All SLURM jobs created by snakemake have the same name #83

It seems like the SLURM job names are simply assigned with UUIDs here:

However in my testing, I would end up with all the jobs launched in my snakemake pipeline having the same name.

uuid

Any ideas why that could be ?

Yes.

I read the documentation, but it doesn't explain why all the jobs would have the same UUID. Isn't the point of using UUIDs to have a different, unique one generated every time? Besides, with all jobs having the same name, one cannot use the job name to query it.

As we state: The plugin queries the job status of all jobs of a workflow using this name, which is unique per workflow. Hence, the ability to query with the comment, which is the rule name per job.
