Previously, if a task failed to create a logger internally during the call to create a goroutine, the error would only be returned if the task (or task group) was waited on with
WaitE. This could lead to a race condition in tests, since it's expected that the function passed to thetask.Gocall is executed. And if something within the test is waiting on results from that goroutine, it could end up waiting indefinitely.This change ensures the function passed to a
task.Gocall is always executed. The only way this could not happen currently was if an error occurred while trying to create a logger for the task. This has been updated to rather fall back to the root logger; and print an error to the root logger.Informs: #156635
