Job Retry Behaviour

[mal-drop]

What is the correct way to retry jobs which fail? We have a configured job queue with retry options:

export const RETRY_CONFIG = {
    retryLimit: 10,
    retryDelay: 10,
    retryBackoff: true,
};

        await boss.send(CoreQueue.WEBFLOW_CHECKOUT, webflowJobData, RETRY_CONFIG);

However if this job throws an error, it just moves to a completed state as is not retried. What should we be doing to have this job run again?

    boss.work(CoreQueue.WEBFLOW_CHECKOUT, options, (job: any) => {
        webflowCheckout(job)
            .then(() => job.done())
            .catch(error => job.done(error));
    });

Try using an async job handler to simplify job completion handling. You shouldn't normally need to explicitly call job.done(), as this was an older api used before async/await were added.
