Faulty ephemeral uploads staying seemingly forever

[tahirazim]

Uploaded ephemeral meshes, for which the upload process does not complete successfully, seem to stay in my pending upload queue forever. See, for example, the list of pending uploads under my account on singular.stanford.edu. The process did not complete for these meshes because of the bug in sirikata, where a "Content-Length" header in the response was deemed an error condition.

Is the status "PENDING" and there's no button to remove it?

[tahirazim]

I don't see a button to remove them, neither next to their names on the pending list, nor when I click on them. Maybe I'm not looking at the right place?

How many are there? This can happen if the task to process the upload gets fired to celery, but then it never successfully completes. I think this happened briefly when you were uploading to the Princeton side and the celery worker was broken?

[tahirazim]

There are 9 of them.

Okay, right now there's no good mechanism for getting rid of them. I guess the right thing to do would be to have a celerybeat task running that checks for tasks that are still pending but are not running or queued and then re-fires the task off to celery.
