Seqera Cloud v24.3.0_024e9bb

Seqera Cloud

Breaking changes​

  • Restore errorStrategy and maxRetries default Nextflow config for AWS and GCP launches. Platform will not overwrite existing error strategy coded in the pipeline repository.
  • If you want to automatically retry on task failures (e.g., from spot reclamations), you will now need to explicitly set errorStrategy and maxRetries.
  • Automatic spot retries in AWS and GCP now require active enablement. Alternatively Nextflow handles the generic failure at the Nextflow level.

You can revert to the default setting used in Nextflow prior to 24.10 with the following configuration options:

aws.batch.maxSpotAttempts = 5
google.batch.maxSpotAttempts = 5

Set task.maxRetries to a non-zero value to restore Platform to prior behaviour.

How do I retry Spot failures while making them visible?

There is no mechanism in Nextflow to specifically report Spot retries. However you can set process.maxRetries = 5 to retry all failures (including Spot reclamations) a specified number of times before failure.

Studios​

  • Added data studio API endpoints to the OpenAPI spec.

Permissions and roles​

  • New organization types added to allow free tier users to monitor their usage and limits.

Workflows​

  • Restore errorStrategy default Nextflow config for AWS and GCP launches. The Nextflow job now correctly terminates after pipeline completion.
  • The system now automatically terminates Azure jobs after all tasks complete.

Compute environments​

  • Updated list of EC2 families with NVMe disks available.

Launchpad​

  • Send only added/updated run parameters when launching a pipeline. This includes all defaults and parameters passed during the launch.

Pipelines​

  • Improved error messaging when pipeline info can't be fetched indicates whether the issue is due to a missing resource, or failed authentication due to expired credentials.

UI/UX​

  • New dynamic page title for easy bookmarking.

General​

  • Upgraded to Angular 17
  • Bumped Nextflow launcher to 24.10.3

Bug fixes​

Pipelines​

  • Allow unsetting schemaName when editing a pipeline.
  • Take into account the alternative mainScript path.

General​

  • Use preferred_username as fallback email field for OIDC login.
  • Drop the last characters in job definition name, if longer than the prescribed limit.
  • Prohibited duplicate Git credentials and added tie-break on lastUpdated for existing duplicates. Going forward, the system gives preference to the credentials updated last when multiple candidates exist. Additionally added a duplicate check when creating new credentials, to avoid new duplicate cases.

Compute environments​

  • Compute environment creation form allows pre- and post-run scripts to be longer than the accepted value of 1024 characters.

Workflows​

  • Disabled reset selection on data change in workflow list component.
