The following python code shows how to check expression and limits.
Checking existing definition file that has been saved as a file;
| Code Block |
|---|
def = ecflow.Defs("/my/path.def") # will load file '/my/path.def' from disk |
...
print def.check() # check trigger expressions and limits |
Here is another example where we create the suite definition on the fly. In fact using the python API allows for a correct by construction paradigm.
| Code Block |
|---|
defs = ecflow.Defs() # create a empy defs |
...
suite = defs.add_suite("s1"); # create a suite 's1' and add to defs |
...
task = suite.add_task("t1"); # create a task 't1' and add to suite |
...
task.add_trigger("t2 == active)") # mismatched brackets |
...
result = defs.check(); # check trigger expressions and limits |
...
print "Message: '" + result + "'" |
...
assert len(result) != 0, "Expected Error: mis-matched brackets in expression." |
