test running and queued rejection says its queued

[Brian Murray]

I was testing the new feature of autopkgtest-web which checks if a test is already queued or running and received a message that the test is 'already queued', when the test was in fact queued and running (I checked both json files my looking at one of the web servers at the time).

Looking at the code I would have expected to receive the "already running" message. Maybe the running.json was out of date on one server?

While this can be somewhat confusing to the end user I don't think it is a high priority to fix as the duplicate request is still not getting queued.

For what its worth the test was adduser on mantic arm64 with a trigger of kmod/30+20230519-1ubuntu2.

So, the logic surrounding this means that over time as the new changes start to have coverage of the whole queue and running tests (i.e. when all the currently running tests have stopped and fresh ones have started) this situation SHOULD be impossible. You should never be able to have the same test in the queue and whilst running.

But yes, this could also be due to one of the json files being not up to date. Let's monitor this and see if there's any changes
