ERROR: A label with name 'x' already exists for workspace 'Altos_Labs_Inc'

[millerh1]

Whenever I am attempting to run something like the following:

tw launch FetchNGS_NFcore --params-file fetchngs/fetchngs_tower_params.3.json --config ../src/fetchngs_nextflow.config --compute-env xyz --labels x,y

I get this error:

ERROR: A label with name 'x' already exists for workspace 'Altos_Labs_Inc'

Is there a way to label these pipeline runs even if the label already exists? From the tower GUI, this is possible.

Further Details on the Issue

The user is utilizing the Seqera Platform, and the following insights were provided by Tomas:

After reviewing the tower-cli output provided by the user, it appears that the CLI initially checks for the existence of any labels to attach within the workspace by making a GET ... /api/labels call. However, it only retrieves the first page of 10 labels, while there are actually 75 labels in total. Consequently, if the label being sought isn't present on that initial page, the CLI assumes it doesn't exist and proceeds to attempt creation (POST ... /api/labels call), leading to a name uniqueness error. This issue needs to be addressed on the CLI side.

Upon replicating the error, I was able to confirm that Tomas's hypothesis regarding the labels is accurate. There are approximately 26 labels, causing the UI to generate a new page.

I'm still getting this error. Do I need to ask our IT folks to update something for tower?

Best, Henry

Hey, @millerh1 I have sent you a response regarding the above question on the FD ticket.

Thanks! Looks like we need to wait for the next enterprise release. Closing now!
