Retry ingesting a recording about pyca HOT 9 CLOSED

Should that be a command line option or something on the/a web-ui?

If ingesting a recording has failed (e.g. network problems), the user
has to ingest the recording by hand outside of pyCA.

It would be nice if pyCA provides a switch (e.g. pyCA --ingest-now recording-xyz) that can be used to retrigger ingesting a recording.

A command line option would be a very good start, but being able to
trigger this from the web-ui would be a nice addition. Preferably with a
list of available recordings (dropdown menu).

I did a quick implementation in #33 , but I'm not a good python dev at all, so any suggestions for improvements are very, very welcome. It seems to work just fine for me.

This has been effectively implemented with the DB integration and process split.

Not quite (at least not if I did not miss anything). If an upload failed, the status would be set to FAILED_UPLOADING and not be picked up again. An easy solution would be to add an action column to the recordings table in the user interface where you have a “Retry Ingest” link which would effectively set the recordings status to FINISHED_RECORDING again.

My bad, you are right.

From discussion:

Let's have a re-ingest button in the recording table if state > RECORDING_FINISHED

from pyca.

Would be handled by #73, PATCH-ing the event state to Status.FINISHED_RECORDING, which in turn triggers the ingest service to try another ingest.

from pyca.

Todo to get this done:

• Create a retry_ingest REST endpoint
• The endpoint only accepts identifier for recordings which are in the state FAILED_UPLOADING
• The endpoint will change the status to FINISHED_RECORDING which will make pyCA automatically try to upload the recording again
• Add an option to the recording table to trigger an update
