Unable to fetch Job Object in Perform function

[SteveBasik]

I recently integrated Faktory into my GO application. I initialized a worker manager with the job type and the Perform function as mentioned below

mgr.Register("TicketGeneration", ReceiveJobs)

In the "ReceiveJobs" function I only get access to the "args". However, I am not able to fetch the "Job". From the context I'm only able to fetch the "Helper" object.

func ReceiveJobs(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{}) {
      help := worker.HelperFor(ctx)
}

 Jid() string
 JobType() string
 Bid() string
 Batch(func(*client.Batch) error) error
 With(func(*client.Client) error) error
 TrackProgress(percent int, desc string, reserveUntil *time.Time) error

Is there a way that I can use the "Jid" from the helper object to fetch the job object ?

Nope. The job is an internal structure and not available to the worker. What are you trying to do?

My objective is to send a discord message when my job has 0 retries remaining. In order to do that I thought I would be able to check the retry remaining variable in the job object when it reaches the Perform function. Is there any other way that I can track the number of retries remaining when i receive the args in the perform function so that i can send out an alert to my discord channel to know that the job has exhausted it's retries and has failed ?

I just need a way to monitor the retry attempts as the job is queued and requeued through code so that i can handle sending of alerts when all retries have been exhausted. Any way to keep track of the retry count would be helpful.
