Updates an existing workflow. Running this method has no impact on already running executions of the workflow. A new revision of the workflow might be created as a result of a successful update operation. In that case, the new revision is used in new workflow executions.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: workflows1 --scope <scope> projects locations-workflows-patch ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <name> (string)
    • The resource name of the workflow. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/workflows/{workflow}. This is a workflow-wide field and is not tied to a specific revision.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Workflow:
  call-log-level: string
  create-time: string
  crypto-key-name: string
  description: string
  labels: { string: string }
  name: string
  revision-create-time: string
  revision-id: string
  service-account: string
  source-contents: string
  state: string
  state-error:
    details: string
    type: string
  update-time: string
  user-env-vars: { string: string }

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . call-log-level=gubergren
    • Optional. Describes the level of platform logging to apply to calls and call responses during executions of this workflow. If both the workflow and the execution specify a logging level, the execution level takes precedence.
  • create-time=eos
    • Output only. The timestamp for when the workflow was created. This is a workflow-wide field and is not tied to a specific revision.
  • crypto-key-name=dolor
    • Optional. The resource name of a KMS crypto key used to encrypt or decrypt the data associated with the workflow. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/keyRings/{keyRing}/cryptoKeys/{cryptoKey} Using - as a wildcard for the {project} or not providing one at all will infer the project from the account. If not provided, data associated with the workflow will not be CMEK-encrypted.
  • description=ea
    • Description of the workflow provided by the user. Must be at most 1000 Unicode characters long. This is a workflow-wide field and is not tied to a specific revision.
  • labels=key=ipsum
    • Labels associated with this workflow. Labels can contain at most 64 entries. Keys and values can be no longer than 63 characters and can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. Label keys must start with a letter. International characters are allowed. This is a workflow-wide field and is not tied to a specific revision.
    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • name=invidunt
    • The resource name of the workflow. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/workflows/{workflow}. This is a workflow-wide field and is not tied to a specific revision.
  • revision-create-time=amet
    • Output only. The timestamp for the latest revision of the workflow's creation.
  • revision-id=duo
    • Output only. The revision of the workflow. A new revision of a workflow is created as a result of updating the following properties of a workflow: - Service account - Workflow code to be executed The format is "000001-a4d", where the first six characters define the zero-padded revision ordinal number. They are followed by a hyphen and three hexadecimal random characters.
  • service-account=ipsum
    • The service account associated with the latest workflow version. This service account represents the identity of the workflow and determines what permissions the workflow has. Format: projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account} or {account} Using - as a wildcard for the {project} or not providing one at all will infer the project from the account. The {account} value can be the email address or the unique_id of the service account. If not provided, workflow will use the project's default service account. Modifying this field for an existing workflow results in a new workflow revision.
  • source-contents=sed
    • Workflow code to be executed. The size limit is 128KB.
  • state=ut
    • Output only. State of the workflow deployment.
  • state-error details=gubergren
    • Provides specifics about the error.
  • type=rebum.

    • The type of this state error.
  • .. update-time=est

    • Output only. The timestamp for when the workflow was last updated. This is a workflow-wide field and is not tied to a specific revision.
  • user-env-vars=key=ipsum
    • Optional. User-defined environment variables associated with this workflow revision. This map has a maximum length of 20. Each string can take up to 4KiB. Keys cannot be empty strings and cannot start with "GOOGLE" or "WORKFLOWS".
    • the value will be associated with the given key

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p update-mask=string
    • List of fields to be updated. If not present, the entire workflow will be updated.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.
  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.
  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.
  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP
  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.
  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.
  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.
  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.
  • -p quota-user=string
