Redis error after completed job

[ulisesbocchio]

This app:

console.log('worker');
const Kue = require('kue-scheduler');

var queue = Kue.createQueue({
  prefix: 'kue2_',
  redis: {
    port: 6379,
    host: 'localhost',
    options: {
    }
  }
});

queue.clear((error, response) => {

    var job = queue
                .createJob('unique', { timezone: 'America/Los_Angeles' })
                .attempts(3)
                .priority('normal')
                .unique('unique_every');

    queue.every('*/5 * * * * *', job);

    queue.on( 'error', function( err ) {
      console.log( 'Oops... ', err );
    });

    var name = "blah";

    queue.process('unique', function(job, ctx, done) {
        console.log('running...', name);
        setTimeout(() => {
            console.log('completing...', name);
            done();
        }, 1000);
    });

});

starts just fine and runs the first job but then when it's time to run a second one... it fails with some error that keeps going for ever... this is an excerpt of the output:

worker
running... blah
completing... blah

any clues?

[ulisesbocchio]

BTW, the actual code that creates the job and schedules it is inside queue.clear((error, response) => {...}) because without that the same error shows immediately as soon as I start the script.

[ulisesbocchio]

very weird, I think unique cannot be used as the job name, I changed it to something else and it worked as expected. It should probably be documented.

Sure.

@ulisesbocchio I will appreciate the update on the docs.
