what is actually published (and not IContent that might have changes that I don't want, since they are not published).

I probably could use IContent and the versions to find the latest one that is/was published (?) ... but is this the better/only way to do it?

I believe Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current should have a way to access the an instace of IPublishedCache.

Thanks

Thank you Sebastiaan,

and what about IoC dependencies injected in the hangfire job class?

I see Hangfire has Hangfire.LightInject project but I have two problems:

• how can I get the current LightInject.ServiceContainer from the core?
• where should i call the UseLightInjectActivator method to be sure that all the core dependencies are injected?

Hey!

I'm not sure that my response is the correct one, but this is how I solved that issue:

Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Factory is your container.

So:

Current.Factory.GetInstance<ILogger>()

Will give you the logger.

1. I created a separate Composition for my Hangfire, because I want some services to have a different lifespan than in Umbraco. I also created a CustomJobActivator and told Hangfire about it.

The sample code looks something like this:

// in your hangfire setup function
   GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseActivator(new UmbracoJobActivator(GetFactoryForJobComposition()));
   ...
}

private IFactory GetFactoryForJobComposition()
{
    // This is needed because we want to use a different IoC container than the one we use in Umbraco, specially because of the lifetime of certain objects
    var composition = new Composition(RegisterFactory.Create(), Current.TypeLoader, Current.ProfilingLogger, Current.RuntimeState);
    composition = RegisterCompositionServices(composition);

    return composition.CreateFactory();
}

private Composition RegisterCompositionServices(Composition composition)
{
    // because i want logging in my jobs
    composition.Register(_ => Current.Factory.GetInstance<ILogger>());
    // because i want profiling logging in my jobs
    composition.Register(_ => Current.Factory.GetInstance<IProfilingLogger>());
   // here you should register anything else you might need
   // now register your jobs    
    composition.Register(typeof(SomeHangFireJob));
    return composition;
}

// Job Activator class declaration
internal class UmbracoJobActivator : JobActivator
{
    private readonly IFactory Factory;

    public UmbracoJobActivator(IFactory factory)
    { Factory = factory; }

    public override object ActivateJob(Type jobType)
    {
        return Factory.GetInstance(jobType);
    }
}

Bear in mind that Current is Umbraco.Core.Composition.Current not Umbraco.Web.Composition.Current

With this, all my jobs are activating correctly and the injection is working perfectly.

Thank you Stephan!

I'll be waiting for your answer!

Yes! This should do the trick!

I'm going to try it later this week and will give you feedback then!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Works flawlessly! Thank you so much!

Hi Tiago!

I've looked at the samples that you provided, as far as I understand you need to read content from the cache in one of you jobs right?

Did you manage to get this working inside the job? Would you say that it's stable and "running fine"?

I would love know more about how you did this since I'm faced with the exact same issue in a project right now.

Any points in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Cheers!
