darren•1/8/25, 10:41 PM

Sorry about bumping this one again, but I’m stumped.

Is there a way to see if I’m somehow bumping up against limits? The actual processing time shouldn’t be significant here. The network requests may be a bit slow, but from what I can gather from the docs, waiting on IO shouldn’t affect the limits.

Any insights or debugging advice would be appreciated.

hey everyone, I've done on my free time a batteries-included library for Workflows called Flowcesinha: https://github.com/LuisDuarte1/flowcesinha

Custom storage engines and lazy step results (R2 included) so that, you can store more state inside of an step (and you can bring your own storage engine!);
Error reporting (Sentry provided in flowcesinha-sentry) and Workflow failure handler;
Reversable steps: ability to add a revert callback in case that the workflow fails;
Durable fetch: ability to fetch from APIs with dynamic retries (that come from the Retry-After header);
Functional primitives: doMap (map but every call is done inside of a step);
... more to come soon!

what would you guys want to see next?

hi team, I am struggling with creating/accessing database and service bindings for a workflow. Even though the bindings are defined in the wrangler.toml, the only binding that is accessible during the deployment is the workflow binding, DB and AGENT_LOOP are undefined.

wrangler.toml:
[[workflows]]
name = "wf-ainf-run-snap"
binding = "RUN_SNAP_WORKFLOW"
class_name = "RunSnapWorkflow"
main = "src/index.ts"
compatibility_date = "2024-01-01"
compatibility_flags = ["nodejs_compat"]

[[d1_databases]]
binding = "DB"
database_name = "ainfiltrators"
database_id = "xxxxx"

[[services]]
binding = "AGENT_LOOP"
service = "agent-loop"

deploy output:
Your worker has access to the following bindings:

Workflows:
- RUN_SNAP_WORKFLOW: RunSnapWorkflow

What am i missing here?
thanks in advance!

Thanks! Now I am struggling with calling one workflow from another. Is this possible? Both workflows are folders in the same monorepo. Let's say I want to call RunSnapWorkflow from RunEpisodeWorkflow. The things I have trouble with:

When I add the workflow_b binding to workflow_a wrangler.toml, i get a deploy error: "Your Worker depends on the following Workflows, which are not exported in your entrypoint file: RunSnapWorkflow. You should export these objects from your entrypoint, src/index.ts."
If i copy the RunSnapWorkflow class definition to RunEpisodeWorkflow, i can deploy. but when i call RunSnapWorkflow.create() "I get an error: Error: workflow.not_found "

I read through all the docs but i cannot find an example where one workflow calls another

Should i bind RunSnapWorkflow as a service and use fetch interface?

Without your

Hey, I think I've got a bug.

Every so often workflows will fail to find the toISOString method on the WorkflowEvent.

timestamp.toISOString is not a function

timestamp.toISOString is not a function

timestamp.toISOString is not a function

timestamp.toISOString is not a function

Which leads me to belive sometimes it's not parsing the event into a date object or losing that method somewhere.

Its failed 10 workflows for me overnight

J

jordanfinners•1/14/25, 9:18 AM

@Skye yes sure

export class ActionsWorkflow extends WorkflowEntrypoint<Env, StockTakeActionEvent> {
async run(event: WorkflowEvent<StockTakeActionEvent>, step: WorkflowStep) {
// some other code, but doesn't interact with event
const timestamp = event.timestamp.toISOString()
}
}

kchro3•1/14/25, 8:14 PM

Hi, folks, would there be a problem with using a for loop over a step.do & a step.sleep?

for example:

const configs = [{ id: 1, delay: "2 hours" }, { ... }]
for config in configs:
  await step.do(`do ${config.id}`, { ... })
  await step.sleep(`sleep ${config.id}`, config["delay"])

const configs = [{ id: 1, delay: "2 hours" }, { ... }]
for config in configs:
  await step.do(`do ${config.id}`, { ... })
  await step.sleep(`sleep ${config.id}`, config["delay"])

const configs = [{ id: 1, delay: "2 hours" }, { ... }]
for config in configs:
  await step.do(`do ${config.id}`, { ... })
  await step.sleep(`sleep ${config.id}`, config["delay"])

const configs = [{ id: 1, delay: "2 hours" }, { ... }]
for config in configs:
  await step.do(`do ${config.id}`, { ... })
  await step.sleep(`sleep ${config.id}`, config["delay"])

i'm not sure how this works behind the scenes, but i read that the step names need to be static so that they will be cached, so i imagine that if the workflow shuts down after the first sleep, it will reiterate over configs but "skip" the steps

do 1

do 1

do 1

do 1 and

sleep 1

sleep 1

sleep 1

sleep 1 and pick up from

do 2

do 2

do 2

do 2. is that correct?

kchro3•1/14/25, 8:34 PM

just minor feedback, but it would be helpful if it was spelled out what happens on workflow reboots, especially in this section: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/build/rules-of-workflows/#do-not-rely-on-state-outside-of-a-step

we were confused by the example because a for-loop has dynamic variables, so we weren't sure if we needed to store the index in the workflow state. there were other examples with for-loops but not with sleep calls that could force a hibernation.

Cloudflare Docs

Rules of Workflows · Cloudflare Workflows docs

A Workflow contains one or more steps. Each step is a self-contained, individually retriable component of a Workflow. Steps may emit (optional) state that allows a Workflow to persist and continue from that step, even if a Workflow fails due to a network or infrastructure issue.

I have some feedback – it seems that in a step.do() not the full error message may be shown on the dashboard? it just says ZodError; I doubt it's an issue on zod's side?

await step.do("detect spam", async () => {
  return await detectSpam(this.env, opts.payload.message.content);
});

await step.do("detect spam", async () => {
  return await detectSpam(this.env, opts.payload.message.content);
});

await step.do("detect spam", async () => {
  return await detectSpam(this.env, opts.payload.message.content);

check spam basically does this:
