And for my next question - is there a way to use the graphql API to stop/kill a flow run with a flow_id? I can see an update_state mutation, it’s just unclear whether that actually stops it..

We're actually working on supporting cancelling running flows right now, see https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/2771

HAHA you’ve linked me to a github issue that was opened from one of my own previous questions 😂 😂

You can change state of a running flow, and future tasks will not be run, but current tasks won't be stopped. That's on the todo list.

That will do perfectly, I just need to know the magic words - it’s non obvious to me from looking at the API…

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that

client.set_flow_run_state

is the method you want. @josh might know more here.

Yep

set_flow_run_state

would be the client function you want to update the state of the flow run 👍

Great, thanks guys, digging into it now

I believe it's required, but I'm not sure what it should be here. cc @josh?

You can pass any integer into that for the version if using server (which bypasses the verison locking feature that’s used for Cloud)

Guys i have to hand it to you - you’re the single most responsive community I’ve ever dealt with. Any question I ask either has a fix or a PR in minutes, its amazing!!

Good user questions help make things better for everyone, we wouldn't be where we are without the supportive community :)
