[Bug]: Task stuck in processing state

Open puehres opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

crawl4ai version

v0.5.x

Expected Behavior

I am looping over 140 webpages that I want to crawl. That works fine for the first couple or so.

Current Behavior

At random pages independent of the content of that page a task gets created. It then gets indefinitely stuck in processing state. I can call the GET endpoint to check status. For every other page I then crawl a new task is created and is in a queue state. There is no way for me to either 1) kill that one task nor 2) to figure out why it is stuck.

Is this reproducible?

Yes

Inputs Causing the Bug

I could reproduce the bug by continuously crawling through a list of URLs. At random points (iteration 30-70) this behavior appears. 
If i call the same webpages where this stuck task behavior appears individually one-off they work.
