Schedules and `max_failures` attribute

Question

Can't get the max_failures idea. From the documentation:

This attribute specifies the number of times a job can fail on consecutive scheduled runs before it is automatically disabled.

So, let's suppose I have a schedule. Its running count is 100. Its failure count is 18. Its max failures is 20.

Current run has finished successfully.

I expect: if I will break it - it will run exactly 20 times on state FAILED after which it will be changed to BROKEN

What I get: it runs 2 times so failure count is 20 and despite the fact it were just 2 consecutive runs the schedule is changed to state BROKEN.

What have I missed?

Answer 1

I think "consecutive scheduled runs" means exactly that. If it succeeds, the failure count should be reset to 0.

EDIT

Guess I was wrong, sorry.

As per Gary's comment - looks like you need to reset the failure count manually.
