Description

Feature request

Although multiple tasks can be submitted programatically, it does not provide proper consistency when one or more of the tasks:

  • have invalid inputs
  • failed for any other reasons (e.g. network connections etc)

Often it is desired for either all or none of the tasks to be started.

Also addresses open-rmf/rmf-web#484.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing programmatic task-submission API and its validation and failure handling, then define how a batch should report partial failures; done means tasks are started consistently as either all accepted or none started.
