clarification on unique_args

[barmstrong]

Does the args filter need to return an array?
Or can it return any unique string (or object that responds to .hash, etc)?

For example would this work?

class SomeJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options queue: :critical, unique: true, unique_args: :args_filter

  def self.args_filter(*args)
    args.first
  end

  def perform(object_id, attempts=1)
    ...
  end
end

Second question: does args_filter need to include the name of the job ("SomeJob" in this case)? Or is this added for you?

The docs don't make it super clear because they shown an example like this (but don't show the corresponding perform method signature, so it's unclear what these variables are actually referring to.

  def self.unique_args(name, id, options)
    [ name, options[:type] ]
  end

Thanks!

Side point: is SidekiqUniqueJobs::Config.unique_args_enabled = true needed? Could you check for the existence of the unique_args parameter on the job, and if so consider it enabled?

Thanks!
