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

You can catch up the exception and to do nothing instead retry or to configure retry:

  class ExampleJob < ActiveJob::Base
    rescue_from(StandardError) do |exception|
      Rails.logger.error "[#{self.class.name}] Hey, something was wrong with you job #{exception.to_s}"       
    end

    def perform
      raise StandardError, "error_message"
    end
  end

  class ExampleJob < ActiveJob::Base
    rescue_from(StandardError) do |exception|
      retry_job wait: 5.minutes, queue: :low_priority     
    end

    def perform
      raise StandardError, "error_message"
    end
  end

For running retrying you can use retry_on method retry_on method doc
