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

If you want to disable retry (or add any other Sidekiq options) for ActiveJob from gems (like for ActionMailbox::RoutingJob), you can use this approach (Rails 6.0.2+).

1) Create a module with the desired Sidekiq options (using ActiveSupport::Concern)

# lib/fixes/action_mailbox_routing_job_sidekiq_fix.rb

module ActionMailboxRoutingJobSidekiqFix
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  included do
    sidekiq_options retry: false
  end
end

2) Include it in the job class in an initializer.

# config/initializers/extensions.rb

require Rails.root.join('lib', 'fixes', 'action_mailbox_routing_job_sidekiq_fix')

Rails.configuration.to_prepare do
  ActionMailbox::RoutingJob.include ::ActionMailboxRoutingJobSidekiqFix
end
