When a Worker indicates a task failed, mark it as `soft-failed` until
enough workers have tried & failed at the same task.
This is the first step in a blocklisting system, where tasks of an
often-failing worker will be requeued to be retried by others.
NOTE: currently the failure list of a task is NOT reset whenever it is
requeued! This will be implemented in a future commit, and is tracked in
`FEATURES.md`.
Tasks that are in state `active` but haven't been 'touched' by a Worker
for 10 minutes or longer will transition to state `failed`.
In the future, it might be better to move the decision about which state
is suitable to the Task State Machine service, so that it can be smarter
and take the history of the task into account. Going to `soft-failed`
first might be a nice touch.
This helps to get things consistent on Windows and Linux. Otherwise a path
like `/some/path` is absolute on one platform but not on the other. This is
mostly for getting the unit tests in this package to work on Windows, but
using absolute paths also helps in clarity of error logging.
Flamenco Manager now has a "storage path" config option, which will be
used by Shaman if enabled. Now the `{jobs}` implicit variable will always
exist, its value depending on whether Shaman is enabled or not.
When a variable is found in the config file, with the same name as an
implicit variable, it will be removed from the configuration (i.e. implicit
ones always win). A warning is logged when this happens.
This allows the Blender add-on to submit jobs at path
`{jobs}/path/file.blend`. Due to the nature of the system, the add-on
doesn't know (and shouldn't know) where exactly the Manager has its
Shaman storage.
Add some callback functionality, so that test code can inject/change
settings before they are processed.
Will be used in an actual test in the following commit.
Flamenco v2 allowed separate configuration of the Shaman file store and
checkout paths. This is now just one setting for "the storage". The file
store will be in `{storage}/file-store` and the checkout will happen in
`{storage}/jobs`.
This introduces some more conceptual changes to Shaman. The most important
one is that there is no longer a "checkout ID", but a "checkout path".
The Shaman client can request any subpath of the checkout directory,
so that it can handle things like project- or scene-specific prefixes.
A boolean provides less context to the setting, so it's not as easy to
understand. However, in this case the simple case will have `is_twoway=false` and be ommitted from the configuration file. This makes the simple case even simpler.
Comment out all unused-but-desired-in-the-future settings, remove some
settings that will never be used, and rename `ssdp_discovery` to
`autodiscoverable`.
The add-on code was copy-pasted from other addons and used the GPL v2
license, whereas by accident the LICENSE text file had the GNU "Affero" GPL
license v3 (instead of regular GPL v3).
This is now all streamlined, and all code is licensed as "GPL v3 or later".
Furthermore, the code comments just show a SPDX License Identifier
instead of an entire license block.
Instead of returning an error "error doing X", just return "doing X". The
fact that it's returned as an error object says enough about that it's
an error.
This also makes it easier to chain error messages, without seeing the
word "error" in every part of the chain.
