New submission from Miguel Grinberg:
I am seeing a strange issue that occurs when a task that is awaiting an
asyncio.wait_for() is cancelled. I created a simple example that I think
demonstrates the issue, even though it isn't exactly how it manifests on my
application.
When I run the attached script never-retrieved.py I get the following error:
Task exception was never retrieved
future: <Task finished coro=<crash() done, defined at never-retrieved.py:4>
exception=ZeroDivisionError('division by zero',)>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 239, in _step
result = coro.send(None)
File "never-retrieved.py", line 5, in crash
a = 1/0
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
You can see in the script that the future was cancelled, but the cancel() call
was made after the task finished in a zero division error. I think the cancel()
call should update the internal state of the future so that the "exception was
never retrieved" error does not appear.
My application has a more complex setup that I have been unable to reproduce
with a simple example. I have a task that is waiting on asyncio.wait_for(fut,
timeout), with fut subsequently waiting on a websocket server's receive
function. When the websocket client closes the connection, a bunch of
cancellations happen, but this future inside the wait_for call crashes before
wait_for gets to call cancel() on it. Even though I need to investigate this
crash, the fact is that wait_for did cancel this future, but because it already
ended in an error the "never retried" error is reported anyway.
