Any way to update job data on fail?

[devalnor]

I would like to know if there is a way to keep the job data updated (like a state).
I miss understood job.done(error, data) and I was thinking that data will update the job's data for a future cycle.
It's help me to keep a job state on the next retry.

Job data is immutable. However, a completion job is created with the data you pass as the arg to done(), or whatever you return from an async handler. You can use onComplete() or fetchComplete() to retrieve it.

I suggest clarifying this information in the documentation.
If job data is immutable, I have to roll back all my project...
Do you know another library that can keep a state object into a job?

I have a branch open that I intend to merge in the next week or 2 that adds an output prop onto the original job record. Once this is added, you will have access to this on your job if you add includeMetadata to your subscribe() or fetch() options. Until then, you can add onComplete: true to your publish options and then get access to the output data with an onComplete() subscription or fetchCompleted() call. Once you have the data, you can attach additional state (such as a retry count) and republish. It's an extra subscription to set up, but it would resolve your goal in my opinion using the current version.
