Resque::Plugins::Insist
Give your Resque jobs a second chance
http://github.com/jrom/resque-insist by Jordi Romero
If you want to give your jobs a second chance (or more) extend them with this plugin and let the job fail some times before considering it failed.
By default a job will be run 3 times before marking it as failed, but you can configure that with @insist = N in your job.
Usage
require 'resque/plugins/insist'
class HardJob
extend Resque::Plugins::Insist
@queue = :hard_job
@insist = 5
def self.perform(something)
do_work
end
end
When your job fails for the first time, it will be queued again, but will be locked for 8 seconds before the worker performs it again. If it fails again, the wait time will be 16 seconds, then 32, 64, ... until your job reaches the maximum number of attempts or just succeeds (not raising an exception).
