last_run_times causes process to hang

[phokur]

Running on debain

Whenever last_run_times exists in the directory the command runs from, the program will hang at reading the logs.

Ctrl-C gives the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "AuditLogCollector.py", line 93, in receive_results_from_rust_engine
ValueError: No logs ready

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Could you post your config file so I can try to reproduce this? I'll get back to you asap.

In the meantime you could try running without 'resume' but with 'skipKnownContent' as a workaround; that way you wouldn't run into the crash but also avoid duplicates.

I have not heard back so I will close this issue. If you need further assistance let me know. As I've mentioned, setting 'resume' to false in the config and 'skipKnownLogs' to true should fix the issue.

I've released a new version in which 'resume' is deprecated and produces a warning in the log file, so people can avoid this issue in the future.
