Redis jobs not being cleaned out properly about qu

[bkeepers]

Do you have any failed jobs? Qu.length('failed')

Qu should clear out the jobs that are completed: https://github.com/bkeepers/qu/blob/master/lib/qu/backend/redis.rb#L67-69

Ah there you go. Lots of failed jobs. Anyway of inspecting failed jobs without going into redis-cli?

[fbjork]

What determines if a job failed?

[fbjork]

When I did: Qu.clear(:failed), Qu.length(:failed) returns 0, but keys * in redis-cli still shows thousands of qu keys. Ideas? Looks like jobs aren't being removed from Redis properly?

Failed jobs are ones that raised an exception. There isn't currently a way to inspect the errors through qu. I've been using qu-exceptional to report them to http://getexceptional.com, so I haven't had the need for other ways of inspecting the errors.

Also, clearing the queue apparently doesn't delete the jobs from redis. That's an oversight on my part. I'll get that fixed.
