Manually Retry Job in Delayed_job

Question

Delayed::Job's auto-retry feature is great, but there's a job that I want to manually retry now. Is there a method I can call on the job itself like...

Delayed::Job.all[0].perform

or run, or something. I tried a few things, and combed the documentation, but couldn't figure out how to execute a manual retry of a job.

Answer 1

You can do it exactly the way you said, by finding the job and running perform.

However, what I generally do is just set the run_at back so the job processor picks it up again.

Answer 2

To manually call a job

Delayed::Job.all[0].invoke_job
