Troubleshooting

Task is stuck

Suppose validate_mixing task started and never finished.

• look at election logs in /srv/zeus/install/data/election_logs
• look at journalctl for that time

Then, if all else fails:

sudo -iu zeus
cd /srv/zeus/install
../virtualenv/bin/python manage.py shell

>>> from helios.models import *
>>> poll = Poll.objects.get(uuid=...)
>>> poll.validate_mixing_status
'running'

That means you can reset the status of the task, and run the task again:

>>> poll.validate_mixing_status = 'pending'
>>> poll.save()
>>> from zeus.tasks import poll_validate_mixing
>>> poll_validate_mixing.delay(poll.pk)

Then reload and check status:

>>> poll = Poll.objects.get(uuid=...)
>>> poll.zeus_stage
'FINISHED'
