[HTCondor-users] Recover the docker container exit code in the PostScript

[Andres Ayala <Andres.Ayala@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I am testing the latest HTCondor release:

python3-condor-24.10.0-0.817740.el9.x86_64

condor-24.10.0-0.817740.el9.x86_64

 

And I have found an issue with the “PostScript” (or maybe is because I was using incorrectly it from the beginning)

 

I am running the jobs in the docker universe, and I have a PostScript to perform some actions after the container has finished.

In this script I need to know the exit status of the container (signal or exit code) and up to now I was able to get that information directly at the working directory with a code like:

 

Import classad2 as classad

 

job_ad = os.environ.get('_CONDOR_JOB_AD')

with open(job_ad, 'r') as ft:

    ca = classad.parseOne(ft)

 

toe = ca[‘ToE’]

if toe[‘ExitBySignal’]:

    signal = toe[‘ExitSignal’]

else:

    code = toe[‘ExitCode’]

         

 

Now ToE is not any longer in the job ads. In the submitter is not an issue, as I can find the same information in TerminatedNormally, ReturnValue and TerminatedBySignal, but in the PostScript I cannot get that values any longer.

I only find:

ExitBySignal = false

ExitStatus = 0

With that values, no matter how the contaier has really finished.

 

Is the job ad file being updated once the docker container finish?

I am using the proper way to recover the exit status of the container?

 

Thanks!

Andrés Ayala
