Resque::Multifail

Allow Resque jobs to fail a few times before storing the failure.

Background

At SparkSeat, we have a few scheduled resque jobs that fail occasionally. If they have failed once but succeed on the next run, we don't care. This gem allows us to specify that.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'resque-multifail', require: 'resque/multifail'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

# Resque Config
Resque::Failure.backend = Resque::Failure::Multifail

# example_job.rb
class ExampleJob
  extend Resque::Plugins::Multifail

  @queue = :test
  @allow_failures = 3

  # N.B, jobs with different arguments are handled separately by the gem.
  def self.perform(arg1, arg2)
  end
end
