reschedule a sidekiq job from within perform

Question

Is there a way to check a condition inside perform in a Sidekiq worker, and to reschedule the job in a different time (and stop executing the job)?

def perform

 if is_it_summer_yet?
   Bear.wake_em_up
 else
   # reschedule to perform in a few hours
 end

end

this is a simple example, but in my use case there are a lot of calculations and network calls for that condition, so I can't do it externally

Answer 1

def perform
  if is_it_summer_yet?
    Bear.wake_em_up
  else
    self.class.perform_in(1.hour)
  end
end
