Usage

Worker

The ZeebeWorker class gets jobs from the gateway and runs them.

import asyncio

from pyzeebe import ZeebeWorker, Job, JobController, createinsecurechannel

channel = createinsecurechannel(grpc_address="localhost:26500") # Create grpc channel worker = ZeebeWorker(channel) # Create a zeebe worker

async def onerror(exception: Exception, job: Job, jobcontroller: JobController): """ on_error will be called when the task fails """ print(exception) await jobcontroller.seterror_status(job, f"Failed to handle job {job}. Error: {str(exception)}")

@worker.task(tasktype="example", exceptionhandler=on_error) def example_task(input: str) -> dict: return {"output": f"Hello world, {input}!"}

@worker.task(tasktype="example2", exceptionhandler=on_error) async def anotherexampletask(name: str) -> dict: # Tasks can also be async return {"output": f"Hello world, {name} from async task!"}

loop = asyncio.getrunningloop() loop.rununtilcomplete(worker.work()) # Now every time that a task with type example or example2 is called, the corresponding function will be called

Stop a worker:

await zeebe_worker.stop() # Stops worker after all running jobs have been completed

Client

from pyzeebe import ZeebeClient, createinsecurechannel

Create a zeebe client

channel = createinsecurechannel(grpc_address="localhost:26500") zeebe_client = ZeebeClient(channel)

Run a Zeebe process instance

processinstancekey = await zeebeclient.runprocess(bpmnprocessid="My zeebe process", variables={})

Run a process and receive the result

processinstancekey, processresult = await zeebeclient.runprocesswith_result( bpmnprocessid="My zeebe process", timeout=10000 )

Deploy a BPMN process definition

await zeebeclient.deployresource("process.bpmn")

Cancel a running process

await zeebeclient.cancelprocessinstance(processinstance_key=12345)

Publish message

await zeebeclient.publishmessage(name="message_name", correlati)
