[Iplant-api-dev] running foundation api jobs by http

[Ghiban, Cornel]

Hi Roger,

Use "software" instead of "application".
Also, submit all the parameters as one hash, no need to group them under "request", "inputs" and "parameters". (or no hash at all).

Subject: [Iplant-api-dev] running foundation api jobs by http

I am trying, but I have failed completely at running a job by curl command as explained on this page:
https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/docs/Foundation+API+v1.0#FoundationAPIv1.0-JOBBASIC

I tried the example, too, and it failed. Has something changed? I'm not sure I have ever done this correctly, so I have no idea what is wrong. Everything I submit comes back with this, including
when I submit the sample job submission:
{"status":"error","message":"Invalid job name","result":null}

The sample job I tried running was this:
{
   "request":{
      "application":"head-5.97",
      "name":"Top 5 lines of a neat file",
      "archiveOutput":true,
      "inputs":[
         {
            "inputFile":"/test/myfile.txt"
         }
      ],
      "parameters":[
         {
            "numberOfLines":5
         }
      ]
   }
}
It was submitted as a POST to https://foundation.iplantcollaborative.org/apps-v1/job

My own test job failed, too. It was for GeneSeqer-5.0, my own App.
