VSCode terminate task by name - visual-studio-code

I created a VSCode extension and run successfully a task by its name, like:
vscode.commands.executeCommand("workbench.action.tasks.runTask", "task_name_here");
now, when I try to terminate that task by name, the UI keeps asking me to select the task manually:
vscode.commands.executeCommand("workbench.action.tasks.terminate", "task_name_here");
Is there a way to acomplish this?

As of VSCode 1.24, there is an API that lets you do this. You can register event listeners for things like tasks being started / ending, and those events all contain a TaskExecution instance. On top of that, there is a read-only list that contains all current executions. An execution is defined like this:
/**
* An object representing an executed Task. It can be used
* to terminate a task.
*
* This interface is not intended to be implemented.
*/
export interface TaskExecution {
/**
* The task that got started.
*/
task: Task;
/**
* Terminates the task execution.
*/
terminate(): void;
}

(Laravel 5) Monitor and optionally cancel an ALREADY RUNNING job on queue

I need to achieve the ability to monitor and be able to cancel an ALREADY RUNNING job on queue.
There's a lot of answers about deleting QUEUED jobs, but not on an already running one.
This is the situation: I have a "job", which consists of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS rows on a database, that need to be queried ONE BY ONE against a web service.
Every row needs to be picked up, queried against a web service, stored the response and its status updated.
I had that already working as a Command (launching from / outputting to console), but now I need to implement queues in order to allow piling up more jobs from more users.
So far I've seen Horizon (which doesn't runs on Windows due to missing process control libs). However, in some demos seen around it lacks (I believe) a couple things I need:
Dynamically configurable timeout (the whole job may take more than 12 hours, depending on the number of rows to process on the selected job)
Ability to CANCEL an ALREADY RUNNING job.
I also considered the option to generate EACH REQUEST as a new job instead of seeing a "job" as the whole collection of rows (this would overcome the timeout thing), but that would give me a Horizon "pending jobs" list of hundreds of thousands of records per job, and that would kill the browser (I know Redis can handle this without itching at all). Further, I guess is not possible to cancel "all jobs belonging to X tag".
I've been thinking about hitting an API route, fire the job and decouple it from the app, but I'm seeing that this requires forking processes.
For the ability to cancel, I would implement a database with job_id, and when the user hits an API to cancel a job, I'd mark it as "halted". On every loop I would check its status and if it finds "halted" then kill itself.
If I've missed any aspect just holler and I'll add it or clarify about it.
So I'm asking for an advice here since I'm new to Laravel: how could I achieve this?
So I finally came up with this (a bit clunky) solution:
In Controller:
public function cancelJob()
{
$jobs = DB::table('jobs')->get();
# I could use a specific ID and user owner filter, etc.
foreach ($jobs as $job) {
DB::table('jobs')->delete($job->id);
}
# This is a file that... well, it's self explaining
touch(base_path(config('files.halt_process_signal')));
return "Job cancelled - It will stop soon";
}
In job class (inside model::chunk() function)
# CHECK FOR HALT SIGNAL AND [OPTIONALLY] STOP THE PROCESS
if ($this->service->shouldHaltProcess()) {
# build stats, do some cleanup, log, etc...
$this->halted = true;
$this->service->stopProcess();
# This FALSE is what it makes the chunk() method to stop looping
return false;
}
In service class:
/**
* Checks the existence of the 'Halt Process Signal' file
*
* #return bool
*/
public function shouldHaltProcess() :bool
{
return file_exists($this->config['files.halt_process_signal']);
}
/**
* Stop the batch process
*
* #return void
*/
public function stopProcess() :void
{
logger()->info("=== HALT PROCESS SIGNAL FOUND - STOPPING THE PROCESS ===");
$this->deleteHaltProcessSignalFile();
return ;
}
It doesn't looks quite elegant, but it works.
I've surfed the whole web and many goes for Horizon or other tools that doesn't fit my case.
If anyone has a better way to achieve this, it's welcome to share.
Laravel queue have 3 important config:
1. retry_after
2. timeout
3. tries
See more: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/queues
Dynamically configurable timeout (the whole job may take more than 12
hours, depending on the number of rows to process on the selected job)
I think you can config timeout + retry_after about 24h.
Ability to CANCEL an ALREADY RUNNING job.
Delete job in jobs table
Delete process by process id in your server
Hope it help you :)

Flutter on VS Code issue: StreamController.Sink.add() suddenly require argument PUSH

Good afternoon good people,
I'm suddenly experiencing a problem with VS Code:
in a couple of Flutter apps Streamcontroller.sink.add();
suddenly require the argument "push" (before it didn't).
without adding the push argument obviously it return the error
2 required argument(s) expected, but 1 found.dart(not_enough_required_arguments)
Does anyone know what might have happened?
thank you in advance for your help
Francesco
edit: via f12 the definition actually shows the argument push
part of dart.core;
/**
* A generic destination for data.
*
* Multiple data values can be put into a sink, and when no more data is
* available, the sink should be closed.
*
* This is a generic interface that other data receivers can implement.
*/
abstract class Sink<T> {
/**
* Adds [data] to the sink.
*
* Must not be called after a call to [close].
*/
void add(T data, Future push);
/**
* Closes the sink.
*
* The [add] method must not be called after this method.
*
* Calling this method more than once is allowed, but does nothing.
*/
void close();
}
but as pskink reminded the documentation doesn't show this requirement;
I don't have idea how this can have changed,
at this point the question is:
how do I restore it to normality?
TL;DR
what appeared to be bad code,
was instead corrupted dart code;
I followed the instruction provide by Gunter
and everything went back to normal.
Thanks again Gunter

What is difference between waitForAngularEnabled and browser.ignoreSynchronization in protractor?

What is browser.ignoreSynchronization?
/**
* If true, Protractor will not attempt to synchronize with the page before
* performing actions. This can be harmful because Protractor will not wait
* until $timeouts and $http calls have been processed, which can cause
* tests to become flaky. This should be used only when necessary, such as
* when a page continuously polls an API using $timeout.
*
* #type {boolean}
*/
&
waitForAngularEnabled
Both looks same. Is there any specific thing that can achieve by one and not by other?
They are the exact same, if you look at the source code ignoreSynchronization actually calls waitForAngularEnabled. The only thing to note is, ignoreSynchronization is being deprecated and eventually will no longer be available. They are switching to waitForAngularEnabled as the main property.
As far as what they do, that has been answered here in good detail.

How does DeltaSpike #Schedule wait finish before a new execution?

I am using this lib DeltaSpike Schedule to create cron tasks.
My task runs every minute, but I do not know how set Schedule to wait complete the old task.
#Scheduled(cronExpression = "0 * * * * ?")
public class WaiterRideTask implements Job {
}
If a task delays more than 1 minute, then other task is created yet.
Thanks Dar Whi. This solved my problem: #DisallowConcurrentExecution

Quartz.Net - delay a simple trigger to start

I have a few jobs setup in Quartz to run at set intervals. The problem is though that when the service starts it tries to start all the jobs at once... is there a way to add a delay to each job using the .xml config?
Here are 2 job trigger examples:
<simple>
<name>ProductSaleInTrigger</name>
<group>Jobs</group>
<description>Triggers the ProductSaleIn job</description>
<misfire-instruction>SmartPolicy</misfire-instruction>
<volatile>false</volatile>
<job-name>ProductSaleIn</job-name>
<job-group>Jobs</job-group>
<repeat-count>RepeatIndefinitely</repeat-count>
<repeat-interval>86400000</repeat-interval>
</simple>
<simple>
<name>CustomersOutTrigger</name>
<group>Jobs</group>
<description>Triggers the CustomersOut job</description>
<misfire-instruction>SmartPolicy</misfire-instruction>
<volatile>false</volatile>
<job-name>CustomersOut</job-name>
<job-group>Jobs</job-group>
<repeat-count>RepeatIndefinitely</repeat-count>
<repeat-interval>43200000</repeat-interval>
</simple>
As you see there are 2 triggers, the first repeats every day, the next repeats twice a day.
My issue is that I want either the first or second job to start a few minutes after the other... (because they are both in the end, accessing the same API and I don't want to overload the request)
Is there a repeat-delay or priority property? I can't find any documentation saying so..
I know you are doing this via XML but in code you can set the StartTimeUtc to delay say 30 seconds like this...
trigger.StartTimeUtc = DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(30);
This isn't exactly a perfect answer for your XML file - but via code you can use the StartAt extension method when building your trigger.
/* calculate the next time you want your job to run - in this case top of the next hour */
var hourFromNow = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(1);
var topOfNextHour = new DateTime(hourFromNow.Year, hourFromNow.Month, hourFromNow.Day, hourFromNow.Hour, 0, 0);
/* build your trigger and call 'StartAt' */
TriggerBuilder.Create().WithIdentity("Delayed Job").WithSimpleSchedule(x => x.WithIntervalInSeconds(60).RepeatForever()).StartAt(new DateTimeOffset(topOfNextHour))
You've probably already seen this by now, but it's possible to chain jobs, though it's not supported out of the box.
