Troubleshooting Gofer

This page provides various tips on how to troubleshoot and find issues/errors within Gofer.

Debugging triggers

Triggers are simply long running docker containers that internally wait for an event to happen and then communicate with Gofer through a long GRPC poll on what should be the result of that event.

Debugging Common Tasks

Common Tasks are pre-setup containers that run at a user's request. Errors in common tasks should show up as errors for your pipeline as normal.

To aid in debugging common tasks in general, there is a debug common task available. It simply prints out all environment variables found and takes some straight-forward parameters and configurations.

Debugging Custom Tasks

When custom tasks aren't working quite right, it helps to have some simple tasks that you can use to debug. Gofer provides a few of these to aid in debugging.
