The type or namespace name 'Job' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Question

I'm upgrading a project from Sitecore 9.1.1 to Sitecore 10. After I changed all the DLLs from Sitecore version 9.1.1 to 10.0 and migrated the project from .Net 4.7.2 to 4.8 I had this problem with the Job, any Idea how can I solve it?

BTW, I tried to use these namespaces to solve the issue but nothing worked

using Sitecore.Jobs
using Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentExtraction.IFilter.Job

Answer 1

The Sitecore.Jobs.Job and Sitecore.Jobs.JobOptions classes have been removed in Sitecore 9.2. In their place you now have BaseJob and BaseJobOptions abstractions with DefaultJob and DefaultJobOptions concrete classes

In your case you can use DefaultJobOptions. You can see the constructor looks to be the same like on JobObtions.

public DefaultJobOptions(
      string jobName,
      string category,
      string siteName,
      object obj,
      string methodName)
      : this(jobName, category, siteName, obj, methodName, (object[]) null, false)
    {
      Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object) jobName, nameof (jobName));
      Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object) category, nameof (category));
      Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object) siteName, nameof (siteName));
      Assert.ArgumentNotNull(obj, nameof (obj));
      Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object) methodName, nameof (methodName));
    }
