* First stab at implementing worker statistics.
* Moved worker data restoration logic to worker.refresh().
* Failed and successfull job counts are now properly incremented.
* Worker now keeps track of total_working_time
* Ensure job.ended_at is set in the case of unhandled job failure.
* handle_job_failure shouldn't crash if job.started_at is not present.
* Added a custom exception for timeout transfer
* Added a util to transfer timeout to a united format
* Transfer timeout format when creating a queue or enqueue jobs
* Fixed typos
* Fixed bug in transfer_timeout function
* Added test for function transfer_timeout
* Updated transfer_timeout to allow uppercase unit
* Renamed function in utils
* Solve the UnicodeDecodeError while decode literal things.
* Add test case for when worker result is a unicode or str object that other than
pure ascii content.
Currently, the job is being performed inside `enqueue_call()`, which
means that `async=False` has no effect if `enqueue_job()` is called
directly. This commit fixes that.
Worker handle_exception and move_to_failed_queue couldn't handle a situation where the exception raised had non-ascii characters. This caused a UnicodeDecodeError when trying to format the exception strings.
If on Python 2, ensure strings get decoded before building the exception string.
Closes#482
This includes:
- a partial refactor of the CLI to organize the shared options
- extends the tests in areas where passing custom backend classes makes sense
- allow setting the core CLI options as env vars
- minor cosmetic changes here and there
Test that demonstrates that if a work-horse process is terminated unexpectedly
the job being processed could be stuck at the "Started" state
