SidekiqRejector

The simple way for rejecting jobs when code introduced with unwanted behavior(bug) and there is a must to stop handling this type of jobs until a fix is issued.

Only sidekiq 3 is supported.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq_rejector'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidekiq_rejector

All that you need in case you want to exclude jobs is to configure two environment variables

SIDEKIQ_REJECTOR_ENABLED = true

From version 2.0 the SIDEKIQ_REJECTOR_VALUES would be a json object with three string arrays:

{
  queue:  [...], # name of queues
  worker: [...], # worker classes
  method: [...]  # method names
}.to_json

Version 0.1.x users should use the old format: SIDEKIQ_REJECTOR_VALUES = 'comma separated string' with values of the method to stop (when called using delay) OR the worker name.

There is also a utility class that will remove jobs directly from Redis. This is for a situation were a huge amount of jobs already queued and they may clog the background workers.

Inputs: queue_name - The target queue that you want to clear
string_identifier - The method name OR worker name, using this identifier the jobs are found.

SidekiqRejector::JobRemover.remove(queue_name, string_identifier)
