Take2

Define rules for retrying behavior.
Yield block of code into the public api of the take2.
Things getting take two :)

Install

gem install take2

Examples

class KratosService
  include Take2


  number_of_retries 3

  # Could be configured globally or on class level.
  retriable_errors Net::HTTPRetriableError, Net::HTTPServerException

  # Retry unless the response status is 5xx. The implementation is dependent of the http lib in use.
  retriable_condition proc { |error| error.response.code < 500 }

  # Defines callable code to run before next retry. Could be an out put to some logger.
  on_retry proc { |error, tries| puts "#{self.name} - Retrying.. #{tries} of #{self.retriable_configuration[:retries]} (#{error})" }

  # The available strategies are: 
  # type :constant, start: 2 => [2, 2, 2, 2 ... ]
  # type :linear, start: 3, factor: 2 => [3, 6, 12, 24 ... ]
  # type :fibonacci, start: 2 => [2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ... ]
  # type :exponential, start: 3 => [3, 7, 12, 28, 47 ... ]
