retry code is invalid

[pigLoveRabbit520]

Problem description

Retry code is not valid:

// Unary RPCs only
var maxRetries = 3;
var interceptor = function(options, nextCall) {
    var savedMetadata;
    var savedSendMessage;
    var savedReceiveMessage;
    var savedMessageNext;
    var requester = {
        start: function(metadata, listener, next) {
            savedMetadata = metadata;
            var newListener = {
                onReceiveMessage: function(message, next) {
                    savedReceiveMessage = message;
                    savedMessageNext = next;
                },
                onReceiveStatus: function(status, next) {
                    var retries = 0;
                    var retry = function(message, metadata) {
                        retries++;
                        var newCall = nextCall(options);
                        newCall.start(metadata, {
                            onReceiveMessage: function(message) {
                                savedReceiveMessage = message;
                            },
                            onReceiveStatus: function(status) {
                                if (status.code !== grpc.status.OK) {
                                    if (retries <= maxRetries) {
                                        retry(message, metadata);
                                    } else {
                                        savedMessageNext(savedReceiveMessage);
                                        next(status);
                                    }
                                } else {
                                    savedMessageNext(savedReceiveMessage);
                                    next({code: grpc.status.OK});
                                }
                            }
                        })
                    };
                    if (status.code !== grpc.status.OK) {
                        retry(savedSendMessage, savedMetadata);
                    } else {
                        savedMessageNext(savedReceiveMessage);
                        next(status);
                    }
                }
            };
            next(metadata, newListener);
        },
        sendMessage: function(message, next) {
            savedSendMessage = message;
            next(message);
        }
    };
    return new InterceptingCall(nextCall(options), requester);
};

code is from doc

Reproduction steps

1. stop the server
2. start the client and client will retry
3. start the server and client will always retry until to max retry times instead of reconnecting to server and getting response.

Environment

• OS name [Ubuntu 20.04 amd64]
• Node version [v14.16.1]
• Package name and version ["@grpc/grpc-js": "^1.3.0"]

[murgatroid99]

The retry code doesn't control how the client connects to the server. Can you run the client with the environment variables GRPC_TRACE=all and GRPC_VERBOSITY=DEBUG and share the output so that we can see what exactly is happening?
