According to the log message (and c97qk workbench dashboard) the queue is empty, in which case wishlist=0 is correct. Was there a job queued that has since been cancelled?

There is a job queued. Also listed on the workbench dashboard. How come you didn't see it?

Looks like this is yet another instance of "you can't run two job dispatchers at the same time":

  • Subject changed from [Node manager] node manager thinks 'server wishlist' is empty when there is a job waiting to run to [Crunch] crunch-dispatch fails to mark a job failed when its retry loop aborts
  • Category set to Crunch

This is the critical section of logs:

dispatch: c97qk-8i9sb-3k4o5augc494rm0: crunch-dispatch was stopped during job's tempfail retry loop
dispatch: tried to mark job c97qk-8i9sb-3k4o5augc494rm0 as failed but it was already locked by someone else

When a job fails because of node failures, the same crunch-dispatch that originally launched it must retry it as many times as desired, because the API token that holds the lock only exists in its memory.

If that crunch-dispatch gets a TERM process, it will stop retrying the job, and mark that job failed. It turns out this last step, itself, is failing. When it tries to mark the job failed, it tries to lock the job, and that fails because the job's first crunch-job process already got the lock.

crunch-dispatch needs to be taught not to acquire the lock in this case, because it effectively already has it.

The job you're referring to (c97qk-8i9sb-3k4o5augc494rm0) was in the Running state. That's not the same thing as Queued.

I can't really figure out a good way to test this (I tried, I can at least verify there are no syntax errors that prevent execution), but I understand and agree with the logic, so LGTM.
