JobRunnerResponse.failed() - Does this do anything useful?

Question

Hi,

I'm returning JobRunnerResponse.failed(e) from my JobRunner during fail conditions and while testing a fail and running a job from the Scheduled Jobs screen, I don't see the error/exception/failure indicated in the interface or in the History view.  There isn't even anything logged (unless I log the exception myself in a catch).

So, what's the point returning this really?  SHOULD the Scheduled Jobs screen be indicating to the user that the job failed or not?

Thanks,

Al

Hello Al,

I don’t have a direct answer as to how the JobRunnerResponse should be presenting the results if failed. I did find some resources which discuss JobRunnerResponse along with two other developer posts which reference JobRunnerResponse.

Here are is developer information:

* https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-scheduler/2.0.0/xref/index.html
* Class JobRunnerResponse

Here are the developer posts:

* How to give administrative permission to Scheduler
* Atlassian scheduler in 7.4.2 jira version not showing up right time in Scheduler details

I hope the provided documents and posts assist with finding out how JobRunnerResponse should function.

Something to be aware of is this is a support community and not often browsed by developers. We want to ensure you get the responses and answers you need so we would suggest you check out the Developer Community. The Developer Community may have more available resources to answer or address your developer questions.
