[Swift-devel] Swift run to Falkon hanging

[Ben Clifford]

Hmm.

You have a bunch of jobs in progress at the end of the log file.

I presume you have lazy errors turned off (that is the default). I'm not 
sure how eager the eager error handling is - Mihael might know off the top 
of his head, or I can have a poke. If an execute2 fails with 
APPLICATION_EXCEPTION, does that kill the whole workflow? I would have 
thought not but I realise I am not sure.

1 execute2 had failed, but 5 were in progres (I think 4 of the original 
submissions and 1 retry).
