Do i need individual rules files for each relation? #117

Closed SindhuBairavi closed 7 years ago

SindhuBairavi commented 7 years ago

We need to specify the Relation in the rules.py, but it accepts only 1 relation at a time, so does that mean I need to create separate rules file for each relation? And if i run the rule_runner script, which relation would it pick up?

I'm afraid that there's no support for such a thing right now.

It shouldn't be hard to refactor the code for making this possible, so if you think you can do this contribution, let me know and I can guide you.

On the other hand, an ugly and not very elegant way of overcoming to this for you may be:

Later, when you want to work with relation A

I handled this problem, adding an extra argument to the rule decorator called "relation_name", so each rule have a relation associated with (this was the most intuitive way to solve it for me). So that was the only change i did to the framework, the rest of the work was on my own instance, defining an attribute RELATIONS in the file rules.py as a list of relation names (instead of the RELATION attribute), and adapting the bin/iepy_rules_runner.py to handle a list of relations names. For example: Calling the RuleBasedCore inside of a loop iterating over the relations names, for each relation and its related rules.

I'm still working on my project but until now, seems to work fine.

Awesome Ariel

Do you think it's possible to make a pull request (against develop branch) with such changes?

Would consist on the changes you mentioned on the "framework" plus also the changes you did on iepy_rules_runner.py (the repo file for it is here https://github.com/machinalis/iepy/blob/develop/iepy/instantiation/iepy_rules_runner.py)
