As you have already seen, ecFlow has a ecFlow Python Api: (for both python2 and python3)
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import ecflow
This allows the suite definition to be built with python.
It also allows communication with the ecflow_server.
This is a very powerful feature, that helps to define very complex suites in a relatively compact way.
Consider the following suite:
Code Block |
---|
suite test family f1 task a task b task c task d task e endfamily family f2 task a task b task c task d task e endfamily family f3 task a task b task c task d task e endfamily family f4 task a task b task c task d task e endfamily family f5 task a task b task c task d task e endfamily family f6 task a task b task c task d task e endfamily endsuite |
This can be written in python as:
|
|
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:
Code Block |
---|
def create_sequential_suite(name) : suite = Suite(name) for i in range(1, 7) : fam = suite.add_family("f" + str(i)) if i != 1: fam += 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 |
For more detailed example please see the user manual
Adding Node attributes
There are several styles for adding node attributes(Repeat,Time,Today,Date,Day,Cron,Clock,DefStatus,Meter,Event,Variable,Label,Trigger, Complete, Limit,Inlimit,Zombie,Late)
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
# Functional style node.add_variable(home,'COURSE') # c++ style node.add_limit('limitX',10) # c++ style # Using <node>.add(<attributes>) node.add(Edit(home=COURSE),Limit('limitX,10)) # Notice that add() allows you adjust the indentation Limit('limitX',10)) # node.add(<attributes>) node = Family('t1',Edit(home=COURSE)Limit('limitX,10),Task('t1')) # constructor. # in place. When creating a Node, attributes are additional arguments (preferred) # This also allows indentation. # Task(name,<attributes>), # Family(name,Node | <attributes>), # Suite(name,Node | <attributes>) node +== Family('t1', Edit(home='COURSE') +, Limit('limitX',10), Task('t1', Event('e'))) # Using node<node> += <attribute> adding a single attribute - adding a single attribute node += [ Edit(home='COURSE), Limit('limitX,10) ]') # Using node<node> += [ <attributes> ] - use list to add multiple attributes node += [ Edit(home='COURSE'), Limit('limitY',10), Event(1) ] # Using node + <attributes> - A node container(suite | family) must appear on the left hand side. Use brackets to control scope. node + Edit(home=COURSE) + Limit('limitZ'limitX,10) # In this example, variable 'name' is added to suite 's/' and not task 't3' suite = Suite("s") + Family("f") + # node + <attributes>. - A node must appear on the left hand side. Use brackets to control scope.Family("f2") + Task("t3") + Edit(name="value") suite s edit name 'value' family f endfamily family f2 endfamily task t3 endsuite # here we use parenthesis to control where the variable gets added suite = Suite("s") + Family("f") + Family("f2") + (Task("t3") + Edit(name="value")) suite s family f endfamily family f2 endfamily task t3 edit name 'value' endsuite |
