--job-retries

[Sammie S. Taunton]

Gearman 0.32
Start -> /usr/local/gearman/sbin/gearmand -u gearman -l /var/log/gearman -p 4730 --job-retries 1

Previous versions did not encounter this problem however, currently when using --job-retries 1 the client is crashing with the following error:

_client_do(GEARMAN_WORK_FAIL) occured during gearman_client_run_tasks() -> libgearman/client.cc:215

Checking the logs I find this:
 ERROR 2012-03-19 21:42:54.558540 [ proc ] Dropped job due to max retry count: H:dedicated1.sitegoodies.com:1 2f980301-5647-47f2-9090-3f993754f910 -> libgearman-server/job.c:559

However if I change the job retries to 2 then everything works just fine.

Anything specific about your client or worker?

I can see about writing a generic test to confirm expected behavior.

Hi!

I can't repeat this. I will push up a new test case for this. If you can see if you can figure out if your code is doing anything different.

Please ask questions, if the test cases don't quite do what your code does.

Thanks!

I found the problem and in fact it is not with Gearman, please close this and accept my apologies. Turns out another one of our developers added a switch to have the gearman process restarted directly after the job was done. Since it returns so quickly it was returning an error during the restart process. It's weird that this didn't happen with 0.28 but I am actually happy that it does so stupid doesn't continue to happen =)

No worries, we now have tests to verify the behavior, which is valuable :)
