How do I clear stuck/stale Resque workers?
None of these solutions worked for me, I would still see this in redis-web:
0 out of 10 Workers WorkingFinally, this worked for me to clear all the workers:
Resque.workers.each {|w| w.unregister_worker}
In your console:
queue_name = "process_numbers"Resque.redis.del "queue:#{queue_name}"Otherwise you can try to fake them as being done to remove them, with:
Resque::Worker.working.each {|w| w.done_working}EDIT
A lot of people have been upvoting this answer and I feel that it's important that people try hagope's solution which unregisters workers off a queue, whereas the above code deletes queues. If you're happy to fake them, then cool.
You probably have the resque gem installed, so you can open the console and get current workers
Resque.workersIt returns a list of workers
#=> [#<Worker infusion.local:40194-0:JAVA_DYNAMIC_QUEUES,index_migrator,converter,extractor>]pick the worker and prune_dead_workers, for example the first one
Resque.workers.first.prune_dead_workers
