CNCF Serverless Workflow v1.0 validator and executor

CNCF Serverless Workflow Python v1.0

A Python 3 library for parsing, validating, and executing workflows defined in the CNCF Serverless Workflow v1.0 specification. Supports all state types (OperationState, ForEachState, SwitchState, SubflowState, ParallelState, EndState, EventState, DelayState, InjectState), JQ-based data filtering, events, retries, and authentication. Optimized for agentic workflows with LLM-friendly design.

Features

• Parse and Validate: Validates YAML/JSON workflows against the v1.0 schema, enforcing transition or end: true for non-EndState types, collecting all errors.
• Execute Workflows: Handles all state types, including event-driven, delay, and data injection.
• JQ Integration: Supports JQ for stateDataFilter, arguments, and inputCollection.
• LLM-Friendly: Structured comments (e.g., # MANDATORY Transition) and comprehensive error reporting for LLM generation.
• Testing: Pytest suite for validation of multiple error cases.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rvergis/cncf-serverless-workflow-python-v1.git
   cd cncf-serverless-workflow-python-v1
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install pyyaml jq jsonschema pytest
   

3. Install as a package:

   pip install .
   

Usage

1. Save your workflow (workflow.yaml) and schema (workflow_schema.yaml).
2. Validate and execute:

   from cncf_serverless_workflow.workflow_validator import load_yaml, validate_workflow
   from cncf_serverless_workflow.workflowengine import execute_workflow
   schema = load_yaml("workflow_schema.yaml")
   workflow = load_yaml("workflow_example.yaml")
   
   result = validate_workflow(workflow, schema)
   if result["status"] == "valid":
       final_state = execute_workflow(workflow)
       print(json.dumps(final_state, indent=2))
   else:
       print(json.dumps(result["message"], indent=2))
   

3. Example output for workflow_example.yaml:

   {
     "context": {
       "ParallelStartOutput": {
         "items": [{"value": 60}, {"value": 30}, {"value": 45}],
         "value": 60,
         "Branch1Output": 62,
         "Branch2Output": "Processed: 2"
       },
       "ForEachStateOutput": {
         "results": [
           {"method2": "Processed: 10"},
           {"method3": [31, 32]},
           {"method3": [46, 47]}
         ]
       },
       "SwitchStateOutput": {"value": 60},
       "OperationStateOutput": {
         "initOperation": {"value": 70},
         "method1": 72,
         "method2": "Processed: Seq2: 72",
         "method3": ["Processed: Seq2: 72", "Processed: Seq2: 73"],
         "method4": {"key": "Processed: Seq2: 72"}
       }
     }
   }
   

LLM Integration

To generate valid workflows:

1. Provide workflow_example.yaml as a one-shot example.
2. Use prompt: “Generate a state with transition (to ParallelStart, ForEachState, etc.) or end: true after type, optional stateDataFilter, and dataOutput.”
3. Validate with workflow_validator.py, retrying up to 3 times with errors: “Regenerate fixing: {errors}.”
4. Example error: ["State 'GetAllObjectIds' missing mandatory transition or end: true"].

Testing

Run tests to validate workflows:

pytest test_workflow_validator.py
