Retries config #679

I am setting the retry config to 3 attempts but it seems that the failed job is being retried 4 times, this is causing that when I do this:

queue.on('failed', (job, err) => {
       console.log(job.options.retries);
   });

the following is printed:

2
1,
0,
0

this is how i am setting the retries option:

const addToQueue = async (queueName, data, retries = 3) => {
  const queue = getQueue(queueName);
  return queue
    .createJob({ name: queueName, ...data })
    .retries(retries)
    .save();
};

Any help with this please?

Retries is how many times it tries again after the first attempt. The default is 0 which means it doesn't retry and only make the first attempt.

If the first attempt fails, and all three retries fail, that would emit 4 failures total.

As per the docs, it seems like retries is decremented before retrying and failed are called. Not sure if this is the best behavior because, as you can see, there doesn't seem to be a way to differentiate between the penultimate and last attempt, but that's how it currently works.
