`cylc vr` - restart with no changes?
Validate, reinstall and apply changes to a workflow.
Validate and reinstall a workflow then either:
- "Reload" the workflow (if it is running),
- or "play" it (if it is stopped).
Currently, if the workflow is running and no source changes are detected, cylc vr
aborts with:
WARNING - No changes to source: No reinstall or reload required.
That's fine, because a reload would achieve absolutely nothing.
However if the workflow is stopped and no source changes are detected, we get:
WARNING - No changes to source: No reinstall or play required.
IMO the "no play required" bit is wrong, it should restart the workflow. I wouldn't do cylc vr
if I didn't want the workflow to be running. Maybe I don't recall if if I installed my latest changes already, so I do cylc vr
instead of cylc play
just in case.
