NotImplementedError Use a queueing backend to enqueue jobs in the future

I'm trying to use ActiveJob to queue jobs like email scheduling, but I get a

NotImplementedError (Use a queueing backend to enqueue jobs in the future. error

After a update is committed to the database, in my model.rb file

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  include ActiveModel::Dirty
  require './app/jobs/email_scheduler_job'

  def send_approved_mail
    if self.approved_was == false && self.approved
      ArticleMailer.article_approved(self.owner).deliver_later
      EmailSchedulerJob.set(wait: 2.weeks).perform_later(owner)
    end
  end
end

and in my EmailSchedulerJob

class EmailSchedulerJob < ActiveJob::Base
  queue_as :default

  def perform(*args)
    # Do something later
  end
end

You need to use a queue adapter to enqueue jobs in the future. Sidekiq is great in most cases, but it is quite complicated to set up. I think using sidekiq for email scheduling seems like an overkill. I would recommend using sucker_punch for this.

To use sucker_punch as the adapter for ActiveJob, add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'sucker_punch'

And then configure the backend to use sucker_punch:

# config/initializers/sucker_punch.rb
Rails.application.configure do
  config.active_job.queue_adapter = :sucker_punch
end

You don't need to create a job for sending email. ActionMailer is integrated with ActiveJob so deliver_later should be enough.

Hope it helps :)
