argo-events sensor fails to retry a workflow using workflow labels

[Nadine-H]

I'd like to use argo-events to retry a failed workflow. We already have an argo-events pipeline (source, event bus, sensor) to trigger workflows, and now I want to add the capability to retry a workflow using that pipeline.

Here's the portion of the sensor that is invoking the retry operation:

        argoWorkflow:
          group: argoproj.io
          version: v1alpha1
          resource: workflows
          operation: retry
          args:
            - --selector
            - wf-id=test
            - -n
            - mynamespace

I'd like to use the workflow labels to identify the workflow (which is supported by the argo cli retry command). However, when the sensor receives the argo event, it complains: failed to execute trigger, failed after retries: failed to execute the workflow retry operation, no name is given. I thought the retry operation mirrors the argo cli retry, is that not the case? Or is something missing from my sensor?

You may want to re-post this in Argo Events's discussions or the #argo-events Slack channel.

If it works with the argo CLI, then the question is about Events's interface to Workflows, and not Workflows itself

Thanks @agilgur5 I'll reach out to the slack channel. And bumping this post too for more visibility.
