BUG: failed jobs showing stale information in "Error" tab after manual retry

[itay-davidson]

When I manually retry failed jobs in my and they fail again, the information shown in the "Error" is that of the first retry, not that of the latest.

This can be quite frustrating as not all jobs have proper logs, and it leaves me with no choice other than checking my app logs which is time consuming.

Error information should probably be that of the latest retry, or maybe an aggregation of all tries.

Hi, thank you for reporting this issue.

Bull-board doesn't saves any Queue or Job state, this means that it takes the data avilable on the queue each request.
Which means that probably bull / bullmq has this issue.
Can you try debugging it?

(do the entire flow from within you app, and get the failed job...)

@itay-davidson, I just wanted to clarify: Are the stack traces displayed in the Error tab for a given job listed from oldest to newest, requiring you to scroll all the way down to find the most recent error? And are you suggesting that the most recent errors should be displayed from top to bottom?

I can confirm that stack traces are displayed oldest to newest.

@ahnwarez will you make a PR for the sorting issue?

@felixmosh Absolutely. I'll start working it.
