Upgrade To The Latest Jupyter Releases
The Cylc UI Server has been updated to work with the latest releases of Jupyter Server and Jupyter Hub.
If you are utilising Cylc’s multi-user functionality then your configuration will require some changes to work with these releases.
See Authorizing Others to Access Your Workflows for more details
Cylc 8.2.0
Configure The Default View
You can now configure the view which is opened by default when you navigate to a new workflow in the GUI. Navigate to the settings page to select your chosen view.
In the future we plan to support configuring a layout of multiple views and configuring certain options on those views.
Reload
When workflows are
reloaded,
(e.g. by cylc reload), Cylc will now pause the workflow and wait for any
preparing tasks to be submitted before proceeding with the reload.
Once the reload has been completed, the workflow will be resumed.
You can now see more information about the status of the reload in the workflow status message which appears at the top of the GUI and Tui interfaces.
Cylc 8.1.0
Warning
Workflows started with Cylc 8.0 which contain multiple flows cannot be restarted with Cylc 8.1 due to database changes.
Graph View
The web UI now has a graph view which displays a visualisation of a workflow’s graph:
Family & cycle grouping as well as the ability to view graphs for stopped workflows will be added in later releases.
Log View
The web UI now has a log view which displays workflow and job log files:
Support for viewing more log files, syntax highlighting, searching and line numbers are planned for future releases.
Edit Runtime
The web UI now has a command for editing the [runtime] section
of a task or family.
Any changes made are broadcast to the running workflow.
Analysis View
New in version cylc-uiserver: 1.2.2
The web UI also has a new view for displaying task queue & run time statistics.
Combined Commands
Two new commands have been added as short-cuts for common working patterns:
cylc vipValidate, install and plays a workflow, equivalent to:
cylc validate <path> cylc install <path> cylc play <id>
cylc vrValidate and reinstall a workflow, then either: - reload the workflow if it is running. - restart the workflow if it is stopped.
For more information see the command line help:
cylc vip --help
cylc vr --help
Bash Completion
Cylc now provides a high performance Bash completion script which saves you typing:
Cylc commands & options
Workflow IDs
Cycle points
Task names
Job numbers
