You should be able to cd
to an empty directory and re-run compose
on the simulation object. That being said, a recompose
option would be nice to have!
The experiment directory should always be non existing, otherwise it will complain that the directory exists. But I am not sure if you mean that by your comment.
You can use os.mkdir()
and/or os.chdir()
to create or switch to an
empty directory and then rerun compose. That should work, in theory. If it
doesn't, then there should be a code change to support that.

The heart of the matter is that the (run-time) model-side namelist goes into the model object and when it is restored, the model-side namelist from compile-time is restored.
I think the most elegant way to handle this is a Model.restore()
method which takes an optional model-side namelist path and warns when it is not supplied.
In the mean time, one can manually edit this but it's not very elegant.
Simply recomposing wont solve the problem which is that a pickled model object has a previous model-side name list. Alternatively, pickling the model object could remove that namelist and then the namelist path i suggested previously would be required. There are pros and cons.
I'd have to look, but I'm not sure you can compose twice (without starting over). IE, I think that compose flags something in the simulation object like is_composed
.
Composed is a bad term (joe and I argued over this), because the solution is to "recompose" the simulation object (start it over) and then compose to a new/fresh dir.
When I added a new namelist configuration to the json files, I had to recompile. Compilation should be independent of the json files except from the compile json file, but I do not think they are. I usually recompile with every change in the json files to be cautious but sometime I forget and I get into trouble.
