1) Don't overwrite the message of all Workflow Task Exceptions to say "Something went wrong"
2) log errors when correlation evaluations fail (just so we are aware something isn't working correctly)
3) Dont make all evaluation fuctions require a current task context to execute -- that should be optional.
SpiffWorkflow -
- start_messages function should return message names, not ids.
- don't catch external thrown messages within the same workflow process
- add an expected value to the Correlation Property Model so we can use this well defined class as an external communication tool (rather than building an arbitrary dictionary)
- Added a "get_awaiting_correlations" to an event, so we can get a list of the correlation properties related to the workflows currently defined correlation values.
- workflows.waiting_events() function now returns the above awaiting correlations as the value on returned message events
Backend
- Dropping MessageModel and MessageCorrelationProperties - at least for now. We don't need them to send / receive messages though we may eventually want to track the messages and correlations defined across the system - these things (which are ever changing) should not be directly connected to the Messages which may be in flux - and the cross relationships between the tables could cause unexpected and unceissary errors. Commented out the caching logic so we can turn this back on later.
- Slight improvement to API Errors
- MessageInstances are no longer in a many-to-many relationship with Correlations - Each message instance has a unique set of message correlations specific to the instance.
- Message Instances have users, and can be linked through a "counterpart_id" so you can see what send is connected to what recieve.
- Message Correlations are connected to recieving message instances. It is not to a process instance, and not to a message model. They now include the expected value and retrieval expression required to validate an incoming message.
- A process instance is not connected to message correlations.
- Message Instances are not always tied to a process instance (for example, a Send Message from an API)
- API calls to create a message use the same logic as all other message catching code.
- Make use of the new waiting_events() method to check for any new recieve messages in the workflow (much easier than
churning through all of the tasks)
- One giant mother of a migration.
* Clear out complex get_message_instance_receive how that many-to-many works.
* Create decent error messages when correlations fail
* Move correlation checks into the MessageInstance class
* The APIError could bomb out ugly if it hit a workflow exception with not Task Spec.
Adding a bit of detail to the spiffworkflow exceptions when a duplicate process model is found.
