#40 sr_sarra some files not deleted?

[psilva]

In a certain configuration, sr_watch is posting thousands of files per hour. sr_sarra is reading them and using sftp to retrieve them. sr_sarra has the 'delete' option on to delete files at source after the transfer is done. In almost all cases, this works, but it looks like a dozen or so files per hour remain in this stream.

Confirming that sr_sarra fails to delete a file that was posted by sr_watch.

error log from sarra (removing some local info)
sr_sarra_get_....log:2016-06-08 15:41:49,255 [ERROR] Download failed sftp://login@server//file Type: <class 'attributeerror'="">, Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'chdir'</class>

This definitely still happens, looking in sr_sarra log, it says it's deleting the file, but the file remains, happenning on cmo-dsr for RADAR META and GIF data. Sarra still grabs and publishes the file correctly, but sometimes it doesn't succeed in deleting the file.

[psilva]

the current example is with sr_poll, not sr_watch. So likely this problem is with sarra, not poll or watch.

[psilva]

not causing major problems, intend to put a cron to delete the files once they get old enough.
