Previous meeting
9 September
General Admin etc. - 10 min - HO
Cylc-8.0a1 feedback/questions:
- how to install on secure systems with no internet access - see this comment
from
cylc-admin#27
for more
- bug from a user that tested using base_url in JupyterHub (good use case,
where the hub is behind a rev proxy) -
https://github.com/cylc/cylc-ui/issues/258
DM: NRL’s problem with non-HTTPS on the back-end is that their remote
platforms are really remote. Proper solution is job CLI via the UIS?
Any new Cylc-7 bug reports or problems?
Other?
Packaging - 10 min - SB and BK
- cylc-8.0a1 full-system available via conda from kinow channel
- cylc-flow-8.0a1 now available from conda-forge
- what remains to be done on conda-forge? (and ETA?)
- pending dependencies in the top comment of this issue: https://github.com/cylc/cylc-conda/issues/3
UI Graph View - 20 min - MR
Update on:
- Cytoscape vs D3 etc
- prospects for custom node icons etc.
MR: Cytoscape probably best in most respects, e.g. dynamic graphs and practical
updates; “El Grapho” faster?
DM and OS: don’t forget “cylc graph”; data provision to UI of static graph.
WebSockets and Subscriptions - 10 min - BK and DS
Update on the recent work (UI, UIServer, and WFS)
- what has been done / is being done / is still to do; how it works
- what has been done:
- https://github.com/cylc/cylc-flow/pull/3390 (pending review): added subscriptions to the schema
- https://github.com/cylc/cylc-uiserver/pull/82 (pending review): added code from graphene-tornado pending pull request; uses the schema updates from the PR above; adds a tornado WebSocket handler to expose the schema/graphql endpoint
- https://github.com/cylc/cylc-ui/pull/280: updated project dependencies; fixed build & tests; adjusted previous code to keep working; updated views to use WebSockets/subscriptions
- what is still to do:
- Cylc Flow and Cylc UI Server pull requests need review (probably 1 reviewer DW, but needs one more)
- After Cylc Flow and Cylc UI Server PR’s are merged, review Cylc UI PR
- create follow up issues after review/merge, with what’s missing (e.g. data-driven on the websocket side instead of interval-based)
CLI-WFS Authentication - 20 min - SB
WIP PR status update
- what has been done / is being done / is still to do; how it works
SB away, but this should be done before she leaves the project; DS agrees on
the approach taken.
Config schema unification - 10 min - TP
Status update
What has been done
- Cylc-flow PR #3348 Outlines the new
config schema without actually making it do anything. It’s waiting on a
review from DM.
- Cylc-admin PR #58 Attempts to
update the documentation in the light of the comments on
Cylc-flow PR #3348
What is being done
- Cylc-flow PR #3357 attempts
to plug the new schema in for local usage, and starts to look at how
that changes will continue to support Cylc 7.x
suite.rc files.
What is still to do
- Approving any of the above PR’s.
- Getting the new config working and well tested with new style
global.rc
files.
how it works
- [The
suite.rc proposal document in cylc-admin] contains details of how
this change should work.
Changelogs
- Do we need to add changelog to other projects (like cylc-uiserver, cylc-ui, etc?)
AOB?
- next meeting? (first Mon/Tues each month)
OS: Why Cylc? questions at UK RSE conf (plus “cloud integration” etc.); need
good answers to these; Cylc 8 best time to start pushing it
