Python variables can be used to generate trigger dependencies.
Imagine that we want to chain the families f1 to f6, so that f2 runs after f1, f3 after f2 and so on.
The following will do the trick:
def create_seqeuntialsequential_suite(name) :
suite = ecflow.Suite(name)
for i in range(1, 7) :
fam = suite.add_family("f" + str(i))
if i != 1:
fam.add_trigger("f" + str(i-1) + " == complete") # or fam.add_family( "f%d == complete" % (i-1) )
for t in ( "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" ) :
fam.add_task(t)
return suite
