Removing a function with active replicas (task running) fails

[carlosedp]

Trying to remove a function that is currently running (has a RUNNING task), fails.

After trying to remove again, it succeeds.

Expected Behaviour

Function gets removed with first command.

Current Behaviour

Running function:

❯ faas store deploy figlet --name=figlet2

Task gets stopped but container is not removed:

❯ sudo ctr -n openfaas-fn container ls
CONTAINER    IMAGE                                RUNTIME

❯ sudo ctr -n openfaas-fn task ls
TASK       PID     STATUS

figlet2    7252    STOPPED

Running remove command again, removes:

❯ faas-cli remove figlet2

Hi, did you try what I explained on slack yet? The timeout for deletions is around 3s but the watchdog stays holding for "write_timeout" seconds.

You need to deploy with a value lower than that. So try 1s.

[carlosedp]

Yes, when deploying with --env write_timeout=1s the function gets removed correctly but by using the default (no write_timeout parameter) it fails.

[alexellis]

Great. So it's a timing problem. We can't wait indefinitely to delete a container so it needs to have a limit, maybe a bigger limit than what's there now.
