I’ve been testing out long-running
I’ve been testing out long-running workflows and wanted to share some observations:
- Testing persistence outside of an execution loop: my main goal was to see if workflows keep their state properly when running in a loop (storing a reference of a step result outside of a loop) with longer sleep intervals (around 30 minutes). This seemed to work - state reference was not lost even when it most definitely hibernated during those long waits.
- Switching versions mid-sleep: during the second sleep cycle, I deployed a new version of the workflow. Surprisingly, it moved the execution to the new version instead of sticking with the original one and even disregarded the current active sleep cycle. Shouldn’t it use the version it was invoked with? (source)
- Dashboard wall time: the workflow mostly sat in sleep mode, but the dashboard showed a total wall time of almost 64 minutes, which doesn’t seem right given the actual activity.
Adding more details here in a thread.
