Description

I got this:

2018-06-27 16:34:34 arvados.cwl-runner ERROR: 'ARVADOS_API_TOKEN'

as the complete and only error message when I attempted to run arvados-cwl-runner without ARVADOS_API_TOKEN set. We need better error messages.

Similarly, this needs to say what endpoint it's attempting to connect to that it can't verify the cert for:

2018-06-27 16:45:09 arvados.cwl-runner ERROR: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)

#1 Updated by Tom Clegg about 1 year ago

Just a thought -- in this situation is it possible to raise an exception in the Python SDK that is both machine-readable (recognizable exception class) and human-readable ("you need to set your API_HOST and TOKEN vars or using a settings file")? It'd be nice to handle this such that humans get useful feedback even from applications that haven't wrapped the error with their own advice.

Improves error messages emitted by the Python SDK, and adds an extra API call early in a-c-r initialization so that errors get reported early.

Example errors:

$ arvados-cwl-runner   --api=containers --submit-runner-ram=3333 --create-workflow submit_wf.cwl ../submit_test_job.json 
2018-07-05 17:03:40 arvados.cwl-runner ERROR: ARVADOS_API_TOKEN not set.
Please set in /home/peter/.config/arvados/settings.conf or export environment variable.

$ arvados-cwl-runner   --api=containers --submit-runner-ram=3333 --create-workflow submit_wf.cwl ../submit_test_job.json
