Class: Aws::States::Client

Inherits:
Seahorse::Client::Base show all
Defined in:
(unknown)

Overview

An API client for AWS Step Functions. To construct a client, you need to configure a :region and :credentials.

states = Aws::States::Client.new(
  region: region_name,
  credentials: credentials,
  # ...
)

See #initialize for a full list of supported configuration options.

Region

You can configure a default region in the following locations:

  • ENV['AWS_REGION']
  • Aws.config[:region]

Go here for a list of supported regions.

Credentials

Default credentials are loaded automatically from the following locations:

  • ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] and ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  • Aws.config[:credentials]
  • The shared credentials ini file at ~/.aws/credentials (more information)
  • From an instance profile when running on EC2

You can also construct a credentials object from one of the following classes:

Alternatively, you configure credentials with :access_key_id and :secret_access_key:

# load credentials from disk
creds = YAML.load(File.read('/path/to/secrets'))

Aws::States::Client.new(
  access_key_id: creds['access_key_id'],
  secret_access_key: creds['secret_access_key']
)

Always load your credentials from outside your application. Avoid configuring credentials statically and never commit them to source control.

Instance Method Details

#create_activity(options = {}) ⇒ Types::CreateActivityOutput

Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any programming language and host on any machine that has access to AWS Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the GetActivityTask API action and respond using SendTask* API actions. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity.

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

CreateActivity is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateActivity's idempotency check is based on the activity name. If a following request has different tags values, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

Examples:

Request syntax with placeholder values


resp = client.create_activity({
  name: "Name", # required
  tags: [
    {
      key: "TagKey",
      value: "TagValue",
    },
  ],
})

Response structure


resp.activity_arn #=> String
resp.creation_date #=> Time

Options Hash (options):

  • :name (required, String)

    The name of the activity to create. This name must be unique for your AWS account and region for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the AWS Step Functions Developer Guide.

    A name must not contain:

    • white space

    • brackets < > { } [ ]

    • wildcard characters ? *

    • special characters " # % \ ^ | ~ ` $ & , ; : /

    • control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F)

    To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.

  • :tags (Array<Types::Tag>)

    The list of tags to add to a resource.

    An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags.

    Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

Returns:

See Also:

#create_state_machine(options = {}) ⇒ Types::CreateStateMachineOutput

Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (Task states), determine to which states to transition next (Choice states), stop an execution with an error (Fail states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information, see Amazon States Language in the AWS Step Functions User Guide.

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

CreateStateMachine is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateStateMachine's idempotency check is based on the state machine name, definition, type, LoggingConfiguration and TracingConfiguration. If a following request has a different roleArn or tags, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, roleArn and tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

Examples:

Request syntax with placeholder values


resp = client.create_state_machine({
  name: "Name", # required
  definition: "Definition", # required
  role_arn: "Arn", # required
  type: "STANDARD", # accepts STANDARD, EXPRESS
  logging_configuration: {
    level: "ALL", # accepts ALL, ERROR, FATAL, OFF
    include_execution_data: false,
    destinations: [
      {
        cloud_watch_logs_log_group: {
          log_group_arn: "Arn",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  tags: [
    {
      key: "TagKey",
      value: "TagValue",
    },
  ],
  tracing_configuration: {
    enabled: false,
  },
})

Returns:

See Also:

#get_activity_task(options = {}) ⇒ Types::GetActivityTaskOutput

Used by workers to retrieve a task (with the specified activity ARN) which has been scheduled for execution by a running state machine. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available (i.e. an execution of a task of this type is needed.) The maximum time the service holds on to the request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds, the poll returns a taskToken with a null string.

Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 65 seconds (5 seconds higher than the maximum time the service may hold the poll request).

Polling with GetActivityTask can cause latency in some implementations. See Avoid Latency When Polling for Activity Tasks in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

Examples:

Request syntax with placeholder values


resp = client.get_activity_task({
  activity_arn: "Arn", # required
  worker_name: "Name",
})

Response structure


resp.task_token #=> String
resp.input #=> String

Options Hash (options):

  • :activity_arn (required, String)

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the activity to retrieve tasks from (assigned when you create the task using CreateActivity.)

  • :worker_name (String)

    You can provide an arbitrary name in order to identify the worker that the task is assigned to. This name is used when it is logged in the execution history.

Returns:

See Also:

#get_execution_history(options = {}) ⇒ Types::GetExecutionHistoryOutput

Returns the history of the specified execution as a list of events. By default, the results are returned in ascending order of the timeStamp of the events. Use the reverseOrder parameter to get the latest events first.

If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

Examples:

Request syntax with placeholder values


resp = client.get_execution_history({
  execution_arn: "Arn", # required
  max_results: 1,
  reverse_order: false,
  next_token: "PageToken",
  include_execution_data: false,
})

#send_task_heartbeat(options = {}) ⇒ Struct

Used by activity workers and task states using the callback pattern to report to Step Functions that the task represented by the specified taskToken is still making progress. This action resets the Heartbeat clock. The Heartbeat threshold is specified in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition (HeartbeatSeconds). This action does not in itself create an event in the execution history. However, if the task times out, the execution history contains an ActivityTimedOut entry for activities, or a TaskTimedOut entry for for tasks using the job run or callback pattern.

The Timeout of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received. Use HeartbeatSeconds to configure the timeout interval for heartbeats.

#wait_until(waiter_name, params = {}) {|waiter| ... } ⇒ Boolean

Waiters polls an API operation until a resource enters a desired state.

Basic Usage

Waiters will poll until they are succesful, they fail by entering a terminal state, or until a maximum number of attempts are made.

# polls in a loop, sleeping between attempts client.waiter_until(waiter_name, params)

Configuration

You can configure the maximum number of polling attempts, and the delay (in seconds) between each polling attempt. You configure waiters by passing a block to #wait_until:

# poll for ~25 seconds
client.wait_until(...) do |w|
  w.max_attempts = 5
  w.delay = 5
end

Callbacks

You can be notified before each polling attempt and before each delay. If you throw :success or :failure from these callbacks, it will terminate the waiter.

started_at = Time.now
client.wait_until(...) do |w|

  # disable max attempts
  w.max_attempts = nil

  # poll for 1 hour, instead of a number of attempts
  w.before_wait do |attempts, response|
    throw :failure if Time.now - started_at > 3600
  end

end

Handling Errors

When a waiter is successful, it returns true. When a waiter fails, it raises an error. All errors raised extend from Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed.

begin
  client.wait_until(...)
rescue Aws::Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed
  # resource did not enter the desired state in time
end

Parameters:

  • waiter_name (Symbol)

    The name of the waiter. See #waiter_names for a full list of supported waiters.

  • params (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Additional request parameters. See the #waiter_names for a list of supported waiters and what request they call. The called request determines the list of accepted parameters.

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    Returns true if the waiter was successful.

Raises:

  • (Errors::FailureStateError)

    Raised when the waiter terminates because the waiter has entered a state that it will not transition out of, preventing success.

  • (Errors::TooManyAttemptsError)

    Raised when the configured maximum number of attempts have been made, and the waiter is not yet successful.

  • (Errors::UnexpectedError)

    Raised when an error is encounted while polling for a resource that is not expected.

  • (Errors::NoSuchWaiterError)

    Raised when you request to wait for an unknown state.

#waiter_namesArray<Symbol>

Returns the list of supported waiters. The following table lists the supported waiters and the client method they call:

Waiter NameClient MethodDefault Delay:Default Max Attempts:

Returns:

  • (Array<Symbol>)

    the list of supported waiters.
