Using as a lib

In your environment:

$ pip install hmrs-mission-control

Setup Development Envrionment

Environment dependencies

python 3, pip

Used IDE: vscode, plugin python

macOS aditional dependencies brew install libmagic

Development

Install poetry

poetry easy the process of managing python dependencies

PIP

$ pip install poetry

Alternatively, macOS brew

$ brew install poetry 

Install dependencies

Inside the project folder (after clone)

$ poetry install
$ poetry shell

Run a Controlled Experiment

Inside poetry environment (after poetry shell)

 python evaluation/experiment_gen_lab_samples/experiment_gen.py

Test

Tests should be put on /tests folder and are executed with the following command.

 $ poetry run pytest -v --cov .

Linter

 $ flake8 --statistics

Run

Select the exec shell

$ poetry shell

Then, Execute Simulation

$ python ./run.py

Dependency

Add New Dependency

To add new dependencies use the following command.

$ poetry install [name]

This command will add the dependency to the Pipfile and poetry.lock assuring that the execution can be reproduced in another environment (after dependencies are updated with poetry install command )

Add New Dev Dependency

Same as previous dependencies, but for development libraries such as the ones used for test.

$ poetry install [name] --dev

Note that other systems after pulling updates will need a reexecution of poetry install --dev
