Google Cloud Tasks

Official documentation here

Plugin for using Vendure worker with Google Cloud Tasks. This plugin will show ending, successful and failed jobs in the admin UI under sytem/jobs, but not running jobs. Only jobs of the past 7 days are kept in the DB.

Getting started

Plugin setup

2. Remove DefaultJobQueuePlugin from your vendure-config. Add this plugin to your vendure-config.ts:

2. Start the Vendure server, log in to the admin dashboard and trigger a reindex job via Products > (cog icon) > reindex to test the Cloud Tasks Plugin.

You can call the endpoint /cloud-tasks/clear-jobs/X with the secret as Auth header to clear jobs older than X days. For example:

Will clear all jobs older than 1 day.

DEADLINE_EXCEEDED errors when pushing tasks to queue

When pushing multiple tasks concurrently to a queue in serverless environments, you might see DEADLINE_EXCEEDED errors. If that happens, you can instantiate the plugin with fallback: true to make the Google Cloud Tasks client fallback to HTTP instead of GRPC. For more details see https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-tasks/issues/397#issuecomment-618580649

Request entity too large

This means the Job data is larger than NestJS's configured request limit. You can set a large limit in your vendure-config.ts:

We don't include this in the plugin, because it affects the entire NestJS instance
