UI - Play and Pause menu items randomly disabled

Cylc Cylc Support

I don’t have any specific details on this, I didn’t have time when I last saw it to try scanning through the developer console.

Sometimes the Play/Pause and Stop buttons at the top become disabled and grayed out (circled in image below). I think they also become disabled in the dropdown menu, but I don’t remember. I’ll update this when I next see it and can confirm either way. My guess is that this happens with long-lived browser sessions.

I’m unsure if this is local to our environment, or affects others, so I thought it best to ask here if others have seen that.

Hi,

This can occur if the UI gets out of sync with the workflow state, or if an actioned command (e.g. cylc stop) doesn’t result in the expected result (e.g. command fails). In both cases, a refresh should shake the problem. There are things that we can do to reduce the likelihood of this (e.g. maybe put a timeout on expected state changes from commands like cylc stop). We will get around to this in due course, sadly the priority list is extremely long at the moment.

Cheers,
