Dir[File.expand_path('../../workers/*.rb', __FILE__)].each{|file|require file}

Whats the best way to include your models in with the workers?

@jeregrine in config/workers.rb :

require File.expand_path('../boot.rb', __FILE__)

This way all your workers can do anything that you could do in a padrino console like access models.

@kke wouldn't your config/workers be loading up the boot and the boot loading up the workers?

In case anyone is trying to to get the sidekiq web interface running, just add the following to config.ru

# Load sidekiq web interface
require 'sidekiq/web' 
map('/sidekiq') { run Sidekiq::Web }

require File.expand_path("../config/boot.rb", __FILE__)
run Padrino.application
