Cylc 8.5 Caveats
There are a few Cylc 7 features which do not yet have direct replacements in Cylc 8. These features will be re-implemented in future releases.
Browser Based UI
The old “GUI” has been replaced by the new browser-based “UI”.
- Static Graph Visualization
Not yet reimplemented for Cylc 8. As an interim measure the
cylc graph
command can generate a basic PNG image of a workflow graph if Graphviz is installed in the Cylc environment.- Multiple Selection
Multiple selection is yet to be implemented, however, it is possible to issue action for multiple tasks (e.g.
kill
) without using multiple selection:From the UI click on a workflow/cycle/task/job.
Find the action you want to call (e.g. kill).
Click the pencil symbol next to this action.
Edit the workflows/cycles/tasks/jobs in the form and press submit.
- Installing Workflows
At present there is no way to view or install source workflows in the UI.
- Rose Edit
Rose Edit is awaiting reimplementation.
UI Server
- CLI via UIS
The ability to route Cylc commands via the UIS is planned for a future release
