[Docker Cleaner] Crashes on startup when the Docker daemon has no events
Added by Brett Smith almost 8 years ago.
Updated almost 8 years ago.
Description
At least with Docker 1.7.1, if you ask for events in a series where there are none, it yields an empty string. Note this is not a bytes object, so when Docker cleaner tries to decode it, it crashes:
% sudo service docker restart
% py
Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct 8 2014, 10:45:20)
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux

>>> import docker, time
>>> t = int(time.time())
>>> dc = docker.Client(version='1.14')
>>> evs = dc.events(until=t - 1)
>>> next(evs)
''
>>> _.decode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
Docker cleaner should probably check for the empty string and treat it as a non-event.

Reported behaviour couldn't be reproduced using Docker 1.6.2 and 1.8.2; Python version 3.4.2 & python3-docker package versions 1.7.2-1bpo8 (from June 2nd) and earlier version 1.7.2-1 (from March 30th) on Debian Jessie:

I see the same now with Docker 1.6.2, Python 3.4.2, docker-py 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 (installed from pip).
This is the main method that streams events. When I filed this, I looked at it and convinced myself that it was going into the else: branch, which can yield something very different from the loop in the main branch. But, definitely that conditional is very sensitive to the underlying stack: both what the Docker daemon returns, and how the requests library represents it. Given we can't reproduce this anymore, I think we're good to close this for now, figuring it's been addressed at some lower level of the stack. Thanks for digging into it so thoroughly.
