From a5b71a4195a1082214ea134166939a102de7d1d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sojan Mathew Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 16:11:31 +1100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix activity completion when thread interrupted flag is set Activities that catch InterruptedException, restore the interrupted flag, and continue execution were unable to report their completion due to gRPC call failures. This occurred because gRPC calls fail when the thread's interrupted flag is set. The fix clears the interrupted flag before making gRPC calls in ActivityWorker.sendReply() and restores it afterward, ensuring: - Activity results are successfully reported to the server - Thread interruption semantics are preserved for worker shutdown - All activity completion scenarios work (success/failure/cancellation) Additionally, extract executeGrpcCallWithInterruptHandling() method to eliminate code duplication across the three gRPC response calls, improving maintainability and reducing the risk of inconsistent implementations.
