Description Dan Callaghan 2013-06-25 00:44:25 UTC

Description of problem:
The external watchdog triggered on the second task in a recipe with many tasks, even though the recipe appeared to have completed successfully.

Looking in console.log it appears the harness failed to run the task (after rhts-reboot) with the following exception:

2013-06-21 16:00:14,488 backend simple_recipe: ERROR Encoutnered problem while running task '13363603'.  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/beah/backends/beakerlc.py", line 510, in simple_recipe  
    result = task.getResult()  
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 584, in getResult  
    self.result.raiseException()  
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 605, in _deferGenerator  
    result = g.next()  
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/beah/backends/beakerlc.py", line 562, in _run_task  
    for role, hostnames in roles.items():  
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'items'  

so the task was never stopped in Beaker and the EWD eventually killed it off.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.12.1

How reproducible:
not reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
unknown

Comment 2 Dan Callaghan 2013-06-25 00:46:02 UTC

I don't see any way that the server/LC could have returned a bool from get_peer_roles, so I suspect something iffy happened in the harness in this case. The fact that it failed after rhts-reboot in the same task is suspicious.

Beah is no longer supported by Beaker development team.
Instead of that, we are working on Restraint test harness. You can find all the features of Restraint here.

https://restraint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

If you think your RFE should be still implemented as part of Restraint feel free to create a new BZ ticket.

In case you have any question feel free to reach out to me
Thank you,
