birdhouse/qa-dkrz repository overview

Check results are usually written to a path provided by option QC_RESULTS in a config file (or on the command-line). The default path is identical to the work-space.

The path to a work-space is provided by option '--workspace=str' and the addition of -e_qa_work=path, respectively. The workspace contains updated and/or user-modified tables, a CF test suite (after the first run of dkrz-cf-checker), and results of an example run (which is executed on the command-line by 'qa-dkrz --example'). Except the unlikely case described below, it is sufficient to apply --workspace=str only once for all. The default for a work-space depends on how QA-DKRZ was fetched: conda: $HOME/.qa-dkrz by default. GitHub: path to the QA_DKRZ package

$HOME/.qa-dkrz is the home of a configuration file used to store paths etc. . If this doesn't exist, then a file '.conf' is written to QA-DKRZ, i.e the package downloaded by 'conda' or from GitHub. The name of the configuration file depends on the method QA-DKRZ was fetched. GitHub: config.src conda: config.conda In case that QA-DKRZ is without write-permissions, then the user is asked to provide a workspace; this unlikely case requires option --workspace to be applied each time the script 'QA-DKRZ/scripts/qa-dkrz' is run.

Please, note for multi-user purpose that $HOME of each users has to exist.
