I setup a kue job as I usually do :

var job = jobs.create('phase2', s);
    job.on('complete', function (){
        console.log('Job'+job.id+' is done');
    }).on('failed', function (){
        console.log('Job'+job.id+'has failed');
    });
    job.save();

On certain conditions, I want the job to fail and restart automatically. For that, I have in my processor the following lines :

if(t==1){
    //Keep going
}else{
    console.log('PROBLEM');
    job.failed();
}

I have tried changing the failed event to :

.on('failed', function (){
    console.log('Job'+job.id+'has failed');
    job.state('inactive').save();
 });

as suggested here : Node.js Kue how to restart failed jobs

I have also tried adding attempts() as in the Readme, like so :

var job = jobs.create('phase2', s).attempts(5);

None of these things have worked. The job is marked as 'failed' and my console shows 'PROBLEM', but I do not see the message defined in the 'failed' listener.

EDIT

After more reading, i've tried listening to the 'job failed' event at queue level, using :

  jobs.on('job failed', function(id,result){
    console.log('fail queue');
    kue.Job.get(id, function(err, job){
      job.state('inactive').save();
    });
  });

Same result, and no console log... It seem to be something else than Kue, any idea what could make the events not fire?

For delayed jobs you need to add jobs.promote() to add the setInterval() that puts the delayed jobs back to the queue. Is also on the README. So you would need something like:

jobs.on('job failed', function(id, result){
  console.log('fail queue');
  kue.Job.get(id, function(err, job){
    job.state('inactive').save();
  });
});

jobs.promote();

At least that worked for my problem.
