Resque retry retries without delay

Question

This is the code that I have

class ExampleTask
    extend Resque::Plugins::ExponentialBackoff
    @backoff_strategy = [0, 20, 3600]
    @queue = :example_tasks
    def self.perform
      raise
    end
  end

I am running into a problem where, whenever I enqueue this task locally, Resque seems to retry the task immediately without respecting the backoff strategy. Has anyone ever experienced this problem before?

upgrading to 1.0.0 actually solves this problem.

For any future readers, the first integer in the array @backoff_strategy is how long Resque-Retry will wait before retrying the first time. From the github readme:

key: m = minutes, h = hours

              no delay, 1m, 10m,   1h,    3h,    6h
@backoff_strategy = [0, 60, 600, 3600, 10800, 21600]
@retry_delay_multiplicand_min = 1.0
@retry_delay_multiplicand_max = 1.0

The first delay will be 0 seconds, the 2nd will be 60 seconds, etc... Again, tweak to your own needs.
