OpenStack Mistral workflow error while executing using GUI

I am getting error while executing OpenStack simple mistral workflow on OpenStack(wallaby) devstack environment. While I can execute the workflow from CLI command and got success But it fails if I try the same thing with GUI

root@openstack:~# openstack workflow definition show test_get

version: '2.0'

test_get:
  description: Test Get.
  tasks:
    my_task:
      action: std.http
      input:

But while executing in GUI I get **

Execution is missing field "workflow_identifier"

Solution

  • Faced the same issue in Yoga release. Spent a few hours to investigate it and found interesting thing: /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/mistralclient/api/v2/executions.py

    class ExecutionManager(base.ResourceManager):
resource_class = Execution

def create(self, wf_identifier='', namespace='',
           workflow_input=None, description='', source_execution_id=None,
           **params):
    self._ensure_not_empty(
        workflow_identifier=wf_identifier or source_execution_id
    )

    But! in the webform we are using workflow_identifier instead of wf_identifier /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/mistraldashboard/workflows/forms.py

        def handle(self, request, data):
    try:
        data['workflow_identifier'] = data.pop('workflow_name')
        data['workflow_input'] = {}
        for param in self.workflow_parameters:
            value = data.pop(param)
            if value == "":
                value = None
            data['workflow_input'][param] = value
        ex = api.execution_create(request, **data)

    FIX is to rename workflow_identifier to wf_identifier in the form like

    data['wf_identifier'] = data.pop('workflow_name')

    After that mistral-dashboard works fine with execution creating.
