Workflows work fine for me in dev mode but deployed seem to never finish, eventhough the last expected step finished succesfully

makisuo•10/26/24, 10:09 PM

I am using EffectTS and for that reason am wrapping step.do to use it better with effect but dont really see how that could be the issue:

export const stepEffect = <A, E>(
    step: { do: (name: string, fn: () => Promise<any>) => Promise<any> },
    stepName: string,
    effectFn: Effect.Effect<A, E, never>,
): Effect.Effect<A, E, never> => {
    return Effect.promise(() => executeRpcWithCleanup(() => step.do(stepName, async () => Effect.runPromise(effectFn))))
}

export const stepEffect = <A, E>(
    step: { do: (name: string, fn: () => Promise<any>) => Promise<any> },
    stepName: string,
    effectFn: Effect.Effect<A, E, never>,
): Effect.Effect<A, E, never> => {
    return Effect.promise(() => executeRpcWithCleanup(() => step.do(stepName, async () => Effect.runPromise(effectFn))))
}

Isaac McFadyen•10/26/24, 10:41 PM

Your first step for troubleshooting should probably be to see if it works without EffectTS. I don't think anyone here uses EffectTS and so the amount of help we can give when that's involved is going to be limited

makisuo•10/26/24, 10:44 PM

yeah will remove some and troubleshoot a bit myself

Just wanted to see if someone had run into similar issues before.

Avi•10/27/24, 12:06 AM

how do workflow updates work?

Avi•10/27/24, 12:07 AM

like if i deploy a new version of the code

Avi•10/27/24, 2:13 AM

ah, i found a thread addressing my concerns here: workflows

Dmitry•10/27/24, 2:45 AM

Anyone try implementing workflows into a SvelteKit app yet?

Trying to figure out how to load a Workflow class in something other than the workflow-starter app (i.e - src/index.tssrc/index.ts file)

wrangler.toml
wrangler.toml
? it is!

Matt Silverlock•10/27/24, 3:20 PM

Bind to a Workflow from your SvelteKit app and invoke it? The Workflow doesn’t have to be in the same script.

sdr•10/27/24, 11:05 PM

This error message is confusing to me, throwing a NonRetryableError means the error is handled by the CF workflows platform right?

The execution of the Workflow instance was terminated, as a step threw an NonRetryableError and it was not handled

sdr•10/27/24, 11:05 PM

So it is handled but its by CF and not me

itsmatteomanf•10/27/24, 11:11 PM

I'd add a "[...] and it was not handled by user's Worklow code, so the Workflow failed.", that should explain it better.

sdr•10/27/24, 11:20 PM

Also spotted a bug in the docs / return type: workflows

sdr•10/27/24, 11:27 PM

Also whats the right way to setup local development of shared resources? If I have a pages & workers / workflows how do I share wrangler state between them?

Also I notice that the step name listed in the history have an int appended to them. Im not adding that so wondering why its there / where its documented

SSid Chatterjee Hello world. So what did we think? Catching up on feedback

MissS•10/28/24, 4:45 AM

Did we ever hear confirmation on how pricing works?

I.e. separate steps don’t count as a separate invocation? What about retries? Are they a separate invocation etc

Seekerdasbatatas•10/28/24, 10:08 AM

All IDs are unique at the moment - why do you need ID reuse in workflows?

fry69•10/28/24, 10:14 AM

My guess would be e.g. automatic "Terminate if Running", restart a workflow with updated information and kill any running one? This can be done with other existing means of course if I understand the docs correctly, just not automatic.

hum that's an interesting use case, I'll note it ^^

MissS•10/28/24, 10:39 AM

What happens if I just use a constant for all of my workflow IDs? Will it ensure that only one workflow is valid or will it programatically make deriviative IDs?

Diogo Ferreira•10/28/24, 10:48 AM

You will not be able to create multiple Workflows with the same ID

Timo Reimann•10/28/24, 11:24 AM

Heya

quick question to confirm my understanding: do nested steps behave identical to non-nested ones with regards to cache usage after failures?

Specifically, if a nested step fails, would the cached results from all parent steps be reused? Or is the caching of parent steps tied to the success of the (most) inner step(s) somehow?

Seekerdasbatatas•10/28/24, 11:25 AM

You are only charged for CPU cycles not wall time

about the invocations, it depends on how you write your workflow (your retry policy, how much time do you sleep) but providing you don't wait for too long it should be 1 invocation

fry69•10/28/24, 11:31 AM

After how much sleep time does a retry count as another invocation? Or this information not publicly available? Can you give rough guidance (or best practices) to avoid too many invocations per workflow?

Seekerdasbatatas•10/28/24, 11:34 AM

Not sure if I can disclose the sleep time, but it's long enough to not worry about the invocations you get per month for free

MissS•10/28/24, 11:43 AM

Are retries a separate invocation?

I’m wondering because if it is, then in some capacity, it encourages a dev to handle retries ourselves as much as possible instead of using the system

Based on your answer, it sounds like the answer is “sometimes”

Ffry69 My guess would be e.g. automatic "Terminate if Running", restart a workflow with...

Jani•10/28/24, 11:43 AM

Exactly - for interval based workflows this would be very useful. In some other cases we'd want to reuse only if workflow failed, using the same id (lets say some part of id is assembled by entity id - meaning 1:1 mapping to entity) but with updated data

You should be able to write an abstraction layer for this using available primitives, I think.

Seekerdasbatatas•10/28/24, 11:47 AM

minutes, it's long enough that if you need to wait for that time or higher it's actually good that you get another invocation ahhaha

MissS•10/28/24, 11:48 AM

That’s very helpful, thank you, since the main use case IMO is downstream api is overwhelmed. So a few minutes is probably most obvious use cases

MissS•10/28/24, 11:49 AM

Is it a few minutes from the last retry or the original invocation?

is there no way to delete workflow...?
