[1.12.0]

Added

  • A new command merlin queue-info that will print the status of your celery queues
    • By default this will only pull information from active queues
    • There are options to look for specific queues (--specific-queues), queues defined in certain spec files (--spec; this is the same functionality as the merlin status command prior to this update), and queues attached to certain steps (--steps)
    • Queue info can be dumped to outfiles with --dump
  • A new command merlin detailed-status that displays task-by-task status information about your study
    • This has options to filter by return code, task queues, task statuses, and workers
    • You can set a limit on the number of tasks to display
    • There are 3 options to modify the output display
  • Docs for all of the monitoring commands
  • New file merlin/study/status.py dedicated to work relating to the status command
    • Contains the Status and DetailedStatus classes
  • New file merlin/study/status_renderers.py dedicated to formatting the output for the detailed-status command
  • New file merlin/common/dumper.py containing a Dumper object to help dump output to outfiles
  • Study name and parameter info now stored in the DAG and MerlinStep objects
  • Added functions to merlin/display.py that help display status information:
    • display_task_by_task_status handles the display for the merlin detailed-status command
    • display_status_summary handles the display for the merlin status command
    • display_progress_bar generates and displays a progress bar
  • Added new methods to the MerlinSpec class:
    • get_worker_step_map()
    • get_queue_step_relationship()
    • get_tasks_per_step()
    • get_step_param_map()
  • Added methods to the MerlinStepRecord class to mark status changes for tasks as they run (follows Maestro's StepRecord format mostly)
  • Added methods to the Step class:
    • establish_params()
    • name_no_params()
  • Added a property paramater_labels to the MerlinStudy class
  • Added two new utility functions:
    • dict_deep_merge() that deep merges two dicts into one
    • ws_time_to_dt() that converts a workspace timestring (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS) to a datetime object
  • A new celery task condense_status_files to be called when sets of samples finish
  • Added a celery config setting worker_cancel_long_running_tasks_on_connection_loss since this functionality is about to change in the next version of celery
  • Tests for the Status and DetailedStatus classes
    • this required adding a decent amount of test files to help with the tests; these can be found under the tests/unit/study/status_test_files directory
  • Pytest fixtures in the conftest.py file of the integration test suite
    • NOTE: an export command export LC_ALL='C' had to be added to fix a bug in the WEAVE CI. This can be removed when we resolve this issue for the merlin server command
  • Tests for the celeryadapter.py module
  • New CeleryTestWorkersManager context to help with starting/stopping workers for tests

Changed

  • Reformatted the entire merlin status command
    • Now accepts both spec files and workspace directories as arguments
    • Removed the --steps flag
    • Replaced the --csv flag with the --dump flag
    • New functionality:
      • Shows step_by_step progress bar for tasks
      • Displays a summary of task statuses below the progress bar
  • Split the add_chains_to_chord function in merlin/common/tasks.py into two functions:
    • get_1d_chain which converts a 2D list of chains into a 1D list
    • launch_chain which launches the 1D chain
  • Pulled the needs_merlin_expansion() method out of the Step class and made it a function instead
  • Removed tabulate_info function; replaced with tabulate from the tabulate library
  • Moved verify_filepath and verify_dirpath from merlin/main.py to merlin/utils.py
  • The entire documentation has been ported to MkDocs and re-organized
    • Dark Mode
    • New "Getting Started" example for a simple setup tutorial
    • More detail on configuration instructions
    • There's now a full page on installation instructions
    • More detail on explaining the spec file
    • More detail with the CLI page
    • New "Running Studies" page to explain different ways to run studies, restart them, and accomplish command line substitution
    • New "Interpreting Output" page to help users understand how the output workspace is generated in more detail
    • New "Examples" page has been added
    • Updated "FAQ" page to include more links to helpful locations throughout the documentation
    • Set up a place to store API docs
    • New "Contact" page with info on reaching Merlin devs
  • The Merlin tutorial defaults to using Singularity rather than Docker for the OpenFoam example. Minor tutorial fixes have also been applied.

Fixed

  • The merlin status command so that it's consistent in its output whether using redis or rabbitmq as the broker
  • The merlin monitor command will now keep an allocation up if the queues are empty and workers are still processing tasks
  • Add the restart keyword to the specification docs
  • Cyclical imports and config imports that could easily cause ci issues
