Internal Error - Deadlock detected (@1)

[mkhtran]

What is the cause of this error?

Internal error: Failed to read port assignment
Internal Error - Deadlock detected (@1)

This error seemingly cropped up today with no changes to my custom tool, and nothing I've tried has gotten rid of it.

• Designer 2023.1.1.247
• Python v3.8.10
• ayx_plugin_cli v1.1.0
• ayx_python_sdk v2.2.0

This is currently affecting all of my custom tools, including one that does nothing but pass data through

class MyPlugin(PluginV2):
    def __init__(self, provider: AMPProviderV2):
        self.name = "My Plugin"
        self.provider = provider

    def on_record_batch(self, batch: pa.Table, anchor: Anchor) -> None:
        self.provider.write_to_anchor("Output", batch)

    def on_incoming_connection_complete(self, anchor: Anchor) -> None:
        pass

    def on_complete(self) -> None:
        pass

I'm building the tool with

rd /s /q "ui\PlaceholderToolName" & echo y | ayx_plugin_cli designer-install --use-ui --install-type user

I've tried

• Deleting .ayx_cli.cache, build, ui\PlaceholderToolName, and main.pyx
• Deleting C:\Users\username\.shiv
• Deleting %APPDATA%\Alteryx\Tools\toolname and C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\Tools\toolname
• Installing as both user and admin
• Creating a brand new tool with `ayx_plugin_cli create-ayx-plugin --use-ui` and copying over the code
• Restarting Designer and my computer
• Uninstalling all version of Python, deleting AppData\Local\Programs, reinstalling Python 3.8.10 and ayx-plugin-cli and ayx-python-sdk

I don't have much to add to this other than I'm also experiencing it on a custom built tool. Alteryx version 2023.1.1.247 patch 2

Can you try running the tool using Designer's PED? The path should be something like: "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Python\python-3.8.16-embed-amd64\python.exe"  - try opening powershell in the %APPDATA%\Tools\toolname directory, and run "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Python\python-3.8.16-embed-amd64\python.exe main.pyz start-sdk-tool-service ayx_plugins <tool name>" - that SHOULD hopefully raise a usable error

[mkhtran]

The `Alteryx\bin\Python` folder doesn't contain v3.8.16, but it contains v3.8.5. Running the following command does not result in errors

PS C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Alteryx\Tools\MyPlugin_1_0> C:\Program` Files\Alteryx\bin\Python\python-3.8.5-embed-amd64\python.exe main.pyz start-sdk-tool-service ayx_plugins MyPlugin
INFO: Starting MyPlugin tool with AMP Provider.
ListenPort: 53182

Strangely, the error in Designer seems to have gone away after trying this...

[aneeshnazar]

Interesting - maybe the backend was unzipped improperly? Though I'm not sure why that would happen

Hi community,

I have the same issue when I am trying to connect Alteryx Designer with Google Analytics API via  Alteryx Google Analytics 4 Input (tool). Google Analytics (tool) has stopped returning data after a point in time so I want to manage this connectivity because we cannot access the data and obviously feed our reports.

I attach a screenshot:

I have managed to authorize the user (me) and connect to the google account but when I run the workflow I get this error like the one mentioned (deadlock detected) and one more internal error: failed to read port assignment.

The Alteryx Designer version is: Version: 2022.3.1.486 Patch: 3

Can anyone please help?

Thank you.

Thanks for the advice, I have something useful:

A quick google with the more general deadlock error does seem to show it's fairly widespread and always seems to reference tools build with the SDK such as Google Analytics and Sharepoint

[mkhtran]

This error has cropped up much more often when attempting to migrate to ayx-plugin-cli 1.1.1 and ayx-python-sdk 2.3.0. I've reverted back to the older versions of 1.1.0 and 2.2.0 until there is a good reason to upgrade.

[elsastark]

@mkhtran We are experiencing this same issue when using the new Google Analytics 1.0.1 connector built by Alteryx. Have you found a workaround other than reverting to older versions? 

[mkhtran]

Hoping Alteryx can provide some more insight as to what this error is.
