UI: Bad output expression for PAPI jobs Completed
Per a conversation started by Adelaide on our internal user response/support channel on 11:36AM, March 22. She says,
"(In both FC and Terra) I have a workspace that succeeds in its run, but puts up a red exclamation point."
David An helped triage:
"It's definitely the output expressions. The first has these messages: `"Invalid output expression: this.downsample_table", "Invalid output expression: this.mbias_table", "Invalid output expression: this.qc_table"`; the second has `"Invalid output expression: this.qc_report"`
I agree that the user experience is less than ideal: a status of `Succeeded` but an error icon.
I think there's two separate (but related) issues:
1) these submissions *do* have errors in their output expressions. So, if you care about those outputs, then that's a fix for the user to make.
2) the UI is showing bad icons/statuses. It shows the underlying workflow as succeeding, even though it had errors in the output expressions. This is a product fix that the user can't do anything about. In the FCUI, we are displaying success/failure icons based on the `executionStatus` value in the cromwell metadata. That reports the status of the PAPI job. Instead, we should be reporting what rawls returns as a status for the workflow."

Yes, having an explanation for the error symbol clears this up. Thank you for adding this feature.
Hello,
We now report if something failed with an error due to bad output expressions. Does this meet the criteria for the feature request?
