Bug ID: 59678
Summary: Implement badtoken detection and recovery
Product: Pywikibot
Version: core (2.0)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: maarten(a)mdammers.nl
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Every once in a while I get a badtoken exception. This is probably because I
have multiple bots running on the same site at the same time (race condition).
* Bot A requests token -> 123
* Bot B requests token -> 123
* Bot A edits with token 123 -> ok
* Bot B edits with token 123 -> poof
We could of course implement very difficult synchronization, but it doesn't
happen very often so it's probably better handle it like a collision in
ethernet.
* Detect the badtoken
* Back off for a random number of seconds
* Get a new token
* Do the edit
Max tries should be respected so the bot can't get into a infinite retry loop.
