ensure_queue function

Make sure that a queue exists

If it does not exist, then the queue will be created.

ensure_queue(name, db = default_db(), crash_strategy = "fail")

Arguments

• name: Name of the queue. If not specified or NULL, a name is generated randomly.
• db: Path to the database file.
• crash_strategy: What to do with crashed jobs. The default is that they will "fail" (just like a negative acknowledgement). Another possibility is "requeue", in which case they are requeued immediately, potentially even multiple times. Alternatively it can be a number, in which case they are requeued at most the specified number of times.

Returns

The queue object.
