Some directly chained jobs are skipped by openQA
Description
Our test is ten chained jobs. One parent, the rest are children. Sometimes, the last several child jobs were cancelled/skipped by openQA. It seems a websocket problem. Below is the log of http://void.qam.suse.cz/tests/37703:

That's not a machine maintained by SUSE QE Tools, right? And also I think if at all this is about openQA itself, not the infrastructure

Please take at least the time to properly format the ticket and more importantly state the context of the problem (e.g. URL of the job the log belongs to). I've now adjusted the ticket description but it still lacks important details, e.g. how the jobs have been created in the first place¹ and what else you did after encountering the problem.
¹I did a little bit of reverse engineering what you've did here (but please just state that yourself in the ticket description next time). It looks like the skipped jobs have been created by posting an ISO/product which makes sense as they're actually using directly chained dependencies (which makes an important difference). Then some jobs have been skipped due to a connection loss as you correctly identified. I assume the connection was really lost so this isn't a problem of the openQA worker pre-se. Then some of the jobs have been restarted likely by a user. It is normal that partially restarting causes a dependency cluster that shows old and new jobs at the same time in case you're wondering about that.
I can look into implementing a retry in case of a connection loss when picking the next job from the queue to make that a bit more robust. However, I suppose that's also all we can improve here. (Regardless of whether dependencies handling comes into play or not - the worker will have to abort at some point after a connection loss.)
By the way, the version of your openQA deployment is quite old (48945f1ba from last year). At least this means for sure that none of my recent changes have anything to do with that problem :-)

Hello,
This's the overview of the all jobs. http://openqa.qam.suse.cz/tests/overview?groupid=156&version=15-SP3&build=%3A22881%3Alibvirt&distri=sle
Dependencies: http://openqa.qam.suse.cz/tests/37694#dependencies
I am not sure if I had restarted one or two jobs of them.
One thing should be noted that each job need 1-2 hours to complete. The parent job need 3-4 hours to complete. The skipped jobs had already waited for quite long time (more then six hours) before they were skipped. Is there a timetout check: A job will be cancelled if it waiting time is too long?

A job will be stopped after MAX_JOB_TIME/MAX_SETUP_TIME, see https://open.qa/docs/#_changing_timeouts. These timeouts apply to each job individually - so the execution/setup time of directly chained parents is not taken into account. If that's not working as intended, that's a bug. Having a look at the code I have no reason to believe it is broken, though. Note that the jobs mentioned in the ticket description have been skipped due to connection problems with the web socket server (as you've already identified) and are not a consequence of broken timeout handling.
The skipped jobs had already waited for quite long time (more then six hours) before they were skipped.
I'm wondering whether it is possible to split things up. I'm also wondering whether it is necessary to test to this extend with a setup requiring directly chained dependencies.
But I agree that we should try a bit harder when accepting directly chained jobs so the already mentioned PR will add a retry. Maybe it makes also sense to make it configurable. (Currently I'm waiting for reviewer feedback on that PR.)

All of these jobs need to run on the same SUT one after another in serial so they have to wait in queue and chained. They are quite some duplicate test modules (login, list_guest) in each job. Some jobs could be combined into one job to avoid duplication. We'll address them :)

Yes, great!

The PR has been merged. It now tries it ten times. Since the web socket server connection is re-tried every 10 seconds this makes a delay of 100 seconds. Not sure whether that's enough. You can set the environment variable OPENQA_WORKER_ACCEPT_ATTEMPTS to set a different number of attempts. (The environment variable needs to be set for the worker service. If required I can also make it configurable via workers.ini but that's not implemented yet.)
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
I'm resolving the issue for now. Let me know if it isn't good enough, e.g. you need to configure it via the config file.

Hello,
I am still verifying this fix.
I found the /var/log/messages flooded by websocket log. Could the websockets log be suppressed?

If you see this as necessary you are welcome to report another ticket about it but we will not be able to look into this anytime soon if at all.
