mutation retries
I have a action inside a mutation. As we known the mutations will retry themselves when failed, will the acitons inside also be retried?

Actions cannot be inside mutations, since actions can be nondeterministic and have side effects. Can you share more details about your code?
Hi @lee , I mean in a mutation, I scheduled an Action
example from documentations:
import { v } from "convex/values"; import { internal } from "./_generated/api"; import { internalAction, mutation } from "./generated/server"; export const mutationThatSchedulesAction = mutation({ args: { text: v.string() }, handler: async (ctx, { text }) => { const taskId = await ctx.db.insert("tasks", { text }); await ctx.scheduler.runAfter(0, internal.myFunctions.actionThatCallsAPI, { taskId, text, }); }, }); export const actionThatCallsAPI = internalAction({ args: { taskId: v.id("tasks"), text: v.string() }, handler: (, args): void => { // do something withtaskIdandtext, like call an API // then run another mutation to store the result }, });
Cool. Scheduled actions do not get retried. If you want an action to be retried, you can use this https://www.convex.dev/components/retrier

Add reliability to an unreliable external service. Retry idempotent calls a set number of times.
