Weird Runtime Error: The action did not produce a valid response and exited unexpectedly.
I have two Runtime actions:
1) Get a list (array) of files to download (filename -> download URL)
2) Upload file contents to database.
The array in action 1 contains 200-250 key/value pairs at any given time. Per key/value pair in the Action 1 array, I invoke action 2 (upload files) as non-blocking via the OpenWhisk package. I'm also leveraging a 5 second delay after every 10 results to avoid concurrency error.
for (let i = 0; i < filesToUpload.length; i++) {
if((i + 1) % 10 === 0 )await sleep(5000);
var name = 'upload-file';
var blocking = false;
var result = true;
var params = {file: filesToUpload[i]};
await ow.actions.invoke({name, blocking, result, params}).then(result => {
activations.push(result);
}).catch(err => {
activations.push(err);
})
}
When I look at my activation log (limit 50) after running action 1 (consequently invoking 200-250 action 2), I see 85% success, but 15% have a "developer error" status:
When I dig into an individual activation with a "developer error" using wsk activation get, I see this in the response:
"response": {
"status": "action developer error",
"statusCode": 0,
"success": false,
"result": {
"error": "The action did not produce a valid response and exited unexpectedly."
}
}
I have no idea why this is happening without any real rhyme or reason. The error message is non-descriptive and doesn't really help me drill down to the root of the issue. I have proper error handling set up and return error statusCodes/messages when errors happen in my code.
@mihai-corlan , you seem to be the Runtime responder in this forum from Adobe. Any thoughts on this?
