Precisely half of the jobs get processed.

[bwang29]

I'm using the latest kue in node.js. Right now precisely half of the jobs are picked up by polarr_jobs.process() although all request can be seen as active/completed in the Kue UI.

For example, the first time a job is submitted to kue, it shows up and stuck in Active
the second job is submitted to kue, it shows up in Active, then completed
the third job is submitted to kue, it shows up and stuck in Active
the forth job is submitted to kue, it shows up in Active, then completed
so on and so forth..

What might be the issue?

There should be some error in your process callback which occasionally prevents done to be called, so job get's stuck in active. those stuck active jobs keep your concurrency bandwidth and process will not accept new jobs a bit later...

IS there a solution to this? This is constantly happening to me where something is going wrong in the jobs and then they just sit their in an active state and no new jobs can be picked up. This seems like a massive issue.

this will seem a massive issue unless you are properly handling errors in your code @micahlmartin
You can use

• domains
• promises error handling
• process uncaught error handlers

please read #391 and #403 or even #130 (comment)

This issue can be closed now. It happened that we had another "left-over" server listening to the Kue and that server is running old, bad code. The kue accepts the jobs correctly. Apologize for not figuring out by ourselves.
