How can I delete specific jobs from Resque queue without clearing the whole queue?
I'm using Resque workers to process job in a queue, I have a large number of jobs > 1M in a queue and have some of the jobs that I need to remove ( added by error). Crating the queue with the jobs was not an easy tasks, so clearing the queue using resque-web and adding the correct jobs again is not an option for me.
Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Answer
To remove a specific job from queue you can use the destroy method. It's very easy to use, For example if you want to remove a job with class Post and id x, which is in queue named queue1 You can do like this..
Resque::Job.destroy(queue1, Post, 'x')
If you want to remove all the jobs of particular type from a queue you can use
Resque::Job.destroy(QueueName, ClassName)
You can find it's documentation at
