In the Cylc 8 WUI (and maybe TUI?), is there a way to see when the next retry is scheduled for? Using Cylc UI 2.5.0, I can’t see a way via the Tree or Table views.
In Cylc7 gscan in the latest message area it would say when the next retry was scheduled for
, and I found it useful to know when things are scheduled to run again.
Cylc 7 was actually abusing the “latest message” (task message) field by displaying scheduler retry log messages there.
In Cylc 8 every task message (including output messages) is recorded, not just the latest one, but so far they’re only accessible from the tree view in the GUI. And the retry delay, being a scheduler log message, is accessible from the log view in the GUI.
Example screenshot - a:x and a:y are outputs, "the quick brown fox" is an arbitrary (non-output) task message:
We plan to have some kind of scrolling “alert view” of scheduler log messages at WARNING level or above. If you see a task failure, look there to see what the scheduler is going to do about it (e.g. retry after a delay). However, that’s still TBD.
