stop sidekiq worker perform method

Question

I have an begin rescue block in my worker's perform method like this

begin
  HTTParty.get(url)
rescue
  ## call failed for some reason, log and stop performing
  break
end
## do more stuff here with the result of the call if it didn't fail
## this can fail too so a further
  begin
    ##would be cumbersome
  rescue
  end

however I get an Invalid break (SyntaxError)

Is there another way to tell sidekiq that this job is essentially finished? I don't want it to retry but rather just quit completely.

Answer 1

Just return:

begin
  HTTParty.get(url)
rescue => e
  logger.warn(e.message)
  return
end
