Run Oban jobs in not booted system [SOLVED]

[rapid seal]

Hi guys, I am trying to use Oban to queue jobs that send emails from a code that is run in task runner.

Sample code:

Ecto.Migrator.with_repo(MySystem.Repo, fn repo ->
  Application.ensure_all_started(:oban)

  Oban.start_link(repo: repo, engine: Oban.Pro.Engines.Smart, queues: [email: 10])

  send_emails()
end)

I'm getting runtime error: (RuntimeError) could not lookup Ecto repo MySystem.Repo because it was not started or it does not exist

Any tips or help would be really appreciated. 🙏🏻

Thank you!

You need to start MySystem.Repo either with a supervisor or using the start_link method on it

Thank you for answering @safe obsidian 🙇

even though I already used the MySystem.Repo in the migrator?

[safe obsidian]

with_repo will stop the repo after the func ends, most likely whats happening is you are queueing these emails to send but then the func ends and it stops the repo afterwards before the emails can fully send. If this is a long running application I would add both the repo and oban to a supervision tree

with_repo/2 is made for runnin migrations usually

It makes sense now. Thank you @safe obsidian 🙇
