celeri_report.py default paper #104

Closed brendanjmeade closed 2 years ago

@jploveless I'm looking to figure out the best default behavior for celeri_report and I'd welcome your thoughts.

  1. Current state:

    • No passed arguments: look in /runs directory and report statistics on current run
    • --folder_name_1 only report statistics for specified folder
    • --folder_name_1 and --folder_name_2 diff statistics for specified folders

  2. Proposal:

    • No passed arguments: look in /runs directory and report diff statistics for two most recent folders
    • This is the thing we want to do most frequently
    • If only one folder exists, report statistics for the only extant folder
    • --folder_name_1 only report statistics for specified folder
    • --folder_name_1 and --folder_name_2 diff statistics for specified folders

Thoughts?

I think this proposal makes the most sense, as you're right that the most common use case is a comparison.

Given how similar the timestamp-based run directory names are, I wonder if we could add shortcuts for directory names in reverse chronological order, i.e. 0 is the most recent run, 1 is the previous, 2 is before that. I set up something like this in Blocks, editing your newdir.m function to take a single optional input argument that would count backwards. Absolute pathnames are always going to least ambiguous, but I wonder if this would help speed up quick comparisons across a sequence of runs.

Thanks, @jploveless and this is accomplished with https://github.com/brendanjmeade/celeri/commit/ab3a01df5a72758c505778d677dd7e0e14b3cff3.
