possible bug

Type:

error message without any noticeable error

Severity:

very low

Description:

I ran ipfs shutdown on the daemon, which had been started with --writable, and received the following error message (in the second terminal, not in the daemon's terminal).

Error: Post http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v0/shutdown?encoding=json&stream-channels=true: EOF

Daemon shutdown worked nonetheless.

This same issue is causing random test failures in CI. Lets figure it out asap

[sherodtaylor]

Still getting this issue. #4123

@whyrusleeping Is this still an ongoing problem? I'm having trouble reproducing the error.

[Stebalien]

I haven't seen it for a while but I don't know of anything we might have done to fix it (maybe updating the commands lib?).

[Kubuxu]

@schomatis it was rare, usually daemon takes a sweet time to shut down and this happens only if it shuts down too fast. You can try running ipfs daemon --offline so it shuts down faster.

[Stebalien]

It's still happening.

[schomatis]

I'll take a look using @Kubuxu's advice.

[schomatis]

I can't reproduce it. I've tried with combinations of the --offline and --writable flags, with a heavy add load to the daemon and without. @Stebalien in what conditions did you see it happening again?

[Stebalien]

I just saw it on a random test on Jenkins. Unfortunately, I can't recall which test.

[Kubuxu]

It happens quite frequently on Jenkins.
