Delayed job variables initialization written on at collectiveidea / delayed_job doesn't work.
# config/initializers/delayed_job_config.rb
Delayed::Worker.destroy_failed_jobs = false
Delayed::Worker.sleep_delay = 60
Delayed::Worker.max_attempts = 3
Delayed::Worker.max_run_time = 5.minutes
Here is the correct way of doing it as mentioned on tobi / delayed_job
# config/initializers/delayed_job_config.rb
Delayed::Job.destroy_failed_jobs = false
silence_warnings do
Delayed::Job.const_set("MAX_ATTEMPTS", 3)
Delayed::Job.const_set("MAX_RUN_TIME", 5.minutes)
end
