fix(worker): reindex repos with missing zoekt shards - #1621
Conversation
If INDEX_CACHE_DIR is wiped independently of the DB (e.g. placed on ephemeral storage in Kubernetes), repos stay marked as indexed while their shard files are gone, and search silently returns nothing until the next scheduled reindex. On startup, scan the index directory and re-queue any repo the DB believes is indexed but has no shard file on disk, reusing the existing repo-index workload and its per-repo execution lock.
WalkthroughThe backend checks indexed repositories for missing Zoekt shard files during startup. It schedules affected repositories for reindexing and continues processing after individual enqueue failures. Tests cover shard detection, repository eligibility, and error handling. ChangesMissing shard recovery

- Around line 245-246: Update the repo cleanup flow around INDEX_CACHE_DIR so a
missing directory is treated as an empty shard set rather than returning early.
Continue to the database query with an empty entry list, allowing eligible
indexed repositories to queue recovery jobs, and update the no-directory
regression test to expect recovery.
- Line 257: Update the shard-entry handling around getRepoIdFromShardFileName to
require the filename’s .zoekt extension before accepting its repository ID;
ignore valid-looking non-shard names such as 1_42_backup, and add a regression
test covering that case.

Investigated this before making a change — partial shard loss isn't reliably detectable with the information available today, so this PR intentionally doesn't attempt it, rather than add a heuristic.
- Zoekt decides shard count per repo dynamically at index time, based on corpus size (
ShardMax/-shard_limit, default 100MB — seevendor/zoekt/index/builder.go). It isn't a fixed, known-in-advance property of a repo. - Nothing persists an "expected shard count" anywhere: no DB column on
Repo, no field in the.metasidecar, and Zoekt itself doesn't track it either (its own shard loader just globs whatever files exist on disk at query time). - So a presence-only check has no ground truth to compare against — "healthy 2-shard repo" and "was 3, lost 1" look identical from what's actually available at startup. Detecting this reliably would mean persisting an expected shard count at successful index completion and comparing it at startup — a real schema/behavior change, not a fix to this detection loop.
- The issue this PR closes ([bug/rfe] Rebuild or mark repos stale when zoekt shard files are missing but DB marks repos indexed #1210) is specifically scoped to total index-directory loss (INDEX_CACHE_DIR wiped), which is what's implemented and tested here.
Updated the PR description to explicitly scope the multi-shard regression test as the healthy case and call out partial-shard-loss as a separate, out-of-scope follow-up, so it isn't read as covered.

Two gaps in the missing-shard reconciliation added for sourcebot-dev#1210: - A missing INDEX_CACHE_DIR caused an early return, skipping recovery entirely for the exact scenario the check exists to handle (the whole index directory gone). Now treated as zero shards on disk instead. - Shard detection accepted any numeric-prefixed filename, so the .meta sidecar zoekt writes alongside every shard, or an unrelated file, could make a repo look healthy with no searchable index. Now requires the real .zoekt suffix.
Missing-shard recovery ran before configManager.syncConfig(), so it could evaluate repo eligibility against connections about to be removed by this startup's config sync, wasting a reindex enqueue on a repo that's about to be orphaned. Moved it after syncConfig(), which handles connection removal synchronously, and still before reconcileJobSchedulers()/jobManager.start().
…ng-zoekt-shards # Conflicts: # CHANGELOG.md
…ndexReposWithMissingShards readdir(INDEX_CACHE_DIR) and db.repo.findMany() ran unprotected, contradicting the function's own comment that a failure here "can't take down startup" - an unhandled rejection there would crash the process before jobManager.start() or reconcileJobSchedulers() ever run. Wrap the detection phase in a single try/catch that logs and returns early, leaving missed repos to recover on their next scheduled reindex. The per-repo trigger loop's existing isolation is untouched. Adds 3 tests: no-op with zero indexed repos, and the two new failure paths resolving without throwing.

Vitest expect resolves toThrow matcher resolved value official documentation
💡 Result:
In Vitest, the toThrow matcher is used to assert that a function throws an error when called [1]. The recommended way to use this matcher with asynchronous code is to pair it with the rejects modifier [1][2]. Using.rejects.toThrow When testing asynchronous functions, you should use.rejects to unwrap the promise and then apply the toThrow matcher [1][2]. Vitest allows you to pass a function that returns a promise to the expect call when using.rejects [3][4]. Example: await expect( => getAsyncFruitStock).rejects.toThrow('empty'); Relationship with.resolves The.resolves modifier is intended for asserting on the resolved value of a promise [2]. Because toThrow is specifically designed to catch errors, it is generally paired with.rejects [1]. While some recent updates and discussions have explored allowing function thunks in.resolves for symmetry with.rejects [3],.resolves expects a Promise as its input [3][4]. If you attempt to use.resolves with a function instead of a promise, you may encounter an error stating that the received value must be a promise [3][4]. Key Points: - Synchronous: Use expect( => function).toThrow [1]. - Asynchronous: Use await expect(promise).rejects.toThrow or await expect( => promiseFunction).rejects.toThrow [1][3]. - Always use await: Ensure you await your expect call when testing promises [2].

Use a resolution matcher for these async calls.
reindexReposWithMissingShards catches the mocked errors and returns undefined. After .resolves, Vitest applies toThrow to that value, but toThrow requires a callable. Replace both assertions with resolves.toBeUndefined() or await the call directly.

Summary
Fixes#1210
Note: a few earlier community PRs attempted this against the old
repoIndexManager.ts, which has since been replaced by the BullMQ workload system (repoIndexWorkload.ts,repoCleanupWorkload.ts,jobManager.ts). This targets the current architecture and reuses its existing queue/lock conventions.Out of scope: partial shard loss
This PR detects and recovers total shard loss for a repo (zero shard files where the DB expects some) — the exact failure mode in #1210. It does not detect partial shard loss (a multi-shard repo losing some, but not all, of its shard files), since that isn't reliably determinable today: Zoekt decides shard count per repo dynamically at index time based on corpus size (
-shard_limit, seevendor/zoekt/index/builder.go), and nothing persists an "expected shard count" anywhere — not in the DB, not in the.metasidecar, not in Zoekt itself. A presence-only check has no ground truth to distinguish a healthy N-shard repo from one that used to have N+1. Building that would require a separate schema change (persist expected shard count at successful index completion, compare at startup), which is out of scope here.Testing
yarn workspace @sourcebot/backend testyarn workspace @sourcebot/backend buildNote
Medium Risk
Changes worker startup ordering and can enqueue many index jobs after index-cache loss; failures are contained but recovery timing affects search availability until reindex completes.
Overview
Fixes silent empty search results when the index cache is wiped but the database still marks repos as indexed (e.g. ephemeral
INDEX_CACHE_DIR).On worker startup,
reindexReposWithMissingShardsscans the index directory for real*.zoektshards (ignoring.tmp,.meta, and other junk), compares that to DB repos withindexedAtset and still tied to a connection or pinned against auto-cleanup, and enqueuesrepo-indexjobs at scheduled priority for any mismatch. It runs aftersyncConfigand beforejobManager.start()so repos about to be orphaned are not re-queued. Detection and per-repo enqueue failures are logged and swallowed so startup does not crash before uncaught-exception handlers are installed.Regression tests cover shard heuristics, multi-shard repos, partial failures when enqueueing, and the changelog documents the fix.
