How do I get the number of jobs in a rq queue?

Question

I've using rq and RedisToGo. How do I get the number of jobs in the queue? I can't find it in the documentation? (In Python)

When I try:

print "Before: ", len(q.jobs)
result = q.enqueue(worker.A)
result = q.enqueue(worker.B)
print "After: ", len(q.jobs)

It just gives 0 both times.

For RQ, you should be able to just get the len of the jobs in a queue:

from rq import Queue

queue = Queue()
len(queue)

Looks like there is a `q.count` property as well. https://github.com/nvie/rq/blob/master/rq/queue.py#L85-L88 – Byron Ruth Jan 22 '13 at 02:45

`q.count` is much faster than `len(queue.jobs)` – Chris Zuidema Feb 09 '22 at 14:21

The source code of `len(q)` is literally `def __len__(self): return self.count`, so no `len(q.jobs)` is required. – YoomarXD Feb 18 '22 at 06:09
