Where do I put my resque-retry failure backend code?
resque, resque-retry, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3
Solution
Looks like an initializer is the best bet. Accepting this as the best answer unless someone comes along with a better suggestion.
Problem
The resque-retry gem's README discusses changing the failure backend implementation when implementing. `MultipleWithRetrySuppression` is a multiple failure backend, with retry suppression. Here's an example, using the Redis failure backend: ``` require 'resque-retry' require 'resque/failure/redis' # require your jobs & application code. Resque::Failure::MultipleWithRetrySuppression.classes = [Resque::Failure::Redis] Resque::Failure.backend = Resque::Failure::MultipleWithRetrySuppression ``` If a job fails, but can and will retry, the failure details wont be logged in the Redis failed queue (visible via resque-web). If the job fails, but can't or won't retry, the failure will be logged in the Redis failed queue, like a normal failure (without retry) would. I'm not sure where in my Rails app that code should go. Should I just place it into any random initializer file, e.g. `config/initializers/resque.rb`? Or is there some other place in my app where it should go? The documentation is not clear.
