A job that fails with a serialization failure, deadlock or lock timeout is retried only if the error reaches the runner as an OperationalError. When some code wraps it in another exception (Odoo does it in auth_signup, for example), the job fails and is never retried.
The runner now looks for the concurrency error in the exception chain before deciding. Errors raised by the job itself and any other error behave as before.

Example of job failed with this kind of error and not retried:

Hi @sbidoul, @guewen,
some modules you are maintaining are being modified, check this out!

Isn't this the same issue of #1009 ?

Isn't this the same issue of #1009 ?

Hello @simahawk
Not exactly. Here, AI explanation that helped me to understand:

As I understand it: #1009 is about errors that reach the runner as a plain OperationalError: they are retried, but max_retries is never applied. Here the error is wrapped in another exception (example: SignupError in auth_signup), so it is never retried at all.
