hi, if I wanted a task to loop or retry by raising a signal, how would I delay the next iteration of the retry? I’m basically create a task that polls something and I’d might want to check that every 10 minutes or so. Previously, I had a for loop/sleep in the task but I figured this signalling would be a better way?

Hi @Stephen Herron, time.sleep works or you can use the

max_retries

and

retry_delay

yes I think i’m missing something though if say the task decorator has

max_retries

and

retry_delay

specified.. and you raise the

RETRY

signal inside the task, should it not respect the settings in the decorator? might be confusing context/purpose

If it doesn’t you can

raise FAIL

too.

that works
