pycue: add cloneJob() to duplicate an existing job for resubmission - #2549
hikmetba-bit wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
There is currently no API-supported way to duplicate (clone) an existing job as a starting point for re-running it with the same or a slightly adjusted configuration; callers have to manually collect fields from job.data/layer.data and hand-build a launch spec. Add opencue.api.cloneJob(job, name=None, user=None, frame_range=None, layer_frame_ranges=None), which reconstructs a launchable job spec from the job's and its layers' current data (commands, services, frame ranges, core/memory/gpu requirements, tags, limits) and submits it via the existing launchSpecAndWait(). Render/Util/Post layers are cloned; PreProcess layers and layers with no command are skipped, since neither can be represented as a standalone layer in the spec XML. frame_range/layer_frame_ranges let the caller override the range on the clone (e.g. after fixing a frame range) without having to touch every other field. Fixes AcademySoftwareFoundation#2148 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The job-cloning API generally works and is covered by tests, but a cloned job from a paused or auto-eat-enabled source job will start running immediately without those controls, which can differ from the intended re-run behavior. Two narrower edge cases (submitting a clone with no runnable layers, and duplicated name prefixes when cloning under a different user) are also unaddressed. None of these are destructive, but the paused/auto-eat gap should be fixed before merge to avoid unexpected job execution. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Handle clone names when the submitting user changes.
Cuebot’s JobSpec.conformJobName removes the exact <show>-<shot>-<user>_ prefix before persisting a job name (cuebot/src/main/java/com/imageworks/spcue/service/JobSpec.java:124-156). Therefore, the current default is correct when the clone uses the original user.
When user changes, the current value still contains the original full prefix. Cuebot then persists both prefixes, such as <show>-<shot>-<new-user>_<show>-<shot>-<old-user>_..._clone. Do not derive a base name by splitting arbitrary names. Either strip the exact original prefix after validating it, or require an explicit name when cloning under a different user. Add coverage for that case; keep the existing same-user expectation.

Preserve is_paused and auto_eat.
cloneJob reconstructs the source job's submission configuration but omits these public Job fields. When either field is True, Cuebot parses the missing element as False, so the clone starts with different execution behavior.
The launch schema accepts both elements. Cuebot's parser accepts the True/False strings emitted by Python. Place the elements in the schema order and cover enabled values.

Reject clones that contain no runnable layers.
If every layer is unsupported or has no command, this line submits <layers />. Reject that state locally instead of sending a non-runnable specification to Cuebot. The standard serializer performs the same cardinality check. (github.com)

Summary
Fixes #2148.
There's currently no API-supported way to duplicate (clone) an existing job as a starting point for re-running it, e.g. after adjusting the frame range or fixing a minor issue. Recreating a job today requires manually collecting fields from
job.data/layer.dataand hand-building a launch spec.Changes
Adds
opencue.api.cloneJob(job, name=None, user=None, frame_range=None, layer_frame_ranges=None):Job/Layer.data), so it works without the original outline/pyoutline submission script.launchSpecAndWait()and returns the newly launchedJob(s).Render/Util/Postlayers are cloned;PreProcesslayers and layers with nocommandare skipped (with a log warning), since neither can be represented as a standalone<layer>in the spec XML.frame_rangeoverrides the range on every cloned layer;layer_frame_ranges(a{layer_name: range}dict) overrides it per layer and takes precedence, so callers can resubmit with an adjusted range without touching anything else.name/userdefault to"<original-name>_clone"and the original job's submitting user, respectively, and can be overridden.Memory values (
min_memory/min_gpu_memory, stored server-side in KB) are round-tripped through the spec's megabyte-suffixed format (e.g."4096.0m"), matching howcom.imageworks.spcue.service.JobSpec#convertMemoryInputparses the<memory>/<gpu_memory>elements. Tags are re-joined with|, matchingJobSpec#determineTags's split.No new dependencies — this only uses
xml.etree.ElementTree(already used by the equivalent pyoutline spec serializer) and existing generatedjob_pb2types.Test plan
