Re-run a test

The Davai command davai-run_tests launches all the jobs listed in conf/<USECASE>.yaml, sequentially and independently (i.e. without waiting for the jobs to finish). The command can also be used complementary:

• to list the jobs that would be launched by the command, according to the conf/<USECASE>.yaml config file: davai-run_tests -l

• to run a single job:

  davai-run_tests -j <job identifier as given by -l option>

Some tests are gathered together within a single job. There are 2 reasons for that: if they are an instance of a loop (e.g. same test on different obstypes, or different geometries), or if they have a flow-dependency with an upstream/downstream test (e.g. bator > screening > minimization).

When a test fails within a job and the user wants to re-run it without re-runnning the other tests from the same job, it is possible to do so by deactivating them^[1] :

• loops: to deactivate members of a loop: open config file conf/davai_.ini, and in the section corresponding to the job or family, the loops can be found as list(...), e.g. obstypes, rundates or geometries. Items in the list can be reduced to the only required ones (note that if only one item remains, one needs to keep a final "," within the parenthesis).

• dependency: open driver file corresponding to the job name in tasks/ directory, and comment out (#) the unrequired tasks or families of nodes, leaving only the required task.
