Description

i'm trying to run
ngx.exit(500)
at my request handling code (location under server section of nginx)
and tried to add some code handling the log phase,
log_by_lua_block {
require("final").run()
}
and in the code i'm trying to access variable i set in ngx.ctx
but i found out that when i exit with 5** the ctx will be empty.
when i exit with 4** or 2** it's there as expected.

Before you open a new issue, please search the internet and make sure it is not duplicate.

Ensure you have provided the following details while reporting a problem:

  • The exact version of the related software, including but not limited to the OpenResty version
    (if any), the NGINX core version, the ngx_lua module version(via openresty -V or nginx -V),
    and the lua-resty-core version(via resty -e 'print(require("resty.core").version)'),
    and your operating system version(via uname -a).
  • A minimal and standalone test case that others can easily run on their side and
    reproduce the issue you are seeing.
  • Do not simply say "something is broken" or "something does not work". Always provide
    as much details as possible. Always describe the symptoms and your expected results.

You can (temporarily) enable the nginx debugging logs to see the internal workings
of NGINX in your nginx''s error.log file. See http://nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html
The same instructions apply equally well to OpenResty.

If you are seeing crashes, please provide the full backtrace for the crash. See
https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/debugging/#core-dump
for more details.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Research direction

Start by building the missing minimal standalone test case around ngx.exit(500), ngx.ctx, and the log_by_lua_block requiring final.run(), then compare it with 4xx and 2xx exits. Confirm the behavior using the reported OpenResty and ngx_lua versions, and record the expected versus observed ngx.ctx contents in the log phase.
