Package taskqueue provides a client for App Engine's taskqueue service. Using this service, applications may perform work outside a user's request.
A Task may be constructed manually; alternatively, since the most common taskqueue operation is to add a single POST task, NewPOSTTask makes it easy.
t := taskqueue.NewPOSTTask("/worker", url.Values{ "key": {key}, }) taskqueue.Add(c, t, "") // add t to the default queue
Variables
ErrTaskAlreadyAdded
var (
// ErrTaskAlreadyAdded is the error returned by Add and AddMulti when a task has already been added with a particular name.
ErrTaskAlreadyAdded = errors.New("taskqueue: task has already been added")
)Functions
func Delete
Delete deletes a task from a named queue.
func DeleteMulti
DeleteMulti deletes multiple tasks from a named queue. If a given task could not be deleted, an appengine.MultiError is returned. Each task is deleted independently; one may fail to delete while the others are successfully deleted.
func ModifyLease
ModifyLease modifies the lease of a task. Used to request more processing time, or to abandon processing. leaseTime is in seconds and must not be negative.
func Purge
Purge removes all tasks from a queue.
QueueStatistics
type QueueStatistics struct {
Tasks int // may be an approximation
OldestETA time.Time // zero if there are no pending tasks
Executed1Minute int // tasks executed in the last minute
InFlight int // tasks executing now
EnforcedRate float64 // requests per second
}QueueStatistics represents statistics about a single task queue.
func QueueStats
func QueueStats(c context.Context, queueNames []string) ([]QueueStatistics, error)QueueStats retrieves statistics about queues.
RequestHeaders
type RequestHeaders struct {
QueueName string
TaskName string
TaskRetryCount int64
TaskExecutionCount int64
TaskETA time.Time
TaskPreviousResponse int
TaskRetryReason string
FailFast bool
}RequestHeaders are the special HTTP request headers available to push task HTTP request handlers. These headers are set internally by App Engine. See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go/taskqueue/push/creating-handlers#reading_request_headers for a description of the fields.
func ParseRequestHeaders
func ParseRequestHeaders(h http.Header) *RequestHeadersParseRequestHeaders parses the special HTTP request headers available to push task request handlers. This function silently ignores values of the wrong format.
RetryOptions
type RetryOptions struct {
// Number of tries/leases after which the task fails permanently and is deleted.
// If AgeLimit is also set, both limits must be exceeded for the task to fail permanently.
RetryLimit int32
// Maximum time allowed since the task's first try before the task fails permanently and is deleted (only for push tasks).
// If RetryLimit is also set, both limits must be exceeded for the task to fail permanently.
AgeLimit time.Duration
// Minimum time between successive tries (only for push tasks).
MinBackoff time.Duration
// Maximum time between successive tries (only for push tasks).
MaxBackoff time.Duration
// Maximum number of times to double the interval between successive tries before the intervals increase linearly (only for push tasks).
MaxDoublings int32
// If MaxDoublings is zero, set ApplyZeroMaxDoublings to true to override the default non-zero value.
// Otherwise a zero MaxDoublings is ignored and the default is used.
ApplyZeroMaxDoublings bool
}RetryOptions let you control whether to retry a task and the backoff intervals between tries.
Task
type Task struct {
// Path is the worker URL for the task.
// If unset, it will default to /_ah/queue/A Task represents a task to be executed.
func Add
Add adds the task to a named queue. An empty queue name means that the default queue will be used. Add returns an equivalent Task with defaults filled in, including setting the task's Name field to the chosen name if the original was empty.
func AddMulti
AddMulti adds multiple tasks to a named queue. An empty queue name means that the default queue will be used. AddMulti returns a slice of equivalent tasks with defaults filled in, including setting each task's Name field to the chosen name if the original was empty. If a given task is badly formed or could not be added, an appengine.MultiError is returned.
func Lease
Lease leases tasks from a queue. leaseTime is in seconds. The number of tasks fetched will be at most maxTasks.
func LeaseByTag
func LeaseByTag(c context.Context, maxTasks int, queueName string, leaseTime int, tag string) ([]*Task, error)LeaseByTag leases tasks from a queue, grouped by tag. If tag is empty, then the returned tasks are grouped by the tag of the task with earliest ETA. leaseTime is in seconds. The number of tasks fetched will be at most maxTasks.
func NewPOSTTask
NewPOSTTask creates a Task that will POST to a path with the given form data.
