08/18/2020, 5:42 PMHow do I spec params in gql while trying to run a job?
eg if I have a params called input_loc and submission_id, how do I define those args in gql?
Copy code
mutation {
create_flow_run(
input: {
flow_id: "dcbbfc94-5643-453c-941a-0efa8505df66"
parameters: {"input_loc": "test"}
}
) {
id
}
}as in, normally I'd just drop something like this JSON into the GUI
Copy code
{
"files": [
"fname.txt",
"fname2.txt"
],
"input_loc": "/test_job_loc/",
"submission_id": "test_job_id"
}j

08/18/2020, 6:18 PMthanks Jenny - I'm sure it's a dumb question, it's just I'm not getting the exact syntax.
this is where I was looking

08/18/2020, 6:49 PMHi @Philip MacMenamin - took a bit of json-figuring but here's an example:
Copy code
mutation {
create_flow_run(input: {
flow_id: "xxxxxxxxx",
parameters: "{\"a\":2}"
}
) {
id
}
}I'll make a note to add that to the docs - at least to help me remember for next time!

08/18/2020, 6:50 PMok, so you're having to escape every " ?
and then wrap the whole thing in "'s - ok. I see. I'll test
yup, that's the one. Thanks!
