Workflow error "Long-running operation returned unexpected response."

[AndriDharma]

Hi, So I'm trying to cancel dataflow jobs using workflow by calling "

googleapis.dataflow.v1b3.projects.locations.jobs.update" and it returns an error "Long-running operation returned unexpected response.". 
Here is my snippet code:

                - stopJob1:

                    call: googleapis.dataflow.v1b3.projects.locations.jobs.update

                    args:

                      jobId: ${dataflow.job.id}

                      location: 

                      projectId:

                      body:

                        requestedState: JOB_STATE_CANCELLED

                    result: updateResult

                    next: finishStep

I actually don't need the result response and the snippet broke after the dataflow has been cancelled, how do i fix this?

Thank you.

Hi @AndriDharma,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Your Dataflow job cancellation workflow using googleapis.dataflow.v1b3.projects.locations.jobs.update encounters an unexpected response error.

Troubleshooting:

• Review error logs: Check workflow and Dataflow logs for specific details.
• Handle timeouts: Increase timeout for the call step to allow completion.
• Network connectivity: Ensure stable network connection to Dataflow service.
• Temporary service issues: Implement retry logic for transient errors.
• Asynchronous handling: Remove result field if you don't need it.
• Alternative methods: Try Dataflow API directly or Google Cloud CLI.

Additional tips:

• Monitor job state to confirm cancellation.
• Upgrade relevant libraries and modules.
• Raise a Google Cloud support ticket.
