How can I set retry count to 0 by default for all Hangfire jobs?


I am using C# ASP.NET Core 3.1 with Hangfire to schedule background jobs. By default if an exception occurs during the execution of the background job, there are 10 retry attempts. I am aware it is possible to use the AutomaticRetry attribute to set that to 0, but I don't want to do that on every single background job. Instead I want the default to be 0 and to only specify it manually with the attribute in the very very rare case that I want it to be non-0. Thanks.


Solution

  • I used to do it like this in .Net Classic, I guess it should not be so different in .Net Core

    // disable automatic retry if a job fails
    Hangfire.GlobalJobFilters.Filters.Add(new AutomaticRetryAttribute() { Attempts = 0 });
