Construct an instance of CloudTasksClient.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description

The configuration object. See the subsequent parameters for more details.

Properties

Name Type Attributes Description

credentials

object

Credentials object.

Properties

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`client_email`	string	<optional>
`private_key`	string	<optional>

email

string

Account email address. Required when using a .pem or .p12 keyFilename.

keyFilename

string

Full path to the a .json, .pem, or .p12 key downloaded from the Google Developers Console. If you provide a path to a JSON file, the projectId option below is not necessary. NOTE: .pem and .p12 require you to specify options.email as well.

port

number

The port on which to connect to the remote host.

projectId

string

The project ID from the Google Developer's Console, e.g. 'grape-spaceship-123'. We will also check the environment variable GCLOUD_PROJECT for your project ID. If your app is running in an environment which supports Application Default Credentials, your project ID will be detected automatically.

apiEndpoint

string

The domain name of the API remote host.

Members

(static) apiEndpoint

The DNS address for this API service - same as servicePath(), exists for compatibility reasons.

(static) port

The port for this API service.

(static) scopes

The scopes needed to make gRPC calls for every method defined in this service.

(static) servicePath

The DNS address for this API service.

Methods

close()

Terminate the GRPC channel and close the client.

The client will no longer be usable and all future behavior is undefined.

createQueue(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}

Creates a queue.

Queues created with this method allow tasks to live for a maximum of 31 days. After a task is 31 days old, the task will be deleted regardless of whether it was dispatched or not.

WARNING: Using this method may have unintended side effects if you are using an App Engine queue.yaml or queue.xml file to manage your queues. Read Overview of Queue Management and queue.yaml before using this method.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description

request

Object

The request object that will be sent.

Properties

Name Type Description

parent

string

Required. The location name in which the queue will be created. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID

The list of allowed locations can be obtained by calling Cloud Tasks' implementation of ListLocations.

queue

google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.Queue

Required. The queue to create.

Queue's name cannot be the same as an existing queue.

options

object

Call options. See CallOptions for more details.

createTask(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}

Creates a task and adds it to a queue.

Tasks cannot be updated after creation; there is no UpdateTask command.

The maximum task size is 100KB.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description

request

Object

The request object that will be sent.

Properties

Name Type Description

parent

string

Required. The queue name. For example: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID

The queue must already exist.

task

google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.Task

Required. The task to add.

Task names have the following format: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/queues/QUEUE_ID/tasks/TASK_ID. The user can optionally specify a task name. If a name is not specified then the system will generate a random unique task id, which will be set in the task returned in the response.

If schedule_time is not set or is in the past then Cloud Tasks will set it to the current time.

Task De-duplication:

Explicitly specifying a task ID enables task de-duplication. If a task's ID is identical to that of an existing task or a task that was deleted or executed recently then the call will fail with ALREADY_EXISTS. If the task's queue was created using Cloud Tasks, then another task with the same name can't be created for ~1hour after the original task was deleted or executed. If the task's queue was created using queue.yaml or queue.xml, then another task with the same name can't be created for ~9days after the original task was deleted or executed.

Because there is an extra lookup cost to identify duplicate task names, these CreateTask calls have significantly increased latency. Using hashed strings for the task id or for the prefix of the task id is recommended. Choosing task ids that are sequential or have sequential prefixes, for example using a timestamp, causes an increase in latency and error rates in all task commands. The infrastructure relies on an approximately uniform distribution of task ids to store and serve tasks efficiently.

responseView

google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.Task.View

The response_view specifies which subset of the Task will be returned.

By default response_view is BASIC; not all information is retrieved by default because some data, such as payloads, might be desirable to return only when needed because of its large size or because of the sensitivity of data that it contains.

Authorization for FULL requires cloudtasks.tasks.fullView Google IAM permission on the Task resource.

options

object

Call options. See CallOptions for more details.

deleteQueue(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}

Deletes a queue.

This command will delete the queue even if it has tasks in it.

Note: If you delete a queue, a queue with the same name can't be created for 7 days.

listQueues(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description

request

Object

The request object that will be sent.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`parent`	string	Required. The location name. For example: `projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID`
`filter`	string	`filter` can be used to specify a subset of queues. Any Queue field can be used as a filter and several operators as supported. For example: `<=, <, >=, >, !=, =, :`. The filter syntax is the same as described in Stackdriver's Advanced Logs Filters. Sample filter "state: PAUSED". Note that using filters might cause fewer queues than the requested page_size to be returned.
`pageSize`	number	Requested page size. The maximum page size is 9800. If unspecified, the page size will be the maximum. Fewer queues than requested might be returned, even if more queues exist; use the next_page_token in the response to determine if more queues exist.
`pageToken`	string	A token identifying the page of results to return. To request the first page results, page_token must be empty. To request the next page of results, page_token must be the value of next_page_token returned from the previous call to ListQueues method.

runTask(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}

Forces a task to run now.

When this method is called, Cloud Tasks will dispatch the task, even if the task is already running, the queue has reached its RateLimits or is PAUSED.

This command is meant to be used for manual debugging. For example, RunTask can be used to retry a failed task after a fix has been made or to manually force a task to be dispatched now.

The dispatched task is returned. That is, the task that is returned contains the status after the task is dispatched but before the task is received by its target.

If Cloud Tasks receives a successful response from the task's target, then the task will be deleted; otherwise the task's schedule_time will be reset to the time that RunTask was called plus the retry delay specified in the queue's RetryConfig.

RunTask returns NOT_FOUND when it is called on a task that has already succeeded or permanently failed.

setIamPolicy(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}
