[Feature request] search a specific job

[felixmosh]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It will be great if queue can search a job with specific name, id, data etc...

Describe the solution you'd like

   const jobs = await queue.search({jobData: 'contains some data'});

Describe alternatives you've considered Searching jobs on the redis it self

So I have (working) code in a personal project that does something similar. We can do something like:

export interface FindJobsByFilterOptions {
  filter?: string;
  cursor?: string;
  status?: JobSearchStatus;
  pattern?: string;
  count?: number;
}

export interface FilteredJobsResult {
  cursor: string;
  total: number;
  current: number;
  jobs: Job[];
}

const filter = 'job.data.action == "create" && job.data.widget = "sprocket" && job.processTime < 100';

let { jobs, total, current, cursor } = await findJobsByFilter(queue, 
    { 
        filter, count: 10, cursor: null, pattern: 'job-*', status: "completed" 
    } 
)
if (jobs.length) {
    do {
        console.log(jobs);
        {jobs, cursor} = await findJobsByFilter(queue, { cursor } ); 
    } while(cursor)
}        

Currently it uses jsep to parse js compatible expressions, determines which fields need to be fetched from redis and tries to as efficiently as possible retrieve the minimum data necessary to satisfy the predicate.

Notice that it uses a cursor based approach to reduce the load on redis and provide a paging interface. Im not wedded to the expression syntax, and previous iterations used a mongo styled query document.

If Manuel thinks this fits within the philosophy of bullmq, I can clean it up and create a PR. Otherwise feel free to grab the code and plug away.

Are there any plans to develop this feature?

[felixmosh]

Once the underline lib (BullX) will add support for it.

For a meanwhile, you can up vote https://github.com/taskforcesh/bullmq/issues/2135

Isn't this the underline lib?

[felixmosh]

By "underline lib" I mean bull / bullmq which is used by the board to access all the data.

I get it, but this issue is open on the bullmq repo so I thought that was given :D

Any news on this?

This feature is really important. It would be amazing if it were prioritized 🙂
