Stop and empty BackgroundGameRedeem Queue

[priestkos]

Hi, what is the process/command(s) to stop and empty a BGR queue that is in progress?

So if I really really need to stop it I have to delete and re create the bot? D:

[Rudokhvist]

Well, not the whole bot. Either delete .db file, or open it as text and remove appropriate section manually.
In first case bot will also may lose some internal settings, like 2fa asf, etc. Second way allows to avoid that, but you need to be very careful to not corrupt the structure of file, so you better know what you're doing. Both ways are not official, officially we expect that you think before adding games to BGR queue, not after.

I see. Well I think I'll go the way of just deleting the db file and modifying settings again. Purging the BGR queue is a feature that I'd love to see in the future though.

Oh no matter, the db file seems to be simple for the most part, just has
"GamesToRedeemInBackground":{"ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO", ....} appended to the end.
I assume that's what you were talking about? Just deleting that and restarting the container does work yes, thank you. I was expecting some SQL stuff or something that I'm not familiar with 😅

[Rudokhvist]

Yes, that's what I was talking about. But you can't imagine how many time users come here to help because they failed to follow simple json structure... So I had to warn you.
