fix: add retry with exp backoff to action plugins#167
Merged
Conversation
The anarchy_subject_update and anarchy_schedule_action plugins
call response.json() without error handling. When the anarchy
API returns an empty body or a non-JSON response due to
transient issues, json.loads("") raises JSONDecodeError:
"Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)". This causes
intermittent provision failures that succeed on retry.
- Add retry loop (3 attempts, exponential backoff: 5s, 10s)
- Add response.raise_for_status() before parsing JSON
- Catch RequestException, ValueError, and KeyError
- Log warnings on each failed attempt via ansible display
- Return actionable error message when all retries exhausted
- Update to latest kopf - Fix tests for updated ansible - Fix a few logging statements
