Hi there,

we're using resque-retry now for about two weeks and it seems working fine in production. But while developing we've encountered arbitrary behaviour: The workers won't work. We start a scheduler task, than a worker. In our jobs are @retry_limit and @retry_schedule set but if we look in the resque-web backend the worker seems to have nothing to do. We're using rails 3.0.4 with resque 1.17.1, retry 0.2.1, scheduler 1.9.9. Is there any known issue while using this version combination?

And an other question: Is it possible to start workers without having the scheduler running? I mean, will the jobs get processed and get packed into the failure queue after one attempt or will the worker do nothing?

I'm looking forward to hear any ideas.

Thanks, Axel
