I can't even get the example working. It queues up then instantly fails with an internal error.

Hey @darkpool , so I am currently trying to reproduce, how did you spin up the starter?

darkpoolOP•6mo ago

1. npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter" 2 I get an error:

╰  ERROR  Error: This project is configured to use pnpm because /Users/mgandolfi/dev/gandolfillc/test/morpheus-test/test2/workflows-starter/package.json has a "packageManager" field

╰  ERROR  Error: This project is configured to use pnpm because /Users/mgandolfi/dev/gandolfillc/test/morpheus-test/test2/workflows-starter/package.json has a "packageManager" field

3. cd into workflows-starter and pnpm i NOTE: if I try and use pnpm and run pnpm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter" It does not use the template and makes me go through create-cloudflare from scratch 4. npx wrangler deploy 5. npx wrangler workflows list 6. npx wrangler workflows trigger workflows-starter '{"hello":"world"}' 7. npx wrangler@latest workflows instances describe workflows-starter latest and then observe error:

Following the get started guide so no code changes also just noticed that template template has package-lock.json despite pnpm set https://github.com/cloudflare/workflows-starter/blob/main/package.json#L13 I've also tried: * removing packageLock pnpm requirement * one click deploy * using wrangler 4.6.0 * removing pnpm overrides with no luck

Can you use the starter again, and change the name to something else like foo, deploy it and trigger it?

{
    "name": "foo",
    "main": "src/index.ts",
    "compatibility_date": "2024-10-22",

    "observability": {
        "enabled": true,
        "head_sampling_rate": 1,
    },
    "workflows": [
        {
            
            "name": "workflows-starter",
            "binding": "MY_WORKFLOW",
            "class_name": "MyWorkflow",
        },
    ],
}

{
    "name": "foo",
    "main": "src/index.ts",
    "compatibility_date": "2024-10-22",

    "observability": {
        "enabled": true,
        "head_sampling_rate": 1,
    },
    "workflows": [
        {
            
            "name": "workflows-starter",
            "binding": "MY_WORKFLOW",
            "class_name": "MyWorkflow",
        },
    ],
}

Your wrangler.jsonc should be similar to this @darkpool Can you try this and get back to me? Also, have you ever deleted the worker script for workflows-starter?

darkpoolOP•6mo ago

ok trying now and yes I delete the script each time

avenceslau•6mo ago

got it thanks! When you say it's not supported officially does that mean it's not possible to get it working no matter what? I got RPC working even though it's not documented or mentioned anywhere. project still in early prototype phase so im 100% fine with errors and edge cases ok so is it like a CF level block that's happening? also no worries about any trouble. thanks for helping me with this on a sunday and sorry I didnt specify I previously tried it with WFP
