Description
In hashi-ui and other tasks i've encountered where I need to get a list of jobs and parse them to validate certain things, I always end up doing stuff similar to the code below
It would be nice to allow richer filtering on the job list, e.g. only "root" jobs (*job.ParentID == nil) or jobs with a specific meta key set
In prioritised order
- allow only showing parent jobs
- allow only showing children jobs
- allow filtering on
meta{}kv in each job
jobs, _, err := client.Jobs().List(&api.QueryOptions{Prefix: appName + "-", AllowStale: true})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not list remote jobs: %s", err)
}
found := make([]string, 0)
for _, jobStub := range jobs {
if strings.Contains(jobStub.ID, "/periodic-") {
log.Debugf("Job %s are a periodic child job, ignoring")
continue
}
job, _, err := client.Jobs().Info(jobStub.ID, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not read remote job %s: %s", jobStub.ID, err)
}
// This is periodic and paramertized jobs
// we don't want to interfere with those auto-created jobs as they will be gc'ed by
// nomad on their successful completelion
if *job.ParentID != "" {
log.Debugf("Job %s is child of %s, skipping", *job.ID, *job.ParentID)
continue
}
found = append(found, *job.ID)
}
