Disable automatic retry with ActiveJob, used with Sidekiq

September 9, 2023 by Tarik

As of sidekiq 6.0.1, it is possible to pass the following to an ActiveJob worker to prevent it from retrying:

class ExampleJob < ActiveJob::Base
  sidekiq_options retry: false

  def perform(*args)
    # Perform Job
  end
end

EDIT:

According to this this requires Rails 6.0.1 or later as well.
