`server.jobs.wait_for_job` fails for ID generated by `create_extract`

[eschranz]

Describe the bug The job ID generated when creating an extract via TSC is not queryable by the server.jobs.wait_for_job method.

Versions Details of your environment, including:

• Tableau Server version 3.10
• Python 3.8.12
• tableauserverclient==0.19.0

To Reproduce

refresh_job = server.datasources.create_extract(datasource_item)
job_status = server.jobs.wait_for_job(refresh_job.id)

# Also
server.jobs.get_by_id(refresh_job.id)

Results

400031: Bad Request
    There was a problem querying job '{refresh_job.id}'.

Solution

from tableauserverclient.exponential_backoff import ExponentialBackoffTimer

refresh_job = server.datasources.create_extract(datasource_item)
backoff_timer = ExponentialBackoffTimer()

job = list(j for j in tsc.Pager(server.jobs) if j.id == refresh_job.id)[0]     
while job.ended_at is None:
    backoff_timer.sleep()
    print(f"{refresh_job.id} still running")
    job = list(j for j in tsc.Pager(server.jobs) if j.id == refresh_job.id)[0]

Thanks for posting this - it looks like it needs a server-side fix, but I can add your workaround in the client for now.
