Is there a way to delete a tube? or empty it?

[BeagleGuy]

Curious if there was a way to delete whats in a tube? For example
during testing stages there may be times I load up data in the wrong
format or I'm experimenting with different formats. Currently I'm
restarting beanstalk at the loss of the other tubes. Is there a way to
empty a single tube out?

thanks

If you delete all messages in the tube, the empty tube will be wiped out automatically.

I didn't see a command for that from the docs in the python client..
what command might that be?

BeagleGuy-

The command is just the normal 'delete' command which you issue after
you've successfully processed a job.

If you're using pybeanstalkd at:

http://github.com/sophacles/pybeanstalk/blob/master/beanstalk/job.py

Then its the "Finish" method on job.py (as an aside I would argue the
method should be called 'delete' since thats what the Beanstalkd
command is - it is kind of confusing to have that differentiation).

thanks Cody, will that delete an entire queue or just one job in the
queue? I'm looking to actually empty an entire tube of jobs to
basically start fresh

The "easiest" way to do this currently is to peek at every job in the
ready,
buried and delayed queues, and then delete them, in a loop.

It would definitely be handy to have a "flush-tube <tube name>"
command.

[Cody Caughlan]

That method is run on single Job. If you wanted to delete a tube that
has jobs in it then you will have to iterate over every Job and
Finish() it - after you Finish() the last Job from that tube then
Beanstalkd will automagically delete the actual tube.
