Last weekend, we had a rare anomaly in which all Nextflow workflows silently "stalled".
I've written code to identify workflows in this condition using the Seqera Platform API. Next I want to cancel and resume the workflows.
Cancel
is straightforward and it's also easy to
Resume
via the Seqera Platform/Tower web UI by selecting
Resume
from the kebab menu on the right-hand side.
But what is a good way to do this via the Seqera Platfom API? We use the /workflow/launch endpoint to initiate workflows. When a workflow is cancelled, Seqera Platform/Tower should have all the information to immediately resume the workflow since it was passed by the initial API POST request.
As I understand the API, the
workflow/launch
endpoint has a Boolean
resume
attribute and I see no alternative. It seems rather long-winded to query the API and use those values to repopulate all the payload attributes for the
workflow/launch
endpoint, set
resume
to
True
and send all this back to the endpoint.
Is this the recommended approach or is there a better alternative?
