I had a resource that kept triggering every few minutes and it created a queue of hundreds of pending jobs. I want to clear off all the old resource versions so that it stops trying to start new jobs. How can I do that without deleting and recreating the pipeline or impacting any other active pipelines?
If I understand correctly you have something like:
> fly -t vm builds
id pipeline/job build status
25 queue-up/queue-up 25 started
24 queue-up/queue-up 24 started
23 queue-up/queue-up 23 started
22 queue-up/queue-up 22 started
21 queue-up/queue-up 21 started
20 queue-up/queue-up 20 started
19 queue-up/queue-up 19 started
18 queue-up/queue-up 18 started
17 queue-up/queue-up 17 succeeded
where maybe some of the builds are pending instead than started.
There is no way to clear off the old resource versions without deleting the pipeline. On the other hand, you can always abort all or some of the builds:
> for i in (seq 24 18); fly -t vm abort-build --build $i; end
build successfully aborted
build successfully aborted
build successfully aborted
build successfully aborted
build successfully aborted
build successfully aborted
build successfully aborted
> fly -t vm builds
id pipeline/job build status
25 queue-up/queue-up 25 started
24 queue-up/queue-up 24 aborted
23 queue-up/queue-up 23 aborted
22 queue-up/queue-up 22 aborted
21 queue-up/queue-up 21 aborted
20 queue-up/queue-up 20 aborted
19 queue-up/queue-up 19 aborted
18 queue-up/queue-up 18 aborted
17 queue-up/queue-up 17 succeeded
