Summary
Addresses #2579 where a task can be stuck in
PENDING
for ever when container dependencies cannot be fulfilled.Implementation details
Adding the concept of terminal dependency error to detect cases where container dependencies can never succeed. When a terminal dependency error is detected, we simply forcefully stop the container with the "bad" dependencies.
This new behavior triggers a chain reaction that eventually stops the task if an essential container has terminal dependency errors. If essential containers don't have terminal dependency errors, then the task is allowed to start.
Containers that are forcefully stopped are marked with exitCode
143
. This is the code docker assigns when a container receivesSIGTERM
. Although we technically don't sendSIGTERM
to containers stopped due to terminal dependency errors, this exit code is the closest to reality. However, customers will be able to see a text description of the exact error when this edge case is hit.For example (from AWS console):
