missing job name in job stats

Error message

missing job name in job stats

What it means

job.Stats.Validate (src/jobservice/job/models.go:126) requires Info.JobName to be non-empty; the name maps a running execution back to its registered job implementation. Note: the identical message is reused a few lines later for an empty JobKind (a Harbor copy-paste), so the message alone does not prove which field is missing.

Solutions

1. Populate JobName with the registered job name when creating stats
2. If JobName is present, check Info.JobKind — the same error text covers it
3. Inspect the raw JSON payload to see which field is actually absent

Example fix

// before
Info: &job.StatsInfo{JobID: "ju-1234"}
// after
Info: &job.StatsInfo{
    JobID:   "ju-1234",
    JobName: "GARBAGE_COLLECTION",
    JobKind: job.KindGeneric,
}

if err := st.Validate(); err != nil {
    return err // rejects empty JobName AND empty JobKind with the same text
}

func hasStatsJobName(st *job.Stats) bool {
    return st != nil && st.Info != nil && strings.TrimSpace(st.Info.JobName) != "" && strings.TrimSpace(st.Info.JobKind) != ""
}

When it happens

Trigger: Stats written with Info.JobName empty; deserializing a payload whose info.job_name is missing. If JobName is actually set, the same text fires for an empty info.job_kind instead.

Common situations: Producers copying stats structs without the name; refactored serializers renaming 'job_name'; fixtures trimmed for tests.
