Retry without failing

[Roman]

Hello,

Is it possible to schedule a retry without a failure? For example, by raising some special RetryException which gets caught by the Sidekiq?
I'd like to poll an API until the necessary data is ready, and thought I could make use of the Sidekiq's retry mechanism. Otherwise, I guess, I'd have to calculate the backoff and re-schedule the job myself?

Thanks,
Roman

Nope, retries must be triggered by exception.  You have two options:

1. Rescue the exception in your job and reschedule another job to run in a while using perform_in using your own backoff logic.

2. Raise a custom exception to trigger Sidekiq’s retry and configure your error service to ignore that type of error.
