Cancel a task — rrq_task

Cancel a single task. If the task is PENDING it will be unqueued and the status set to CANCELED. If RUNNING then the task will be stopped if it was set to run in a separate process (i.e., queued with separate_process = TRUE). Dependent tasks will be marked as impossible.

Usage

rrq_task_cancel(task_id, wait = TRUE, timeout_wait = 10, controller = NULL)

Arguments

task_id: Id of the task to cancel
wait: Wait for the task to be stopped, if it was running.
timeout_wait: Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for the task to be cancelled by the worker.
controller: The controller to use. If not given (or NULL) we'll use the controller registered with rrq_default_controller_set().

Value

Nothing if successfully cancelled, otherwise throws an error with task_id and status e.g. Task 123 is not running (MISSING)

Examples

if (FALSE) { # rrq:::enable_examples(require_queue = "rrq:example")
obj <- rrq_controller("rrq:example")

t <- rrq_task_create_expr(Sys.sleep(4), separate_process = TRUE,
                          controller = obj)
Sys.sleep(0.5)
rrq_task_cancel(t, controller = obj)
rrq_task_status(t, controller = obj)
}
