<div class="section" id="how-can-i-test-a-definition-without-writing-scripts">
<span id="test-bench"></span><span id="index-0"></span>
<p>When designing the definition it is often very desirable to
be able to auto generate the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-ecf-script"><em class="xref std std-term">ecf script</em></a> s. This allows for a lot
of experimentation with <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-suite-definition"><em class="xref std std-term">suite definition</em></a> structure without the chore
of continually keeping the scripts in sync.</p>
<p>The following Python code shows that it is possible to test
<em>any</em> <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-suite-definition"><em class="xref std std-term">suite definition</em></a> without having to create any <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-ecf-script"><em class="xref std std-term">ecf script</em></a> s.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-ecf-script"><em class="xref std std-term">ecf script</em></a> files are auto generated. Hence if the <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-suite-definition"><em class="xref std std-term">suite definition</em></a> contains
<a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-event"><em class="xref std std-term">event</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-meter"><em class="xref std std-term">meter</em></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-label"><em class="xref std std-term">label</em></a>, the auto generate feature will create scripts
with correct <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-child-command"><em class="xref std std-term">child command</em></a> s to communicate with the server.</p>
<p>The scripts assumes that <a class="reference internal" href="/wiki/display/ECFLOW/Glossary#term-ecflow-client"><em class="xref std std-term">ecflow_client</em></a> is accessible on $PATH.</p>
<p>To use, copy the contents into a file, say <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">test_bench.py</span></tt></p>

<span class="c"># Code for testing *any* definition</span>
<span class="c">#   Since any ad hoc definition will reference local directories in the</span>

<span class="c">#</span>
<span class="c">#   This script is re-runnable, and hence will delete suites in the server</span>
<span class="c">#   matching those in the input definition. Hence it is best to use this </span>
<span class="c">#   script with a *test* server to avoid accidentally deleting existing suites </span>
