WebVideoJobRunner silently fails to pick up transcode jobs under HHVM
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In MediaWiki-Vagrant with 'timedmediahandler' role enabled, manually running WebVideoJobRunner fails to actually run any jobs:

0 existing job runners, Check for new transcode jobs: nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout
0 existing job runners, Check for new transcode jobs: nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout
0 existing job runners, Check for new transcode jobs: nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout

^ that 0 should change to 1 or 2 while things run, but it just stays at 0.

Haven't gone looking for error logs yet.

Workaround: run under Zend PHP (on MediaWiki-Vagrant, enable 'zend' role).

bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

As of I0f8b36d47, we provision a jobrunner service that processes jobs of all types in the background, so the need for WebVideoJobRunner (in MediaWiki-Vagrant, at least) is obviated.

There are higher-priority bugs to resolve at the moment, but I think it would be worthwhile to try and reproduce it and figure out exactly what is going on.

Closing as WONTFIX -- the script I was using is obsoleted by newer infrastructure. \o/

Might track it down later, or might just kill the script. ;)
