Feature suggestion :
Currently ActiveJob allows to retry jobs with `retry_job queue` allowing to
set the `:queue`, `wait` or `wait_until`
It would be nice to allow changing/adding parameters during the retry.
Example :
I want to retry a job up to 5 times, each time with a bigger interval
between the retries.
I would pass an optional/keyword parameter `retry_count` to the job
signature, and depending on the value I would schedule the retry further in
time
```ruby
class MyJob < ApplicationJob
rescue_from(JobError) do
reschedule_time.try do |wait_time|
retry_job(
retry_count: (@retry_count + 1), # Change retry_count
wait: wait_time
)
end
end
def perform(*args, retry_count: 0)
@retry_count = retry_count
raise JobError
end
def reschedule_time
# This can eventually be configured in a Settings class / per user
config
case retry_count
when 0..2
1.day
when 3..4
5.days
when 5
2.weeks
else
nil
end
end
end
```
Right now what I am doing is just calling the Job name again
```ruby
rescue_from(JobError) do
reschedule_time.try do |wait_time|
MyJob
.set(wait_until: wait_duration.from_now)
.perform_later(
retry_count: (@retry_count + 1)
)
end
end
```
A typical use for this would be automation flows where we want to keep
sending emails until an action is performed : reminders, etc.
