ActionDefinition

Parameter Description Type Required
function Name of the referenced function. See FunctionDefinition. string yes
input Selects or generates the data to send as input to the function. Structured JQ no
secrets Defines a list of secrets to temporarily add to the instance data under .secrets, before evaluating the input. []string no
retries []RetryPolicyDefinition no
files Determines a list of files to load onto the function's file-system from variables. Only valid if the referenced function supports it. []FunctionFileDefinition no

RetryPolicyDefinition

- id: a
  type: action
  action:
    function: myfunc
    input: 'jq(.x)'
    retries:
      codes: [".*"]
      max_attempts: 3
      delay: PT3S
      multiplier: 1.5
Parameter Description Type Required
codes A list of "glob" patterns that will be compared to catchable error codes returned by the function to determine if this retry policy applies. []string yes
max_attempts Maximum number of retry attempts. If the function has been retried this many times or more when this policy is invoked the retry will be skipped, and instead the error will be escalated to the state's error handling logic. integer yes
delay ISO8601 duration string giving a time delay between retry attempts. string no
multiplier Value by which the delay is multiplied after each attempt. float no

FunctionFileDefinition

- id: a
  type: action
  action:
    function: myfunc
    input: 'jq(.x)'
    files:
    - key: VAR_A 
      scope: namespace
      as: a

Some function types support loading variable directly from storage onto their file-systems. This object defines what variable to load and what to save it as.

Parameter Description Type Required
key Identifies which variable to load into a file. string yes
scope Specifies the scope from which to load the variable. VariableScopeDefinition no
as Names the resulting file. If left unspecified, the key will be used instead. string no

VariableScopeDefinition

Every variable exists within a single scope. The scope dictates what can access it and how persistent it is. There are four defined scopes:

  • instance
  • workflow
  • namespace
  • file
