Plan: Add automatic retry (3 times) when unzip fails

  • Understand the current unzip implementation in scripts/fetch-data.ts
  • Create a retry wrapper function for the unzip operation
  • Update the extractModulePropsFromZip function to use the retry mechanism
  • Test the implementation to ensure retries work correctly
  • Fix issue where empty content didn't trigger retries
  • Improve error messages and whitespace handling
  • Add exponential backoff delays between retry attempts
  • Verify no regressions in the build process

Changes Made

Modified extractModulePropsFromZip function in scripts/fetch-data.ts to:

  • Add retry logic with up to 3 attempts
  • Log warnings for retry attempts with attempt number
  • Log errors after final failure
  • Return empty props only after all retries are exhausted
  • Fixed: Now properly treats empty content from runzip as a failure that should be retried
  • Improved: Better error messages including the download URL
  • Improved: Handles whitespace-only content as invalid
  • Added: Exponential backoff delays (1s after attempt 1, 2s after attempt 2) between retries

Retry Behavior

The retry mechanism includes exponential backoff delays between attempts:

  • Attempt 1 fails → wait 1 second → Attempt 2
  • Attempt 2 fails → wait 2 seconds → Attempt 3
  • Attempt 3 fails → log final error

Benefits:

  • Makes retry attempts clearly visible in logs with time separation
  • Gives transient network/resource issues time to resolve
  • Reduces system load during high concurrency operations (100 concurrent downloads)

Bug Fix

The initial implementation had a bug where empty content returned from runzip was treated as a success and returned immediately without retrying. This has been fixed by throwing an error when empty content is detected, which triggers the retry logic.

Before: Empty content → return immediately (no retry)
After: Empty content → throw error → retry 3 times with delays

Testing & Validation

  • ✅ Tested retry mechanism with invalid URLs - confirmed 3 retry attempts
  • ✅ Tested retry mechanism with empty content - confirmed 3 retry attempts
  • ✅ Tested delays between retries - confirmed 1s and 2s delays (~3s total)
  • ✅ TypeScript compilation successful
  • ✅ Code review completed - all suggestions implemented
  • ✅ Security scan passed
  • ✅ Maintains backward compatibility - same return behavior on failure

Fixed in commit 8652bfd. The issue was that empty content from runzip was being treated as a success instead of triggering a retry. Now empty or whitespace-only content throws an error that triggers the retry logic, so you should see retry messages in the logs.

Yes, all 3 retries are now happening. Fixed in commit 67ca240 by adding exponential backoff delays (1s, 2s) between retry attempts. This makes the retry behavior more visible in logs - you'll now see:

  • Attempt 1 fails → waits 1s → Attempt 2
  • Attempt 2 fails → waits 2s → Attempt 3
  • Attempt 3 fails → logs final error

The delays also help handle transient network/resource issues during high concurrency operations.
