Enum JobError 

pub enum JobError {
    Retryable(Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>),
    Terminal(String),
}

Error type for job handlers — any error is retryable unless it’s terminal.

JobError::Retryable triggers retry with database-computed exponential backoff. For explicit caller-controlled retry delay, return Ok(JobResult::RetryAfter) instead.

Variants

Retryable(Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>)

Retryable error — will be retried if attempts remain.

Terminal(String)

Terminal error — immediately fails the job regardless of remaining attempts.

Implementations

impl JobError

pub fn retryable(err: impl Error + Send + Sync + 'static) -> Self

Create a retryable error from any std::error::Error.

pub fn retryable_msg(msg: impl Display) -> Self

Create a retryable error from a display message.

Use this with anyhow::Error or other types that implement Display but not std::error::Error:

Err(JobError::retryable_msg(format!("{err:#}")))
// or with anyhow:
Err(JobError::retryable_msg(err))

pub fn terminal(msg: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Create a terminal error — immediately fails the job.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for JobError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for JobError

fn fmt(&self, __formatter: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for JobError

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0:

use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0:

replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)
