Use Hangfire to pass Controller

question
1

The Google API needs instance of System.Web.Mvc.Controller for Mvc applications. So, I need to pass the Controller to Hangfire job’s method.

I passed and it failed with following error -

Hangfire.BackgroundJobClientException: Background job creation failed. See inner exception for details. ---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Error getting value from 'ReadTimeout' on 'System.Web.HttpInputStream'. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Timeouts are not supported on this stream.

Could you suggest any way to be able to use this controller in background job?

Without seeing what you’re attempting to do it’s very hard to make a recommendation on how tp fix the error. With that being said, passing large objects to enqueued jobs is not recommended. The way the data is stored and processed can lead to degradation in performance pretty quickly.
