Removing job
Removing job
Sometimes it is necessary to remove a job. For example, there could be a job that has bad data.
1
import { Queue } from 'bullmq';
2
​
3
const queue = new Queue('paint');
4
​
5
const job = await queue.add('wall', { color: 1 });
6
​
7
await job.remove();

Locked jobs (in active state) can not be removed. An error will be thrown.
Having a parent job
There are 2 possible cases:
- 1.There are not pending dependencies; in this case the parent is moved to wait status, we may try to process this job.
- 2.There are pending dependencies; in this case the parent is kept in waiting-children status.
Having pending dependencies
We may try to remove all its pending descendents first.
In case one of the children is locked, it will stop the deletion process.
