Google-api-nodejs-client: "Resource Not Found: groupKey" randomly appears

Created on 2 Apr 2014  路  12Comments  路  Source: googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client

I have a script that:

  1. Creates a new group
  2. Adds a member to that group
  3. Removes the member from that group
  4. Deletes the group
  5. Continue with step 1

The code is:

// Authentication via JWT
...
var testGroup = "[email protected]"
  , emailToAdd = "[email protected]"
  , k = 0
  ;

(function foo () {

    console.log("-------- TEST " + (++k) + " --------------");
    // group insert
    client.admin.groups.insert({
        email: testGroup
    }).execute(function (err, data) {

        console.log("Group create: ", err || data);
        // member insert
        client.admin.members.insert({
            groupKey: testGroup
        }, {
            email: emailToAdd
        }).execute(function (err, data) {

            console.log("Member insert", err || data);

            // member delete
            client.admin.members.delete({
                groupKey: testGroup
              , memberKey: emailToAdd
            }).execute(function (err, data) {
                console.log("Member remove", err || data);

                // group delete
                client.admin.groups.delete({
                    groupKey: testGroup
                }).execute(function (err, data) {
                    console.log("Group remove", err || data);
                    foo();
                });
            });
        });
    });
})()
...

Sometimes the Resource Not Found: groupKey error appears. I suppose that the group is not yet created and the member add request is run. How can I solve this?

The output of the script is:

       reason: 'duplicate',

Temporary fixed adding some timeouts, but it's not an elegant solution...

@rakyll Any progress on this?

This looks like a race condition that's happening at the API level, not at our client level. Specifically at TEST 4

Seems the group is created with the id groupKey, then member insertion fails because the API fails to see the new group. Member remove fails subsequently because it was never inserted in the first place, and then group deletion works because the API finally sees the new group.

Will devs fix this?

Bug filed internally. b/16196229

Thanks!

@IonicaBizau Wish I had a better response than this but they replied to the internal bug saying 'Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)' with a reason related to their architecture choice. Hopefully this issue will eventually resolve itself internally but for now I am closing this issue as it's technically unrelated to this API client.

ryanseys picture ryanseys on 11 Jul 2014

Thanks for feedback. The workaround I found is to set some timeouts (~4000ms) to be _sure_ that the API did its job.

That's why I LOVE Google APIs: not only friendly error messages and great documentations - but they also fix their bugs very quickly. Go Google!

@IonicaBizau that's also the fastest way to let your customers know you don't give a sh*t about them. It's very unfortunate that a company like Google shows this kind of unprofessional attitude...

alfasin picture alfasin on 3 May 2015

Well, let's hope the time will fix it. :smile: Probably they try to keep the issues clean.
