Rails5, how to retry perform an ActiveJob a specific number of times (max attempts)

Question

Right now I have my Background processes running with DelayedJobs, I see very convenient the max_attempts functionality on DelayedJob, how can I replicate this in ActiveJob?

Is this dependent on the queue system? has ActiveJob any abstraction configuration for this?

Answer 1

The gem ActiveJob::Retry did the trick:

class MyJob < ActiveJob::Base
  include ActiveJob::Retry.new(
    :strategy => :variable,
    :delays => [10.seconds, 1.minute, 10.minutes, 15.minutes]
  )
end
