Sidekiq::Retries

This subclasses the stock Sidekiq retries middleware to give you some additional options to conditionally retry jobs irrespective of whether retries are enabled for the job.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-retries'

Usage

class NoRetryJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options retry: false  # or retry: 0

  def perform
    # force a retry
    raise Sidekiq::Retries::Retry.new(RuntimeError.new('whatever happened'))        
  end
end

class RetryJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options retry: 25

  def perform                        
    # fail the job, don't retry it 
    raise Sidekiq::Retries::Fail.new(RuntimeError.new('whatever happened'))
  end
end

Caveats

• Jobs with retry: 0 don't ever appear to show up in the Sidekiq 3 Dead queue
