Problem

When a Shell batch job terminates and dpdispatcher retries via handle_unexpected_job_state, it calls submit_job() directly without re-uploading forward_files. If files were removed from remote_root between attempts (NFS race, clean from parallel process, or wrapper timing), the retry fails with No such file or directory.

Solution

Add _ensure_forward_files_on_retry() to Job class, called before submit_job() on retry. Checks each forward_file on remote and re-uploads from local if missing. No-op when files already exist.

Backward compatible

Yes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved job retry reliability by restoring forwarded input files before resubmission.
    • Supports files, glob-pattern matches, binary files, shared forwarded files, and directories.
    • Reliably replaces existing files, directories, and symlinks, including broken symlinks.
    • Preserves existing shared files while adding missing ones.
    • Upload failures are logged as warnings without blocking job resubmission.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for retry uploads, cloud contexts, glob expansion, binary integrity, directory handling, symlink replacement, and partial or missing remote state.

When a Shell job terminates and dpdispatcher retries, the forward_files
in remote_root may have been removed or corrupted (e.g., by NFS race,
clean from a parallel process, or Volc wrapper timing issues). This
causes the retried job to fail with 'No such file or directory' on the
remote side.

Add _ensure_forward_files_on_retry() called in handle_unexpected_job_state
before submit_job() on retry. It checks each forward file on remote and
re-uploads from local if missing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Terminated job retries now restore task and submission-level forward files before resubmission. Local uploads either replace conflicting paths or preserve existing common files. Tests cover cloud contexts, binary files, glob expansion, directories, and symlinks.

Changes

Retry Forward File Restoration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Restore forward files before retry
dpdispatcher/submission.py
The retry path builds a payload with task and submission-level forward files. It calls context.upload() before resubmission and logs restoration failures while continuing the retry.
Copy and preserve remote paths
dpdispatcher/contexts/local_context.py
Local uploads remove conflicting directories, files, and symlinks. Common-file uploads can instead preserve existing remote entries and copy only missing entries.
Validate retry restoration
tests/test_retry_reupload.py, tests/test_retry_forward_directory.py, tests/test_retry_common_files.py
Tests cover payloads, cloud-context propagation, no-op and exception behavior, binary integrity, glob expansion, directory restoration, symlink replacement, and common-file preservation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f0914

Concurrent retries can race while restoring shared forward files, potentially exposing incomplete inputs or deleting files needed by another job and causing retry failures or incorrect execution. This concurrency issue should be fixed before merging.

The previous implementation used context.check_file_exists(fwd) which:
1. Checked relative to remote_root without task_work_path prefix
2. Only tested os.path.isfile, missing directory forward files

Now uses os.path.exists(remote_file) on the fully resolved absolute path,
correctly detecting both files and directories.
Address CodeRabbit review comments on PR deepmodeling#629:

1. Add -> None return annotation to _ensure_forward_files_on_retry()
2. Replace os.path.exists(remote_file) with context.check_file_exists()
   which works for all context types (Local, SSH, etc.), using the
   task-relative path as expected by the API.
3. Replace bare os.makedirs() with context-appropriate directory creation:
   - LocalContext: os.makedirs + _copy_from_local_to_remote (as before)
   - Other contexts (SSH, etc.): block_call('mkdir -p') + write_file()
   This avoids creating unintended local paths when the context is remote.
…ex.quote

Address review findings on PR deepmodeling#629:

1. BINARY SAFETY: Replace text-mode open()+write_file() with binary-safe
   copy: shutil.copy2 for local contexts, sftp.put for SSH contexts.
   Prevents corruption of .pb/.pt/.npy model weights.

2. GLOB EXPANSION: forward_files can contain patterns like '*.pb'.
   Now uses glob.glob() to expand them before checking existence.

3. forward_common_files: Now also re-uploaded on retry (previously only
   per-task files were handled). These contain model files shared across
   tasks — the most important files for a successful retry.

4. SHELL INJECTION: shlex.quote() the mkdir -p argument.

5. TESTS: Add test_retry_reupload.py with 6 test cases covering:
   - Text file re-upload
   - Binary file integrity (.pb not corrupted)
   - Glob pattern expansion
   - Already-existing files not overwritten
   - No-machine no-op
   - Missing locally and remotely (graceful)

905-908: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Unhandled exceptions from restoration will crash the whole retry loop.

_ensure_forward_files_on_retry() has no error handling. Any exception raised inside it (context calls, missing methods on unsupported context types, network hiccups) propagates straight through handle_unexpected_job_state, turning a single restoration failure into a hard crash for the entire submission instead of the graceful retry this PR aims to improve.

Add type hints to the new _get_submission and _reupload_files methods.

Neither method has any type annotations on parameters or return values, which is the same class of gap already flagged and fixed on _ensure_forward_files_on_retry in earlier commits.

…ext.upload()

Replace ~100 lines of custom re-upload logic (glob expansion, hasattr
dispatch, shlex, sftp.put, binary handling) with a 10-line method that
delegates to context.upload() — the same code path used for initial
upload, already correctly handling all context types.

Key changes:
- _ensure_forward_files_on_retry() builds a lightweight payload with
  this job's tasks + submission.forward_common_files, then calls
  context.upload(payload). This inherits binary safety, glob expansion,
  directory creation, and SSH/HDFS/Bohrium support for free.
- Get submission from context.submission (set by bind_submission()),
  not a non-existent _submission attribute.
- Wrap call site with try/except so upload failures don't crash retry.
- Delete _reupload_files (60 lines) and _get_submission (6 lines).
- Rewrite tests: 6 unit + 2 integration tests.

[P2] Make retry upload safe for existing forwarded directories

context.upload() is not idempotent for directory forward entries in LocalContext: _copy_from_local_to_remote() calls os.remove(remote_path) whenever the destination exists, which raises IsADirectoryError for an existing directory. I reproduced this with a forwarded inputs/ directory whose remote child was missing; this call raised, the caller's broad catch continued to submit_job(), and the child remained absent. Either make the LocalContext copy path replace/merge existing directories safely or use retry-specific restoration logic, and add a regression test for a partially missing remote forward directory. Because the required change is in the context copy implementation as well as this call site, an inline replacement here would be incomplete.

SchrodingersCattt and others added 3 commits August 4, 2026 09:51
Use shutil.rmtree() for existing directories instead of os.remove() which
raises IsADirectoryError. This makes context.upload() idempotent for directory
forward entries, fixing retry failures when a forwarded directory already
exists on the remote but has missing children.

Add regression tests covering directory replacement, partial remote state,
and nested directories.

Addresses reviewer feedback from njzjz-bot (P2).
Updated the regression test description for clarity.

I found two blocking retry regressions: default LocalContext directory symlinks fail during replacement, and the retry payload does not satisfy the built-in cloud context upload interface. The green CI matrix does not exercise either branch; details and localized fixes are inline.

Review context: Codex's quota is close to resetting, so I'm deliberately spending the remaining tokens on reviewing the open PR queue now.

[P1] Handle directory symlinks and broken links before retry upload

LocalContext defaults to symlink=True. For a forwarded directory, os.path.isdir(remote_path) follows the link and returns true, then shutil.rmtree raises OSError: Cannot call rmtree on a symbolic link. A broken destination symlink is also missed by os.path.exists, so the later os.symlink raises FileExistsError. The new tests all force symlink=False, leaving the default path uncovered.

Suggested change
if os.path.exists(remote_path):
os.remove(remote_path)
if os.path.isdir(remote_path):
shutil.rmtree(remote_path)
else:
os.remove(remote_path)
if os.path.lexists(remote_path):
if os.path.isdir(remote_path) and not os.path.islink(remote_path):
shutil.rmtree(remote_path)
else:
os.remove(remote_path)

Please add regressions for both a live directory symlink and a broken symlink with symlink=True.

[P2] Supply the job collection required by cloud upload contexts

OpenAPIContext.upload() and DPCloudServerContext.upload() iterate submission.belonging_jobs. This payload lacks that attribute, so retry restoration raises AttributeError; the caller swallows it and resubmits without restoring the input package. That contradicts the docstring's claim that all context types are handled.

Suggested change
class _RetryPayload:
belonging_tasks: List
forward_common_files: List
payload = _RetryPayload()
payload.belonging_tasks = self.job_task_list
payload.forward_common_files = submission.forward_common_files

payload.forward_common_files = submission.forward_common_files
context.upload(payload)

Please cover both cloud upload implementations with mock-based retry tests.

1020-1028: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Specify element types for the retry payload lists.

List without an element type does not describe the upload payload contract. Type belonging_tasks, belonging_jobs, and forward_common_files with their item types.

As per coding guidelines: dpdispatcher/**/*.py: “Always add type hints - Include proper type annotations in all Python code for better maintainability”.

Proposed fix
 class _RetryPayload:
-    belonging_tasks: List
-    belonging_jobs: List
-    forward_common_files: List
+    belonging_tasks: List["Task"]
+    belonging_jobs: List["Job"]
+    forward_common_files: List[str]

[P2] Avoid replacing shared forward files during a single-job retry

This delegates a retry for one terminated job to the full initial upload path, including every forward_common_file. In LocalContext, an existing shared file or directory is removed before it is recreated. Sibling jobs can still be running at this point, so they may fail while opening a shared model/input during that gap; copied directories make the window especially large. Please restore only missing shared entries, or stage and atomically replace them without making the live path disappear.

This catches every restoration failure and then immediately continues into self.submit_job(). If the remote work directory was cleaned or an input is unavailable, the retry is therefore submitted without its required forward files and predictably fails again, hiding the actionable staging error. Restoration needs to succeed before resubmission; let the exception propagate.

Fixed in 84c7f7d. Forward-file restoration exceptions now propagate before submit_job, and the regression test verifies that resubmission is not attempted when restoration fails. Verification passed: Ruff, ty, 185 tests (42 skipped), CLI, and docs.

Propagate forward-file restoration failures so a retry cannot submit a job without its required inputs.
