[🐛 Bug]: S3 video upload constantly fails

[nandorpal]

What happened?

I created three selenium/video containers, one for firefox, one for edge, and one for chrome.
After running some tests, randomly seemingly the video upload gets stuck and it only saves the videos in the docker container's video folder, instead of uploading it to an s3 bucket.

Command used to start Selenium Grid with Docker (or Kubernetes)

With removing secrets info if any, I want to see all ENV var that you provided in .env that mounted to the container

@VietND96 thanks for the quick reply!
Here's my env file with secrets removed:

@VietND96 any update on this one? Thanks in advance

[nandorpal]

I updated the docker images to the newer ffmpeg-7.0.1-20240812 version and it seems to be running as expected

[VietND96]

Thank you for your feedback! It was probably an issue with the env var missing the default value set. Few implementations come in between fixing it. Soon, I will add a test to the CI workflow to guard against regression issue and also using for reference.

[nandorpal]

@VietND96 unfortunately the issue still persists, after a couple of uploads I got the Waiting for /tmp/uploadpipe to be created again. I'll try to figure out what's the root cause of the issue. Thanks for your help.

[nandorpal]

I think I found the issue. There's an issue with the uploadpipe in the upload.sh file, it seems like the named pipe file might not always be detected as expected.
I created some tests and so far the results are promising

[VietND96]

Thank you for your contribution. The fix will be included in next deployment!
