Cannot refresh .dockstore.yml workflows

Dockstore
#1

I recently installed the Dockstore github app on my repo, and have linked my workflow to Dockstore. When I attempt to refresh my organization, I continually get the following error:

warning The webservice encountered an error.
[HTTP 400] OK: Cannot refresh .dockstore.yml workflows

I’m guessing that whatever is causing this, is likely what is also keeping my workflow from being validated?

My yml can be found here https://github.com/AndrewLangvt/genomic_analyses/blob/main/.dockstore.yml

Thanks for the help!

Hi @Alang,

This is actually not a problem!
Workflows added via the Dockstore GitHub App will automatically update whenever the GitHub repo updates - there is no “Refresh” for those workflows on the Dockstore-side. https://docs.dockstore.org/en/develop/getting-started/github-apps/github-apps.html

Anyhow, this does seem like a confusing message for users refreshing an organization, so we’ll probably consider making it look less like an error…

Cheers,
Greg

Ah, thanks @gfjhogue. That does make sense. Initially, I was running into some issue with it auto-syncing from GitHub, though that seems to have become more clear now.
