Ability to move messages from failed queue back to queue

[ghost]

Is there a way to move messages from failed queue back to queue for processing once for example the sysadmins have fixed the email server etc.. We rely on this on ActiveMQ and MSMQ (although with MSMQ we have to use a third party tool to handle this)

currently you can do it via the UI or JSON API, or of course javascript programmatically. One thing I would personally like is some batch operations in the UI so you can reactivate a swath of jobs that you want to retry etc

[ghost]

Maybe I missing something obvious but how do I do this from the UI?

[tj]

yeah it's not too obvious but you can click the state to get a select list

@drudge / @visionmedia does this issue need to be open still ?

[drudge]

We can leave it open, I think adding batching to the UI is a good idea. Select multiple jobs, re-queue.

+1 A simple re-queue button would suffice for my needs

can be added in the next release

I did the trick via UI to move a job from failed to inactive and then the job is picked up to run again. Is there any way to do this using the REST ? I mean post /job/id --data state:active

You know what I mean ? cheers.

[behrad]

if you check the code behind that UI action you will find out the actual REST request to change job state, however I'm not convinced to expose that in public API documentation for now :)

[thomasmodeneis]

Oh right, that's a good one. I will check, cheers for the tip.

[hooperp]

did you get to a solution ?

[thomasmodeneis]

I did not got any solution for this, in fact I ended having to abandon kue because of the absence of this feature.

[behrad]

kue.Job.rangeByState( 'failed', 0, n, 'asc', function( err, jobs ) {
  jobs.map( function( job ){  job.inactive();  });
});

OR

queue.failed( function( err, ids ) {
  ids.map( function( id ){
    kue.Job.get( id, function( err, job ){
      job.inactive();
    });
  });
});

Just curious, is there still an actual issue here?

[behrad]

I just keep it opened to remember to add a UI trigger for requeue-ing jobs.
