blocked with a pointer to this thread. (yesterday i'd seen some further LTC timelosses after the unblock, but let them slide; with this recent batch of errors, reblocked.)
vdbergh (or anyone) id like if you could investigate this worker https://tests.stockfishchess.org/actions?action=failed_task&user=&text=Sylvain27
the user unblocked this worker today after I'd blocked it yesterday (it was timelossing on LTC!). after unblock, there's a smattering of

, and later on it was givingStale active task
so something is up with itit's a symptom pattern that ive not seen before and i dont think i can really investigate thru just the webpages
There are 3 things here
Finished match uncleanly
It is not known what causes this (the condition comes from cutechess). I have never encountered this error in personal testing. We would need the log of some worker to investigate./api/request_spsa: request['spsa'] (value:{'num_games': 124, 'wins': 0, 'losses': 0, 'draws': 0})
. It is also not known what causes such zero updates but it should be possible to find this in the worker.Stale active task
: This occurs when the worker is unable to update a task and gives up. To understand this particular case one would need a log.BTW when blocking a worker it is best to also send an email. There is a link which brings up a convenient template. Indicate in the message when the email was sent so that someone else does not send another message.

this is common under load, i.e. the server is not able to keep up, and we have the 30s timeouts (multiple times).

that's what's peculiar about this case, is that the server wasn't under load, it was strictly worker-side as far as I could figure. I mean the fleet was on at the time but there were no other signs of load, no spsa fails, no vdv workers were stale, so im pretty sure that these stales, from just this one worker, were caused by the worker, as vdbergh notes.
BTW when blocking a worker it is best to also send an email.
At the present time I'm not really willing to initiate email to strangers... is it possible to use a github email address...?

at this point it appears that banning the worker doesn't even accomplish anything, so i leave it in other peoples' hands
I think the only way to robustly debug such issues is for the worker to upload the log associated with a task to the server, where it should be accessible to a new kind of user: "fishtest-developer".
But to do this in a clean way, I think this would require an overhaul in the worker from logging with printf to a proper logging framework.
