Testing 🧪

How was this tested 👻

• Manual testing
• E2E tests added
• Unit tests added

Steps for others to test: 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♀️

Run temporal server from a local build

1. Ensure you have cloned the temporal repo
2. Run make bins and make start
3. Running temporal server from a local build does not create the namespace, run temporal operator namespace create --namespace canary
4. Create a search attribute for the canary namespace, run temporal operator search-attribute create --namespace canary --name CustomKeywordField --type Keyword

Run the UI against a local build of temporal server

1. Checkout the DT-3976-activity-commands-for-sa branch in the UI repo
2. Make sure the API version here is v1.63.3
3. cd server/ && make build
4. cd .. && pnpm dev:local-temporal

Run some sample workflows in the canary-go repo

1. Run make bins and ./temporal-canary start

Checklists

Draft Checklist

• Show pause reason on details page?
• Should ExecutionStatus filter only show some statuses?
• Should status badge on details page have "paused" icon when paused if status doesn't update to "paused" from "running"?
• Verify server version with support and update standaloneActivityCommandsDisabled
• Verify server version is deployed in Cloud
