(4) Each time you run the Initiator, you should see some "hello world!" messages in the Activity worker output.  If not, log into the AWS console and look at the SWF tab to see what's going on with your workflows.

MetaGenomics Pipeline

How to run it:

(1) run a local instance of Synapse with some TCGA datasets created

(2) run the decider java -javaagent:/Users/deflaux/Downloads/aws-java-sdk-1.3.3/third-party/aspectj-1.6/aspectjweaver.jar -cp ~/platform/trunk/tools/tcgaWorkflow/target/tcgaWorkflow-

How to make a new workflow

...

This can happen when the activity or workflow code throws a runtime exception such as a NullPointerException.  Unfortunately the unit testing framework provided by SWF does not log them.

"java.lang.IllegalStateException",{"cause":null,"message":"not ready","localizedMessage":"not ready"

Promise Variables were used Incorrectly

This happens when you try to access a Promise variable in a context that does not ensure that the value must be "ready".  Here is an anti-example:

...

Code Block
Promise<String> message = client.formulateNotificationMessage(layerId);
client.notifyFollowers(Promise.asPromise(NOTIFICATION_SNS_TOPIC), 
                       Promise.asPromise(NOTIFICATION_SUBJECT), 
                       message);

 

Load-Time Weaving Not Enabled

This can also happen when you have @Asynchronous annotations but aspectj weaving is not correctly configured and enabled.  Make sure:(1) loadsure load-time weaving is enabled by passing JVM argument -javaagent:/Path/To/aspectj-1.6/aspectjweaver.jar

    1. for mvn exec:java you do this via setting the environment variable 

      Code Block
      export MAVEN_OPTS=-javaagent:/Path/To/aspectj-1.6/aspectjweaver.jar
    2. for the surefire plugin, this is configured via 

      Code Block
            <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
              <configuration>
                <forkMode>pertest</forkMode>
                <argLine>-javaagent:${settings.localRepository}/org/aspectj/aspectjweaver/${org.aspectj.version}/aspectjweaver-${org.aspectj.version}.jar</argLine>
              </configuration>
            </plugin>
    3. for Java it might look something like this 

      Code Block
      java -javaagent:/Users/deflaux/Downloads/a-java-sdk-1.3.3/third-party/aspectj-1.6/aspectjweaver.jar -cp target/tcgaWorkflow-0.11-SNAPSHOT.jar org.sagebionetworks.workflow.curation.TcgaWorkflowInitiator

Load-Time Weaving Not Configured

This can also happen when you have @Asynchronous annotations but aspectj weaving is not correctly configured.  Make sure load-time weaving is configured correctly in PLFM/trunk/lib/lib-workflow/src/main/resources/META-INF/aop.xml You should see some log output like the following:
