Issues processing "simulate_data_collection.py" with YW #32

Closed olyerickson closed 8 years ago

olyerickson commented 8 years ago

I attempted to process "simulate_data_collection.py" using the steps in the prototypes README and had issues that I'd like to understand...

  1. First, YW didn't understand the block comment syntax """, so it found no YW markup.
  2. I edited the file, changing to the # comment syntax; now, running...
yw extract simulate_data_collection.py -c extract.listfile

...it found the commands.

  1. Now running...
yw graph simulate_data_collection.py

...it doesn't generate anything.

I'm definitely missing something!

I'm going to clone the repo and try again...

By cloning the repo, plopping the jars in a good spot and re-running, I was able to generate what appear to be the expected results.

I barely know why, however! In particular, I'm trying to understand how various config files and stuff in subdirectories make a difference... ;)

Here are two things that should work without cloning the repo:

(1) Download just the simulate_data_collection.py script to your local system. Make sure there is no yw.properties or yw.yaml file in the directory where you save the script. Create the default graphical view of the script:

yw graph simulate_data_collection.py | dot -Tpdf -o default.pdf

Then open default.pdf in a PDF viewer. You should see a horizontally-oriented process view of the script.

(2) Into the same directory as the script above download this yw.properties file. Remove the ../ prefix from the extract.sources value, and the xsb/ prefixes from the recon.factsfile, model.factsfile, and recon.factsfile values. Create the graph according to the properties in yw.properties:

yw graph

Because the value assigned to the graph.dotfile property is combined.gv you will see no output to the terminal despite the lack of redirection or pipes on the command line. The output will be stored in combined.gv. To render this as a PDF:

 dot -Tpdf combined.gv -o combined.pdf

Does this help?
