Checking batch job status fails

[sokil]

I have batch job that perform some one-time short-running task. Successfull deploument looks like:

Today i'v got error:

2022-07-06T14:57:07Z |ERRO| levant/deploy: job deployment failed job_id=some_nomad_job_name

In successful deployment time between "levant/job_status_checker: running job status checker for job" and first status is 0 seconds.
In failed - 4 seconds. During this time my job was successfully finished and has status 'dead' but levant thinks that this task is just dead so it exited with non zero code and fails by CI pipeline.

As i see, levant have some problems with communication to nomad and its tooks to long time to get job status.
Is it possible to disable check of job? because asynchronous checking of short lived tasks may fail unexpectedly

I have the same problem, levant marks deployment as failed because it checks job status, which can be pending, running and dead
This status can't tell us about was container or smth else exited successfully or not

hi,

same issue .. I have a one-shot container which creates files and then exit 0 .. but pipeline is marked as failed:

You can check status of allocation via cli. It works for checking until it won't be fixed

Via levant or via Nomad Cli ? Can you give me an example? It sounds for me, that I then need to add an exit 0 and check the state on a separate task.

[DevKhaverko]

      IDs=($(nomad job allocs -namespace "ns_name" -t '{{ $IDs := . }}{{ range $IDs }}{{ printf .ID }} {{ end }}' "job_name"))
      lastID="${IDs[0]}"
      status=$(nomad alloc status -namespace "ns_name" -short -t '{{ (index .ClientStatus) }}' "$lastID")
      if [[ "$status" != "complete" ]]; then
         echo "Job failed check error in logs: $NOMAD_ADDR/ui/allocations/$lastID/job_name-task/logs" 
         exit 1
      else
         echo "Job successfully finished"
      fi

Also I missed checking while job is running, just add while loop before checking status "complete"
