# Work Summary: Execution Result Capture Implementation
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-01-16
|
||||
**Status:** COMPLETED ✅
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented comprehensive execution result capture in the worker service to store detailed information about action executions including exit codes, stdout/stderr output, log file paths, and execution duration.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Statement
|
||||
|
||||
The worker was successfully executing actions but not capturing or storing execution results properly:
|
||||
- Exit code not recorded
|
||||
- stdout/stderr not captured in database
|
||||
- Log file paths not tracked
|
||||
- No way to view execution output after completion
|
||||
- Insufficient debugging information for failed executions
|
||||
|
||||
**Example of previous result:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"data": null
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Enhanced Result Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Updated `handle_execution_success` to build comprehensive result object:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let mut result_data = serde_json::json!({
|
||||
"exit_code": result.exit_code,
|
||||
"duration_ms": result.duration_ms,
|
||||
"succeeded": true,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Add log file paths if logs exist
|
||||
if !result.stdout.is_empty() {
|
||||
result_data["stdout_log"] = serde_json::json!(stdout_path);
|
||||
result_data["stdout"] = serde_json::json!(stdout_preview);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if !result.stderr.is_empty() {
|
||||
result_data["stderr_log"] = serde_json::json!(stderr_path);
|
||||
result_data["stderr"] = serde_json::json!(stderr_preview);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Include parsed result if available
|
||||
if let Some(parsed_result) = &result.result {
|
||||
result_data["data"] = parsed_result.clone();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Updated Failure Handler
|
||||
|
||||
Modified `handle_execution_failure` to accept optional `ExecutionResult` for detailed error reporting:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
async fn handle_execution_failure(
|
||||
&self,
|
||||
execution_id: i64,
|
||||
result: Option<&ExecutionResult>,
|
||||
) -> Result<()>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now captures:
|
||||
- Exit code from failed execution
|
||||
- Error message
|
||||
- stdout/stderr previews and log paths
|
||||
- Execution duration
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Shell Action Code Execution
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed shell actions to actually execute the entrypoint code:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// For shell actions, the entrypoint IS the code to execute
|
||||
let code = if runtime_name.as_deref() == Some("shell") {
|
||||
Some(entry_point.clone())
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
None // Python and other runtimes may load code differently
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Parameter Extraction Enhancement
|
||||
|
||||
Updated parameter extraction to handle both nested and flat config structures:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
if let Some(params) = config.get("parameters") {
|
||||
// Extract from config.parameters
|
||||
} else if let JsonValue::Object(map) = config {
|
||||
// Treat entire config as parameters (handles rule action_params)
|
||||
for (key, value) in map {
|
||||
if key != "context" && key != "env" {
|
||||
parameters.insert(key.clone(), value.clone());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Shell Parameter Export
|
||||
|
||||
Enhanced shell wrapper to export parameters with and without prefix:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Export with PARAM_ prefix for consistency
|
||||
script.push_str(&format!("export PARAM_{}='{}'\n", key.to_uppercase(), value_str));
|
||||
|
||||
// Also export without prefix for easier shell script writing
|
||||
script.push_str(&format!("export {}='{}'\n", key, value_str));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This allows shell scripts to use both `$message` and `$PARAM_MESSAGE`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Artifact Manager Enhancement
|
||||
|
||||
Made `get_execution_dir()` public so executor can reference log file paths:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub fn get_execution_dir(&self, execution_id: i64) -> PathBuf {
|
||||
self.base_dir.join(format!("execution_{}", execution_id))
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Result Format
|
||||
|
||||
### Successful Execution
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"exit_code": 0,
|
||||
"succeeded": true,
|
||||
"duration_ms": 2,
|
||||
"stdout": "hello, world\n",
|
||||
"stdout_log": "/tmp/attune/artifacts/execution_362/stdout.log"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Failed Execution
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"exit_code": 1,
|
||||
"succeeded": false,
|
||||
"duration_ms": 5,
|
||||
"error": "Command exited with code 1",
|
||||
"stderr": "error: command not found\n",
|
||||
"stderr_log": "/tmp/attune/artifacts/execution_XYZ/stderr.log",
|
||||
"stdout": "some output before failure\n",
|
||||
"stdout_log": "/tmp/attune/artifacts/execution_XYZ/stdout.log"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Features
|
||||
- **Exit Code**: Actual process exit code (0 = success)
|
||||
- **Success Flag**: Boolean for quick status check
|
||||
- **Duration**: Execution time in milliseconds
|
||||

|
||||
- **Log Paths**: Full filesystem paths to complete logs
|
||||
- **Structured Data**: Parsed JSON result if available

"message": "hello, world"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"exit_code": 0,
|
||||
"succeeded": true,
|
||||
"duration_ms": 2,
|
||||
"stdout": "hello, world\n",
|
||||
"stdout_log": "/tmp/attune/artifacts/execution_362/stdout.log"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Log File Content:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ cat /tmp/attune/artifacts/execution_362/stdout.log
|
||||
hello, world
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **All Tests Passed**

|
||||
## Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Complete Audit Trail
|
||||
- Every execution now has full output captured
|
||||
- Log files preserved for debugging and compliance
|
||||
- Exit codes tracked for success/failure analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Better Debugging
|
||||
- Can view actual command output in database
|
||||
- Log file paths make it easy to access full logs
|
||||
- Error messages include stderr output
|
||||
- Duration helps identify performance issues
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. API Integration Ready
|
||||
- Structured result format easy to consume
|
||||
- Clients can fetch execution results with all details
|
||||
- Log file paths can be exposed via API endpoints
|
||||
- Success flag provides quick status check
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. User Experience
|
||||
- Shell scripts can use natural parameter syntax (`$message`)
|
||||
- No need to remember PARAM_ prefix
|
||||
- Parameters work as environment variables
|
||||
- Consistent with bash script conventions
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- **Minimal overhead**: ~2-3ms execution time unchanged
|
||||
- **Storage**: Log files only created when output exists
|
||||
- **Preview limit**: 1000 characters prevents database bloat
|
||||
- **Async I/O**: Log file operations don't block execution
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
### Potential Improvements
|
||||
1. **Log rotation**: Automatic cleanup of old execution logs
|
||||
2. **Compression**: Gzip large log files to save space
|
||||
3. **Streaming**: Stream large outputs instead of loading into memory
|
||||
4. **Artifacts API**: REST endpoints to fetch logs and results
|
||||
5. **Retention policy**: Configurable log retention periods
|
||||
6. **Result filtering**: Query executions by exit code, duration, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### API Endpoints (Future)
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /api/v1/executions/{id}/result
|
||||
GET /api/v1/executions/{id}/logs/stdout
|
||||
GET /api/v1/executions/{id}/logs/stderr
|
||||
GET /api/v1/executions/{id}/artifacts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Database Schema
|
||||
|
||||
No schema changes required - results stored in existing `execution.result` JSONB field:
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE TABLE attune.execution (
|
||||
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
|
||||
-- ... other fields ...
|
||||
result JSONB, -- Now contains comprehensive execution details
|
||||
-- ...
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
