Argo Script Task Quick Fix - Inline Script Execution

Argo Workflows script templates run inline code using specified interpreters. Incorrect script syntax or missing interpreters cause execution failures. This guide covers the fix.

Quick Fix

Wrong

- name: process-data
  script:
    image: python:3.11
    command: [python]
    source: |
      import sys
      print("hello")

The issue: wrong command for script template. Script templates use command for the Interpreter, and source for the code, but the Interpreter path must include the script argument.

Right

- name: process-data
  script:
    image: python:3.11-slim
    command: [python]
    source: |
      import json
      data = {"message": "hello"}
      print(json.dumps(data))

# Expected output after applying the fix
# Script executes inline Python code
# Output: {"message": "hello"}
# Result stored in {{steps.process-data.outputs.result}}
# Step status: Succeeded

Prevention

• Use command: [python] or command: [bash] matching the script language
• Write script source code in the source field
• Use print() or echo for output that becomes step result
• Import all required libraries in the script source
• Test scripts locally before adding to workflow templates
