What is TombstonedTaskError from App Engine's Task Queue?
- by dbr
That does the TombstonedTaskError mean? It is being raised while trying to add a task to the queue, from a cron-job:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 501, in __call__
handler.get(*groups)
File "/base/data/home/apps/.../tasks.py", line 132, in get
).add(queue_name = 'userfeedcheck')
File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/api/labs/taskqueue/taskqueue.py", line 495, in add
return Queue(queue_name).add(self)
File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/api/labs/taskqueue/taskqueue.py", line 563, in add
self.__TranslateError(e)

raise TombstonedTaskError(error.error_detail)
TombstonedTaskError
Searching the documentation only has the following to say:
exception TombstonedTaskError(InvalidTaskError)
Task has been tombstoned.
..which isn't particularly helpful.
I couldn't find anything useful in the App Engine code either..
