It should be possible to use separate

wrangler.toml

files in separate directories and invoke wrangler separately in those directories with npm scripts.

but how would those get deployed?

i'd want them tied to the worker i'm deploying with the main

To different Cloudflare names/entities?

DiamondDragon•10/31/24, 5:30 AM

ugh i spent like an hour today trying to figure out why i could get the worker server to start... added a 2nd test workflow to play around

AviOP•10/31/24, 5:33 AM

yeah it’s rough. imo they should have added a note in the changelog or something

DiamondDragon•10/31/24, 5:36 AM

is it possible to inspect a workflow triggered locally?

fry69•10/31/24, 6:00 AM

Running workflows will not get updated of course, only freshly instantiated workflows will run the new deployed version.

DiamondDragon•10/31/24, 6:28 AM

Not sure if this is silly - does it make ense to use a RPC service binding in a workflow/step? getting TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'TEST_SERVICE') TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'TEST_SERVICE') when just testing around

bkyerv•10/31/24, 6:46 AM

is workflows accessible/supported from inside pages functions?

bkyerv•10/31/24, 6:46 AM

I mean directly via env.[workflow_name] e.g. from astro project. i.e. not via network like fetch(...)

Advany•10/31/24, 9:07 AM

I can't seem to figure out, how do I limit the amount of instances per minute a workflow can ingest? I have browser rendering working inside of the workflows and I want to limit it to only do around 1 instance per 10 seconds orso

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 11:51 AM

Access is the same as a normal worker, but it requires a this.this. before accessing it… it’s not mentioned in the docs, they will add it

bkyerv•10/31/24, 11:53 AM

I see, thank you!

bkyerv•10/31/24, 11:55 AM

in general are there any materials that show cases of proven practices that work well with workflows? i.e. is it better to keep interaction with the db inside the workflow or outside of the workflow in the worker itself. or more generally what actions are better to perform inside workflow vs. inside a regular worker?

Advany•10/31/24, 12:02 PM

I made a workaround. Add the workflow items to a d1. Then a do sends it every 10 seconds to the workflow. Dripping it into it.

Would be great if we could just add that on step level of workflow level

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 12:24 PM

The less work each step makes, the better. Each step will be retried, persisting results from other steps, but not variables outside of those (so the variable assigned from a step return is maintained, a random variable is not)

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 12:24 PM

Do a db step, do a processing step (or even a per item processing, if it’s a loop and it’s not too long to go over the step limit)

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 12:25 PM

Do consider that you can nest steps, too. If you were to need that.

bkyerv•10/31/24, 12:36 PM

DiamondDragon•10/31/24, 2:35 PM

Isn’t the step limit 250? So I have a step that return an object of 500 items and need to loop over each item to make another external api call and do further processing, I can’t have a nested step inside the for loop to process each item? Since it sounds like I’d hit the step limit

DDiamondDragon Isn’t the step limit 250? So I have a step that return an object of 500 items an...

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 2:56 PM

Exactly, yes. The limit is 255 steps.

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 2:56 PM

Do remember that you still have the 1k subrequest limit that applies and that retries will be counted against this limit.

DanGamble•10/31/24, 2:59 PM

movaid7•10/31/24, 3:54 PM

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere in the docs - I can't figure out if sleeping executions are counted towards the concurrency limit.
general-helpDo sleeping Workflows count towards the maximum concurrent execution limit?

makrdev•11/1/24, 8:29 PM

Yes, you can add as bindings. Also, you can create an endpoint to manage your workflow by reaching your instance. You can start, pause or resume your workflow via that hono endpoint.

dattaproffs•11/2/24, 7:51 PM

hi, trying to add workflows like this in wrangler.toml

workflows = [
  {name = "first-workflow", class_name = "FirstWorkflow", binding = "WORKFLOW_ONE"},
  {name = "second-workflow", class_name = "SecondWorkflow", binding = "WORKFLOW_TWO"}
]

workflows = [
  {name = "first-workflow", class_name = "FirstWorkflow", binding = "WORKFLOW_ONE"},
  {name = "second-workflow", class_name = "SecondWorkflow", binding = "WORKFLOW_TWO"}
]

i have it under a [[env.staging]]
if i have one i works but with two the worker failes to start
"The Workers runtime failed to start. There is likely additional logging output above."

there is no error in the log. what am i missing?

it looks like `workerd` crashes when more than a single workflow is defined in `wrangler.toml`
