Why does the "configuring source" spinner in Pipedream app spin indefinitely when creating a source?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

I found a bug with sources using Pipedream app.

• Go to sources
• Create source
• Search for Pipedream
• Other workflow events
• Select a workflow using emit
• Enter a channel (hangs with default channels too)
• Create source
Expected behavior: The source is created
Actual behavior: The “configuring source” spinner spins forever

I double checked that the event is real, I can create subscriptions to it using the REST API, and the event shows up in the target workflow. The existence of event subscriptions doesn’t affect the bug.

Ah yeah we are deprecating workflow channel subscriptions overall

In favor of $.flow.trigger

With that you’ll be able to invoke your workflows with a more intuitive API

await $.flow.trigger("p_workflowID", event)

The idea was to consume that source using REST API (see my question in Help). So the bug is essentially WONTFIX and I will follow the HTTP trigger route

Sounds good

Yes, because it’s a deprecated feature in favor of another one

You can still consume source events from the API, though not for a CRON trigger
