we’re using the showslow beacon output on our private instance to get a notification on test completition. This works fine with standard agents, but does not work if a wpt relay is in between wpt and agent.
I do not get any showslow output on wpt itself or on the relay.
normally the relay does not send a beacon, since it it’s only a relay. Due to the fact that the instance is pulling results from the relay and deleting results afterwards (by calling testStatus/download/delete) the mechanism which is sending the beacon (in workdone) is bypassed. It can be enabled in workdone.php though, since the code checks for a dot inside the test id, which is true for a relay.
FWIW, this is fixed in the next release. The beacon is moved to a background post-process that is don to tests and the post-processing is now called on the local server when a relayed test has completed and been downloaded.
Hopefully I’ll have the next release out in a couple of weeks - just cleaning up a few rough edges and finishing the Appurify integration.
