error rejecting result: %v

Error message

error rejecting result: %v

What it means

Each goroutine in RejectAllResults calls RejectPlanFile(orgId, planId, resultId, now) to reject one pending result. If that call returns an error, it is wrapped with this message and sent to errCh. It means a single result file failed to be rejected; the parent surfaces it as 'error rejecting plan'.

Solutions

1. Read the wrapped cause to see which sub-step of RejectPlanFile failed
2. Re-run RejectAllResults — transient/concurrent cases often succeed on retry
3. Validate/repair the specific <resultId>.json content (truncated/corrupt files may need removal)
4. Ensure only one process mutates the plan's results directory at a time (locking or leader election)

Example fix

// before
err := RejectPlanFile(orgId, planId, resultId, now)
if err != nil {
    errCh <- fmt.Errorf("error rejecting result: %v", err)
    return
}
// after: tolerate already-deleted files
err := RejectPlanFile(orgId, planId, resultId, now)
if err != nil {
    if os.IsNotExist(err) {
        errCh <- nil
        return
    }
    errCh <- fmt.Errorf("error rejecting result %s: %v", resultId, err)
    return
}

resultPath := filepath.Join(resultsDir, resultId+".json")
if _, err := os.Stat(resultPath); os.IsNotExist(err) {
    return nil // already gone; nothing to reject
}

err := RejectPlanFile(orgId, planId, resultId, now)
if err != nil {
    if os.IsNotExist(err) {
        errCh <- nil
        return
    }
    errCh <- fmt.Errorf("error rejecting result %s: %v", resultId, err)
    return
}

When it happens

Trigger: RejectPlanFile fails for one resultId — the result file disappeared between ReadDir and read, JSON unmarshal fails on corrupt content, a write/rename inside RejectPlanFile hits permissions or disk-full, or a sub-call rejects invalid state.

Common situations: Result file deleted concurrently by another cleanup job; truncated JSON from an earlier crashed write; read-only mount; two instances of the app processing the same plan simultaneously.
