ui: refine workflow logs #166

Closed alintulu closed 2 years ago

alintulu commented 3 years ago

If the workflow fails at the workflow engine level, before starting any jobs, the UI shows no error logs. While you can get the complete logs with the client, it might be confusing for some users to see a failed workflow without any errors on the UI.

Possible solutions

Show only the workflow engine logs if the workflow fails before creating jobs
Add another tab (e.g. next to "Step") or option in drop down to show workflow engine logs. Could be always present.

With the allowing users to specify memory limits per job feature, users will get a workflow engine level log when exceeding the memory limits.

reana-client logs -w test-memory-limit                                                       
==> Workflow engine logs                                       
Workflow exited unexpectedly.                                  
Job submission error: The "kubernetes_memory_limit" provided (10.1Gi) exceeds the limit (10Gi).

This is not visible in the UI and there's no info displayed.

Bumping priority then! ⬆️

I think it would be great to have a way to generally view engine logs in the UI
