All jobs going through the web-submission are run in detached mode for technical reasons (blocking of threads, and information having to be transported back to the JobManager for things like collect()).

You unfortunately cannot run non-detached/attached/blocking jobs via the web submission, which includes the WordCount example because it uses specific methods (the ones mentioned in the exception; collect, print, printToErr, count).

In other words, your setup appears to be fine correctly, you are just trying to do something that is not supported.

Hey everyone, I've got an awesome looking Flink cluster set up withweb.submit.enable=true, and plenty of bash for handling jar upload and then submission to a JobManager - all good so far. Unfortunately, when I try to submit the classic WordCount example, I get a massive error with the jist of it being: /"Job was submitted in detached mode. Results of job execution, such as accumulators, runtime, etc. are not available. Please make sure your program doesn't call an eager execution function [collect, print, printToErr, count]."/
*So, how do I run it *not* in detached mode using curl please?*
I'm intentionally not using the Flink CLI because I am using an nginx with auth proxy set up - so I'm doing everything with curl, in a bash script - (so, two requests - one to upload the jar, then I get the ID from the response, and then submit the job with that ID). At https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.12/ops/rest_api.html if you ctrl-f for /run, there's nothing obvious that indicates how I can run in blocking mode - the biggest clue I've got is `programArg`. So I'm wondering if I can provide that somehow.
For those who prefer code:
/curl ${auth_options} ${self_signed_flag} ${ca_cert_flag} -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"https://${JOBMANAGER}/jars/${uploaded_jar_string}/run$programArgsToUse <https://%24%7Bjobmanager%7D/jars/$%7Buploaded_jar_string%7D/run$programArgsToUse>/ Whereby/programArgsToUse/is user args, and I'm cool with them being query parameters for now - I think.
I'm passing them on the end with:

if [[ ! -z $program_args ]] ; then
  programArgsToUse="?programArg=$program_args"
fi
so my eventual curl looks like this. But, I'm really just guessing what the detached argument is... curl --cacert /etc/ssl/tester/certs/ca.crt -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://tester-minimal-tls-sample-jobmanager:8081/jars/fdc7684f-323d-49fa-a60a-96683d953be8_WordCount.jar/run?programArg=detached=false'
(obviously, what's at the end looks really wrong, but IDK what to use)
The only mention of "detach" I see documented is at https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/deployment/config.html, and that says by default it's not in detached mode for execution. If there are any better docs or examples, please send them my way - or if you've spotted me being just plain silly with my bash, that would be fantastic to point out. Thanks a lot in advance, cheers, happy to share any more code/background if need be
