I am reaching out to seek your assistance with an issue I am experiencing with the retry mechanism for my custom code action in HubSpot workflows. Despite following the documented guidelines for raising exceptions to trigger retries, it appears that the retry mechanism is not being activated as expected.
Here are the details of my current implementation:
- API Key Initialization: I am initializing the HubSpot client using an API key retrieved from environment variables.
- Simulated API Call: I am making a simulated API request to https://example.com/test-endpoint to test the retry mechanism.
- Exception Handling: I am raising exceptions for HTTP errors and request-related issues to signal HubSpot to retry the action.
Below is the core part of my code:
import requests
import os
from hubspot import HubSpot
from requests.exceptions import HTTPError
def main(event):
api_key = os.getenv('api_key')
if not api_key:
raise ValueError("api_key is missing in environment variables")
hubspot = HubSpot(access_token=api_key)
print(hubspot)
url = "https://example.com/test-endpoint"
try:
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status()
return {
"outputFields": {
"message": "Request was successful."
}
}
except HTTPError as e:
print(f"HTTP error occurred and will trigger retry: {e}")
raise
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Request error occurred: {e}")
raise
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
raise
Despite the exceptions being raised correctly, the retry mechanism does not seem to be engaged by HubSpot. I am seeing error messages such as:
HTTP error occurred and will trigger retry: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://example.com/test-endpoint
LAMBDA_WARNING: Unhandled exception.
provide guidance on what might be missing or incorrectly configured to ensure the retry mechanism works as intended?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
