Google App Engine: task_retry_limit doesn't work?

Question

I have a Python GAE app.

I want my tasks to stop running or just retry once if they fail. Right now, they run forever despite what my yaml file is telling them!

Answer 1

I had the same problem, strangely it seems to start working fine after I left it as is for few hours... Perhaps there is some time needed for GAE to refresh??

Anyway, the settings worked for me are:

# configure the default queue
- name: default
  rate: 1/s
  retry_parameters:
    # task will stop retrying ONLY when BOTH LIMITS ARE REACHED
    task_retry_limit: 1
    task_age_limit: 1s
