Manually Retry Job in Delayed_job

To manually call a job

Delayed::Job.find(10).invoke_job # 10 is the job.id

This does not remove the job if it is run successfully. You need to remove it manually:

Delayed::Job.find(10).destroy

Delayed::Worker.new.run(Delayed::Job.last)

This will remove the job after it is done.

You can do it exactly the way you said, by finding the job and running perform.

However, what I generally do is just set the run_at back so the job processor picks it up again.

I have a method in a controller for testing purposes that just resets all delayed jobs when I hit a URL. Not super elegant but works great for me:

# For testing purposes
  def reset_all_jobs
    Delayed::Job.all.each do |dj|
      dj.run_at = Time.now - 1.day
      dj.locked_at = nil
      dj.locked_by = nil
      dj.attempts = 0
      dj.last_error = nil
      dj.save
    end
    head :ok
  end
