Remove a hangfire job without instantiating a hangfire server

I have 2 separate apps. One uses HangFire and schedules a recurring job. Another one contains tests. Tests are integrational, so they reuse actual pathways without mocking anything. Both apps have an access to the same db

As a result of running a test a recurring job appears, created by the first app, and it is desirable. However since the test is integrational - it is run on the production DB, so after the test is done I would like to remove created recurring job. And I would like to handle removing in a test.

I'd like to know if I can configure hangfire classes in the second app in a way, that would allow me to remove a recurring job, created by the first app.

If I simply configure a hangfire to use the same SQL server in the second app then a new HangFireServer will be instantiated that will start "grabbing" jobs for execution.

I can run an SQL query to remove the job, but I'd like to avoid that.

I hope I explained myself clear enough.

In Hangfire you can Remove/Add Job whether it is recurringjob or background job as long as you populate JobStorage first.

There probably two way to set this up.

JobStorage.Current = new SqlServerStorage("Your ConnectionString");;

or

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseSqlServerStorage("Your ConnectionString");

Then you can now use your RecurringJob.RemoveIfExists("id") and no need to instantiate Hangfire server. Assuming that you already have created the Hangfire Scheme before hand in other application.

Assuming that you created your recurring job with an id you can just do RecurringJob.RemoveIfExists("id"), as stated on the documentation page: http://docs.hangfire.io/en/latest/background-methods/performing-recurrent-tasks.html
