Periodic job stopped running after calling onDone with error about swiftqueue HOT 4 CLOSED

You have to specify in the builder the number of times you allow this jobs to retry.
.retry(max: Int)

If you want your job to run "forever" you can specify Int.max as retry count.
In the next version I'll probably update the retry function to allow a full unlimited retry.

from swiftqueue.

It's not about the numbers of retries. I need to run a job every hour. When a job fails it could retry a couple of times.

The issue here is that the periodic job stops running after an error occurs + max retries. The max run isn't reached, it just stops running (never schedules another run).

JobBuilder(type: MyJob.type)
	.singleInstance(forId: "my_job")
	.periodic(count: Int.max, interval: 15) // 15 seconds is easier for testing
	.retry(max: 3)
	.schedule(manager: manager)

What I'm trying to achieve:

1. A job is scheduled with a 1-hour interval
2. When a job run fails it could retry (max: 3)
3. After an hour the next job runs (even when the previous job has failed)

from swiftqueue.

In the current implementation, the retry count is not per attempt to run the job. It's global for the job.
We can implement a "retry per attempt" for periodic jobs. So the retry count will be reset to 0 each time the scheduled job runs.

Thanks for the quick response. If it works as intended you can close this issue.
