Terminate running task

[Mariska]

Is there a way to terminate a running task directly without restarting NXRM3 ? I've  a long running task and already tried to stop it via the "Stop" button, but the execution is not interrupted. 

Thanks,

Mariska.

That should do it. Which task is it? Can you see log entries still accumulating for the task-specific log file?

Hi,

It's a custom groovy task and I can still see it running and logging to the specific logfile.

The task searches through a specific hosted maven repository for assets, and checks the number of versions of the assets component and last downloaded time, but as there are so many assets, it's running for hours and it won't stop. I've to optimise it, but it would be nice if it listens to the stop button. It starts a database transaction.

Thanks,

Mariska

Task cancellation is a request, normally the task's code periodically checks to see whether it has been cancelled. That said, I don't think the cancellation status was exposed to scripts directly,  possibly you could include code in your task to query the TaskManager / TaskScheduler.

Including code to query the TaskManager might be a good idea. I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

One more question (hope you won't mind). I've been trying to find the state of the current task (probably not the best way to do this):

```

import org.sonatype.nexus.scheduling.TaskState

import org.sonatype.nexus.scheduling.Task

import org.sonatype.nexus.scheduling.TaskInfo

import org.sonatype.nexus.scheduling.CurrentState

TaskScheduler taskScheduler = container.lookup(TaskScheduler.class.getName())

TaskInfo existingTask = taskScheduler.listsTasks().find { TaskInfo taskInfo ->

    taskInfo.name == "0-test"

}

sleep(10000)

if (existingTask) {

log.debug("currentState: ${existingTask.getCurrentState()}")

}

```

When I run this task (which I named "0-test"), I would expect it to log "RUNNING_CANCELED", if I click the "Stop" button to stop the task within 10 seconds of starting the task, but it always gives me:

021-06-04 13:58:24,704+0200 DEBUG [quartz-10-thread-9]  *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.internal.script.ScriptTask - currentState: CurrentStateImpl{state=RUNNING, nextRun=null, future=org.sonatype.nexus.quartz.internal.task.QuartzT
askFuture@28ebb670}

Question: how would I get the RUNNING_CANCELED state or have the custom script listen to the Stop button? When I click on the Stop button, I do get a message that the task is stopped.

Thanks,

Mariska.
