I found a solution by browsing the kue source code. The following code achieves what I need:
var redis = require ('redis'),
kue = require ('kue'),
redisClient = redis.createClient(6379, "127.0.0.1");
kue.redis.createClient = function () {
return redisClient;
};
kue.app.listen(3000);
kue.Job.rangeByType ('job', 'failed', 0, 10, 'asc', function (err, selectedJobs) {
selectedJobs.forEach(function (job) {
job.state('inactive').save();
});
});
For reference, here is the relevant kue source code:
/queue/job.js:123:
/**
* Get jobs of `type` and `state`, with the range `from`..`to`
* and invoke callback `fn(err, ids)`.
*
* @param {String} type
* @param {String} state
* @param {Number} from
* @param {Number} to
* @param {String} order
* @param {Function} fn
* @api public
*/
exports.rangeByType = function(type, state, from, to, order, fn){
redis.client().zrange('q:jobs:' + type + ':' + state, from, to, get(fn, order));
};
Kue source code indicating that:
type
is the job typefrom
,to
is the job ranges by index (for example, you can specify load jobs from index 0 to 10, 11 jobs in total.)order
specifies the order of fetched jobs. Default isasc
. You can also sort it bydesc
