Description

Motivation

See the support case #75454 . In some cases jobs can incomplete with reason just being "api failure" with no more information. Also no logs can be uploaded so it is hard for the test reviewer to find out what happened. We could improve the reason to point to potential causes, like in this case OOM on the worker.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: No bare reason "api failure" but a reason with hints what to check or what could be potential error sources to dig into further

Suggestions

  • Investigate the code searching for the search term api failure and try to find out what reasons could lead to the worker returning just "api failure" without further details.
  • Extend the reason string or distinguish further what could have gone wrong here

Workaround

If anyone encounters incomplete jobs with just "api failure", check the local worker system journal for errors
