class Action(object):
"""Action.
Action is a means in Mistral to perform some useful work associated with
a workflow during its execution. Every workflow task is configured with
an action and when the task runs it eventually delegates to the action.
When it happens task parameters get evaluated (calculating expressions,
if any) and are treated as action parameters. So in a regular general
purpose languages terminology action is a method declaration and task is
a method call.
Base action class initializer doesn't have arguments. However, concrete
action classes may have any number of parameters defining action behavior.
These parameters must correspond to parameters declared in action
specification (e.g. using DSL or others).
Action initializer may have a conventional argument with name
"action_context". If it presents then action factory will fill it with
a dictionary containing contextual information like execution identifier,
workbook name and other that may be needed for some specific action
implementations.
"""

def run(self):
"""Run action logic.
:return: result of the action. Note that for asynchronous actions
it should always be None, however, if even it's not None it will be
ignored by a caller.
In case if action failed this method must throw a ActionException
to indicate that.
"""

def test(self):
"""Returns action test result.
This method runs in test mode as a test version of method run() to
generate and return a representative test result. It's basically a
contract for action 'dry-run' behavior specifically useful for
testing and workflow designing purposes.
:return: Representative action result.
"""
pass
def is_sync(self):
"""Returns True if the action is synchronous, otherwise False.
:return: True if the action is synchronous and method run() returns
final action result. Otherwise returns False which means that
a result of method run() should be ignored and a real action
result is supposed to be delivered in an asynchronous manner
using public API. By default, if a concrete implementation
doesn't override this method then the action is synchronous.
