Hi, I realized only today that delayed_job for API never starts up after I updated my local OBS instance to 2.3.7 (more than a month back) There are 2 issues here: 1) Starting delayed_job.api run in foreground fails with the following error: ---- $ sudo RAILS_ENV=production /sbin/startproc -w -u wwwrun -g www -- /srv/www/obs/api/script/delayed_job.api run mirror's password: ** Erubis 2.6.6 Job failed to load: uninitialized constant StatusMonitorJob. Try to manually require the required file. startproc: exit status of parent of /srv/www/obs/api/script/delayed_job.api: 1 ---- 2) "/etc/init.d/obsapidelayed status" incorrectly reports delayed_job.api to be "running". Before I continue, I would like to specify that these two problems do not exist in a fresh install of OBS 2.3.x and are observed only in case of an update. After grep'ing around, I figured out that delayed_job was looking at the database for pending jobs. StatusMonitorJob was removed back in February of 2012: [api] don't rely on delayed_job for updating status But during update of OBS, the existing jobs in delayed_jobs table for StatusMonitorJob aren't removed. To fix this, I had to fire up the console and delete all those jobs: ---- $ sudo /srv/www/obs/api/script/console production Loading production environment (Rails 2.3.14) ** Erubis 2.6.6

...

Delayed::Job.find_each do |job| ?> job.delete if job.handler =~ /StatusMonitorJob/ end => Delayed::Job(id: integer, priority: integer, attempts: integer, handler: text, last_error: text, run_at: datetime, locked_at: datetime, failed_at: datetime, locked_by: string)

After this, "/srv/www/obs/api/script/delayed_job.api run" starts up just fine! Coming to 2) issue I mentioned above: The problem here is obsapidelayed init script itself: ---- $ grep -A5 'status)' /etc/init.d/obsapidelayed status) echo -n "Checking for service delayed OBS api jobs " checkproc delayed_job.0 [ $? == $NUM ] rc_status -v ;; ---- "rc_status" processes $? - exit code of previous command. Here [ $? == $NUM ] will always be true if checkproc can't find either the delayed_job.0 process or it's PID file - because in this case checkproc will return 3 and NUM is set to 3 :) I zapped that condition out of that script and now "/etc/init.d/obsapidelayed status" responds with "unused" if there's no delayed_job.api processes. Hope this helps anyone else who runs / manages a private instance of OBS updated from any previous version to 2.3.x Srinidhi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
