Expected Behavior

The client should throw an exception immidiatley

Actual Behavior

Calling activityCompletionClient.complete with an invalid task token, gives a timeout after a while instead of an error.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

    workflowClient.newActivityCompletionClient().complete(
        "bogus".toByteArray(), ""
    )

2. Timeout occurs after a while with the following exception: Caused by: io.grpc.StatusRuntimeException: UNKNOWN: unexpected EOF

Thanks for reporting this! The issue you are experiencing is indeed a known problem, and we're working on a fix for a future release. This is because the ActivityCompletionClient is asynchronous and will not throw exceptions until the complete or completeExceptionally method is actually called. You can access the ActivityCompletionClient's error property to check for errors.

Until the fix is available, you can use a try-catch block to handle errors in an Activity. This might look like:

try:
    workflowClient.newActivityCompletionClient().complete(
        "bogus".toByteArray(), ""
    )
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Activity Completion Client error: {e}")
