Related issue: Resolves #50153

When one package in a batch software upload fails, the whole batch fails, but softwareBatchUpload kept processing and downloading every remaining package. The errgroup is now created with errgroup.WithContext, and each payload goroutine returns early once the context is cancelled. Because the group limit is 1 and errgroup cancels the context before releasing the slot, no payload after a failure is processed.

Checklist for submitter

  • Changes file added for user-visible changes in changes/, orbit/changes/ or ee/fleetd-chrome/changes.
    See Changes files for more information.

  • Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite loops

Testing

  • Added/updated automated tests

TestBatchSetSoftwareInstallersStopsAfterFirstFailure sends three payloads where the first fails, and asserts only one is processed. It fails on main (3 processed) and passes with this change.

  • QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • GitOps batch software uploads stop downloading and processing queued packages after the first package fails.
    • Packages already in progress are allowed to finish; they are not interrupted by the failure.
    • Failed batches continue to report a failure status. This avoids unnecessary downloads while preserving the behavior of work already underway and keeping the batch outcome visible.

Walkthrough

softwareBatchUpload now derives a context from the error group and checks it before processing each payload. After a payload fails, queued payloads are skipped while active work continues. A test verifies that only the first installer is requested and that the batch records a failure status. A changelog entry documents the fix.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5d00e

The batch stops requesting later installers after a download failure and records the failed status. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 44b56

The change limits work after a failed package and preserves the existing authorization and batch-result behavior. No introduced security issue was identified, but the available evidence does not establish complete security coverage.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The observed effect is confined to whether later payloads in an already-authorized batch begin processing after a failure; the change does not establish a new caller or privilege transition.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The service retains its authorization and payload-validation checks before the asynchronous launch; cancellation is checked after that boundary, inside each payload worker.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Stopping queued work after an error limits further downloads in the failed batch without moving its later commit boundary; the focused test covers this failure path in dry-run mode, not every storage failure.

3204-3240: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise the package-download failure path.

GetTeamsWithInstallerByHash returns "boom" before the closure reaches retryDownload. The assertion therefore covers only an installer lookup failure. It does not detect later package downloads after the first package download fails.

Return nil, nil from the lookup mock. Use an httptest server that returns HTTP 500 for all three package URLs. Count requests per path and assert that only the first path receives requests. Set AlwaysDownload: true to bypass conditional lookup.

@jkatz01 , could you take a look at this fix for #50153 when you have a chance? I'd appreciate your feedback.

// cancelled before the next goroutine starts; in-flight work isn't
// interrupted if the limit is raised.
if gctx.Err() != nil {
return nil

I think this should return the error:

if err := gctx.Err(); err != nil {                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
   return err

Updated in 52f74a7 to return the context error as suggested. TestBatchSetSoftwareInstallersStopsAfterFirstFailure passes: the first download fails, later packages are not requested, and the batch reports failure.
