Module: Resque::Plugins::Retry

Includes:
Logging
Included in:
ExponentialBackoff
Defined in:
lib/resque/plugins/retry.rb,
lib/resque/plugins/retry/logging.rb

Overview

If you want your job to retry on failure, simply extend your module/class with this module:

class DeliverWebHook
  extend Resque::Plugins::Retry # allows 1 retry by default.
  @queue = :web_hooks

  def self.perform(url, hook_id, hmac_key)
    heavy_lifting
  end
end

Easily do something custom:

class DeliverWebHook
  extend Resque::Plugins::Retry
  @queue = :web_hooks

  @retry_limit = 8  # default: 1
  @retry_delay = 60 # default: 0

  # used to build redis key, for counting job attempts.
  def self.retry_identifier(url, hook_id, hmac_key)
    "#{url}-#{hook_id}"
  end

  def self.perform(url, hook_id, hmac_key)
    heavy_lifting
  end
end

  logger.error(
    "Resque job received exception #{exception} and is giving up")
end

Registering a callback with a Symbol


give_up_callback :my_callback

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol?) (defaults to: nil)

Yields:

  • (exception, *args)

Yield Parameters:

#on_failure_retry(exception, *args) ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Note:

This hook will only allow execution once per job perform attempt. This was added because Resque v1.20.0 calls the hook twice. IMO; this isn’t something resque-retry should have to worry about!

Resque on_failure hook

Checks if our retry criteria is valid, if it is we try again. Otherwise the retry attempt count is deleted from Redis.

#retry_criteria_check(method = nil) {|exception, *args| ... } ⇒ Object

Register a retry criteria check callback to be run before retrying the job again. Can be registered with a block or a symbol.

If any callback returns ‘true`, the job will be retried.

Examples:

Registering a custom retry criteria check.


retry_criteria_check do |exception, *args|
  if exception.message =~ /InvalidJobId/
    # don't retry if we got passed a invalid job id.
    false
  else
    true
  end

#try_again_callback(method = nil) {|exception, *args| ... } ⇒ Object

Register a try again callback that will be called when the job fails but is trying again. Can be registered with a block or a symbol.

Examples:

Registering a callback with a block


try_again_callback do |exception, *args|
  logger.error(
    "Resque job received exception #{exception} and is trying again")
end

Registering a callback with a Symbol


try_again_callback :my_callback

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol?) (defaults to: nil)

Yields:

  • (exception, *args)

Yield Parameters:

  • exception (Exception) —

    the exception that was raised

  • args (Array) —

    job arguments
