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         


        

Answer 1

As of sidekiq 6.0.1, it is possible to pass the following to an ActiveJob worker to prevent it from retrying:

class ExampleJob < ActiveJob::Base
  sidekiq_options retry: false

  def perform(*args)
    # Perform Job
  end
end

EDIT:

According to this this requires Rails 6.0.1 or later as well.
