[Feature Request] supervisord.running state should check for retcode

[Oloremo]

Description of Issue/Question

Look like supervisord.running state is not checking the return codes of the supervisordctl.
It's probably ok since the current (3.x) version of the supervisord is always returning the 0 exit code. But the version from master (future 4.x) already has Supervisor/supervisor#668 merged which adds the correct exit codes and we use supervisord with this patch to enforce the exit codes.

Not sure what is the Salt policy for such situations.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

some_name:
  supervisord.running:
    - name: non-existent

The example above will always be successful and will always try to apply state on each run.

@Oloremo Thanks for the report. we should definitely account for the retcode is supervisord is going to start returning them in future versions. Marking this as a feature request for a future feature addition. Thanks!

[redbaron4]

@garethgreenaway We are running Salt-2019.2.0 and supervisor 4.0.4. Since supervisor returns non-zero exit codes for supervisorctl status, it breaks salt states that depend on return of a 0 code for successful execution. Maybe as a short-term fix, the return code can be discarded in salt's supervisor module. There is a discussion about this feature in the supervisor issues page too here

[Oloremo]

we're using this local patch to workaround this:

But a proper fix would be appreciated.

@Oloremo A smaller patch can be to pass success_returncodes=range(256) to all cmd.run_all calls in the module.

[Oloremo]

Well, I want to catch errors. :-) It's not about avoiding the error states it's about to handle it properly.

Supervisord 4.x released long time ago with the support of proper exit codes yet for Salt it's still always 0.

Thank you for updating this issue. It is no longer marked as stale.
