Claims environment but task never finishes

[ameowlia]

This just started happening a lot on the Opsmanager pipeline.

It says it claims the environment, and the 2nd step of the job succeeds, but the 1st step of the job never stops running.

This build (below) has been running for 5 hours before we noticed it stuck on claiming the environment.

For our reference, if I want to look up this example again:

looks like something interrupted the progress of the build on the worker, so it re-started from scratch and tried acquiring again.

concourse version?

concourse version: v2.6.0

We're still seeing this pretty regularly.

Here's another, slightly different, example.

• the first half of the environment task never technically finished, even though the second half did, and even though it claimed an environment and moved on to the next step.

• we decided to kill this job for unrelated reasons

• the environment is never able to be released and we had an environment in limbo

@ameowlia is this still happening? Did you upgraded your Concourse version in the meantime ?
