Disable automatic retry with ActiveJob, used with Sidekiq

Question

Is there a way to disable automatic retry with ActiveJob and Sidekiq ?

I know that with Sidekiq only, we just have to put

sidekiq_options :retry => f

Ok thanks for the answer.

Just for information, I also asked the question in an issue related to this subject on ActiveJob Github repository : https://github.com/rails/activejob/issues/47

DHH answered me a solution I haven't tested but that can do the job.

Personnally, I finally put this in an initializer in order to disable Sidekiq retries globally and it works well :

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
   config.server_middleware do |chain|
      chain.add Sidekiq::Middleware::Server::RetryJobs, :max_retries => 0
   end
end
