Silent error? The output returned by this child process is too large

👋 Hello there,

We're parallelizing long-running tasks with the help of spatie/async and everything is going smoothly.

• Parallelization of long-running commands chesslablab/chess-server#382

However, src/Command/Data/AnnotationsGameAsyncTask.php seems to be failing silently when the output sent to the browser is a few kilobytes (KB) in size.

<?php

// src/Command/Data/AnnotationsGameAsyncTask.php

namespace ChessServer\Command\Data;

use ChessServer\Socket\AbstractSocket;
use Spatie\Async\Task;

class AnnotationsGameAsyncTask extends Task
{
    const ANNOTATIONS_GAMES_FILE = 'annotations_games.json';

    public function configure()
    {
    }

    public function run()
    {
        $contents = file_get_contents(AbstractSocket::DATA_FOLDER.'/'.self::ANNOTATIONS_GAMES_FILE);

        return json_decode($contents);
    }
}

The annotations_games.json file was recently resized for the command to work properly. See chesslablab/chess-server@4e66dd9

<?php

// src/Command/Data/AnnotationsGameCommand.php

namespace ChessServer\Command\Data;

use ChessServer\Command\AbstractCommand;
use ChessServer\Socket\AbstractSocket;

class AnnotationsGameCommand extends AbstractCommand
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->name = '/annotations_game';
        $this->description = 'Annotated chess games.';
    }

    public function validate(array $argv)
    {
        return count($argv) - 1 === 0;
    }

    public function run(AbstractSocket $socket, array $argv, int $id)
    {
        $this->pool->add(new AnnotationsGameAsyncTask(), 128000)
            ->then(function ($result) use ($socket, $id) {
                return $socket->getClientStorage()->send([$id], [
                    $this->name => $result,
                ]);
            });
    }
}

Now I'm wondering if the pool could be set up for this command to download files of several dozen kilobytes, let's say 64 KB.

🙏 Thanks for the help, and keep up the great work!
