transfer app forever transferring #263

Open steveandroulakis opened 11 years ago

steveandroulakis commented 11 years ago

EPN 4550d (particularly large experiment) progressed through the InProgress state in the usual fashion (displaying progress), and then suddenly stopped displaying progress. Subsequent calls to VBL return

{"status": 2, "timestamp": "1331618171", "message": "", "human_status": "Transfer In Progress", "error": "VBL: (VBL002-4550d): step.txt missing or blank"}

Investigate!

This is a problem as we're clearly in an error state, but the VBL is still reporting that the transfer is in progress.

TODO:

  1. Report the error correctly
  2. Figure out where step.txt went

The transfer itself actually succeeded, but a bug in VBL meant that the status was never updated to the finished/complete state. The bug is triggered when an experiment has a large number of files (> 10000 or so). I’ve fixed that on the VBL end.

The state data (step.txt) is missing because it is deleted when the transfer is completed.
