    Change handling of non-Ganeti errors in jqueue · 599ee321

    Currently, if a job execution raises a Ganeti-specific error (i.e.
    subclass of GenericError), then we encode it as (error class, [error
    args]). This matches the RAPI documentation.
    
    However, if we get a non-Ganeti error, then we encode it as simply
    str(err), a single string. This means that the opresult field is not
    according to the RAPI docs, and thus it's hard to reliably parse the
    job results.
    
    This patch changes the encoding of a failed job (via failure) to always
    be an OpExecError, so that we always encode it properly. For the command
    line interface, the behaviour is the same, as any non-Ganeti errors get
    re-encoded as OpExecError anyway. For the RAPI clients, it only means
    that we always present the same type for results. The actual error value
    is the same, since the err.args is either way str(original_error);
    compare the original (doesn't contain the ValueError):
    
      "opresult": [
        "invalid literal for int(): aa"
      ],
    
    with:
    
      "opresult": [
        [
          "OpExecError",
          [
            "invalid literal for int(): aa"
          ]
        ]
      ],
