if you have a state machine with both time out and manually executable, will it still progress automatically? (and both timeout and manual are dependent on any condition I guess)

    to my believe it does.

    you can still have it manually executable to skip timeout imo. not sure if that’s always a good idea…

    makes sense if you have something that would otherwise poll every x hours, but you want to override it and make it poll now

    in combination with a condition? yep

    yes exactly

    best though: try it out? 😇 defining timeout to 1m, add condition and manual and see what is supported and what not

    also we noticed it "not working" just now, but would need to investigate more

    also 1m is a long time in dev cycles

    I think it’s not supporting 1s as a setting though 😇

    not sure I understood how condition is relevant here, but timeout and manual do work for the same event. To have an option “not to wait”. Although I never investigated, what happens with timeout entry in DB after you moved the item manually. I guess cron-job will try to process it and skip/remove since it’s not actual any more..

    yes.. u can have condition with timeout and the same time with manually flag and it is working..

  • UKJND3A3H

    but is timeout plus condition actually leading to “polling”? meaning: if condition fails and there is no else case, state would stay same. would there be another timeout after configured period? 🤔 I like the idea, but not sure that this is the case with current spryker OMS

  • giovanni.piemontese

    just as example.. we use a lot of cycle in state machine.. of course u need an else state etc... take a look in the example....

    ah this! Yeah, looks familiar to me too, exactly for similar cases. Although we concluded on the project that re-sending the same request multiple times if it fails makes little sense. Rather communicating with “middleware”, then they find/fix the issue and then we manually retry the transition when they’re done

  • Andriy Netseplyayev

    which means the same schema but w/o timeout

  • UKGT7RC7P
    UKGT7RC7P Posts: 538 🧑🏻‍🚀 - Cadet

    our specific case is less about failure retry, but polling an external system for changes

    yes, this is a good use-case 👍
