[tools] Investigate why sporadically job is set to scalar value of the reference instead of the reference itself.

Description

It seems that under certain conditions (possibly websocket connection turned down) the worker sets the job to an invalid value.

Logs of that happening can be seen in #28355, currently we avoid that by not starting on invalid jobs (but this should not happen in first place - as the job will go from assigned back to scheduled - and can cause problems, e.g. wrt MM clusters).

ACs:

  • Investigate, verify that it still happen and fix it properly as #28355 is a workaround

Setting as low and in the ready queue as we have workaround for it - but this is a bit scary, as can become a real problem (mostly for MM tests, as jumping back from assigned->scheduled makes things more complex ) and the workaround hides it from the logs.

So this seems to be happening:

Apr 05 10:21:48 QA-Power8-4-kvm worker[41841]: [info] quit due to signal TERM
Apr 05 10:21:48 QA-Power8-4-kvm worker[41841]: Mojo::Reactor::Poll: Timer failed: Can't use string ("HASH(0xaf90080)") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/openqa/script/../lib/OpenQA/Worker/Jobs.pm line 151.

@mudler's theory is that the string itself is comming from the webUI somehow.

Just saw this again:

Aug 01 12:03:04 openqaworker12 worker[26285]: Mojo::Reactor::Poll: I/O watcher failed: Can't use string ("HASH(0x9584728)") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/openqa/script/../lib/OpenQA/Worker/Jobs.pm line 522.

While i was testing new scheduler changes, but eventually jobs went back to scheduled.

Note that line 522 is now 529:

sub start_job {
    my ($host) = @_;

    return _reset_state unless verify_job;
    # block the job from having dangerous settings (isotovideo specific though)
    # it needs to come from worker_settings
->  delete $job->{settings}->{GENERAL_HW_CMD_DIR};
    # add_log_channel('worker', path => 'worker-log.txt', level => $worker_settings->{LOG_LEVEL} // 'info');

    # update settings with worker-specific stuff
    copy_job_settings($job, $worker_settings);

Not sure whether we still see this in production. If we observe it again we can reopen the ticket. The PR has been merged so we should have a little bit better debug output.
