How do I inspect what was the last failed job in Resque?

Question

I know it returns a hash, but its strange how the syntax goes.. I'm trying to find out what the last one is.

If I do this :

Resque.info[:failed] # -> 68

So assuming there's 68 failed jobs, when I do this :

Resque::Failure.all()

It only returns one job ( I believe its the first job ).

I think this is just a syntactical error on my part. Because I've also seen this :

Resque::Failure.all(0, 20)

Which I believe would pull an array of indices between 0 and 20.

So.. anyone know the syntactical clause to pull just the last failed job?

Answer 1

as said here with all you will give 1st param as the start point and second param as the number of results.

Resque::Failure.all(0, 1)

is the correct syntax to get the last failure, if they are ordered DESC

EDIT:

They are ordered ASC, so:

Resque::Failure.all((Resque::Failure.count - 1), 1)

Answer 2

There is also another way to see resque job information. Resque comes with a Sinatra-based front end for seeing what's up with your queue.

Here you will get detail information. Hope this will help someone.
