Possible to manually retry a job that has expired?

[swrobel]

Situation:
error_count has exceeded max_retry_count and expired_at has a value. This job is effectively "dead" and yet I want to manually retry it. How do I do so?

Probably not an ideal solution, but definitely better than the current que-web behavior of not retrying at all, is to reset the error_count to one less than max_retry_count and unset expired_at. That's what I do to manually retry dead jobs when I need to. I would be surprised if anyone is relying so heavily on the accuracy of those values that updating them to allow a retry trips anything up.

Maybe someone has a better idea?

For a job that's failed several times, I tend to just set the run_at to now() from psql. afaik, I haven't had to retry an expired one, but for that, I'd also set error_count to 0 and expired_at to NULL.

Unless there are ideas for improvement, I'm going to close this, in an effort to clean up the issues list.
