Command Line Interface to buildtest configuration (buildtest config)

Once you have implemented your buildtest configuration, you can query the configuration details using buildtest config command. Shown below is the command usage.

buildtest config --help
$ buildtest config --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] config [-h]  ...

options:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit

subcommands:
  Query information from buildtest configuration file

  
    edit (e)         Open configuration file in editor
    path (p)         Show path to configuration file
    systems          List all available systems
    validate (val)   Validate buildtest settings file with schema.
    view (v)         View configuration file
    profiles (prof)  Query profile from buildtest configuration
    executors (ex)   Query executors from buildtest configuration
    compilers (co)   Search compilers

Note

buildtest cg is an alias for buildtest config command.

Validate buildtest configuration (buildtest config validate)

First thing you should do once you implement your configuration file is to make sure your configuration is valid with the schema. This can be achieved by running buildtest config validate. When you invoke this command, buildtest will load the configuration and attempt to validate the file with schema settings.schema.json. If validation is successful you will get the following message:

$ buildtest config validate
/tmp/tmprj880ro7/config.yml is valid

Note

If you defined a user setting (~/.buildtest/config.yml) buildtest will validate this file instead of default one.

If there is an error during validation, the output from jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError will be displayed in terminal. For example the error below indicates that moduletool property was expecting one of the values [environment-modules, lmod, N/A] but it received a value of none:

Invalid buildtest configuration

View buildtest configuration (buildtest config view)

If you want to view buildtest configuration you can run buildtest config view which will print content of buildtest configuration.

The --theme option can be used to change the color theme of the output. The default theme is monokai and list of available themes can be retrieved with tab completion for option buildtest config view --theme.

Check path to buildtest configuration file (buildtest config path)

If you want to check path to buildtest configuration file you can run buildtest config path which will print path of buildtest configuration file.

$ buildtest config path
/tmp/tmprj880ro7/config.yml

Edit buildtest configuration (buildtest config edit)

The buildtest config edit command is used to open buildtest configuration file in your preferred editor. buildtest will use the environment EDITOR to get the preffered editor; however, one can override the environment variable via command line option buildtest --editor.

View Executors (buildtest config executors list)

You can use the command buildtest config executors list to view executors from buildtest configuration file. Shown below is the command usage

buildtest config executors list --help
$ buildtest config executors list --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] config executors list
       [-h] [-j | -y | -d | -i | -a]

options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  -j, --json      View executor in JSON format
  -y, --yaml      View executors in YAML format
  -d, --disabled  Show disabled executors
  -i, --invalid   Show invalid executors
  -a, --all       Show all executors

You can run buildtest config executors list without any options and it will report a list of named executors that you would reference in buildspec using the executor property.

$ buildtest config executors list
generic.local.bash
generic.local.sh
generic.local.csh
generic.local.zsh

If you want to see the executor details, you may want to use --json or --yaml option which will show the executor settings in YAML or JSON format. Shown below is an example output

buildtest config executors list --yaml
$ buildtest config executors list --yaml
executors:
  local:
    bash:
      description: submit jobs on local machine using bash shell
      shell: bash
    csh:
      description: submit jobs on local machine using csh shell
      shell: csh
    sh:
      description: submit jobs on local machine using sh shell
      shell: sh
    zsh:
      description: submit jobs on local machine using zsh shell
      shell: zsh
buildtest config executors list --json
$ buildtest config executors list --json
{
  "executors": {
    "local": {
      "bash": {
        "description": "submit jobs on local machine using bash shell",
        "shell": "bash"
      },
      "sh": {
        "description": "submit jobs on local machine using sh shell",
        "shell": "sh"
      },
      "csh": {
        "description": "submit jobs on local machine using csh shell",
        "shell": "csh"
      },
      "zsh": {
        "description": "submit jobs on local machine using zsh shell",
        "shell": "zsh"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note

The command options for buildtest config executors list are mutually exclusive, so if you specify multiple options you will get the following error.

$ buildtest config executors list --json --yaml
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] config executors list
       [-h] [-j | -y | -d | -i | -a]
buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] config executors list: error: argument -y/--yaml: not allowed with argument -j/--json

Remove Executors (buildtest config executors remove)

The buildtest config executors remove command will remove an executor from buildtest configuration file. The positional arguments are the name of the executor you want to remove. Tab completion is available to retrieve all available executors (buildtest config executors list --all).

Shown below we see tab completion on available executors that can be removed.

  buildtest config executors remove
generic.local.bash  generic.local.csh   generic.local.sh    generic.local.zsh

Let’s try listing all executors and remove generic.local.zsh executor, you will notice after deletion, the configuration file is updated and the executor is no longer present.

Removing executor ‘generic.local.zsh’
$ buildtest --config $BUILDTEST_CI_DIR/config.yml config executors list --all
generic.local.bash
generic.local.sh
generic.local.csh
generic.local.zsh
$ buildtest --config $BUILDTEST_CI_DIR/config.yml config executors remove generic.local.zsh
Removing executor: generic.local.zsh
Updating configuration file: /tmp/tmprj880ro7/config.yml

Upon deletion, buildtest will validate the configuration before writing the changes back to disk, to ensure the configuration is valid. Shown below we demonstrate an example where we attempt to remove all executors from the configuration file. Buildtest expects there is atleast 1 executor definition for local executor.

buildtest config executors remove generic.local.bash generic.local.sh generic.local.csh generic.local.zsh
$ buildtest config executors remove generic.local.bash generic.local.sh generic.local.csh generic.local.zsh
Removing executor: generic.local.bash
Removing executor: generic.local.sh
Removing executor: generic.local.csh
Unable to remove executor: generic.local.zsh because there are no executors of type: local

View Registered Systems (buildtest config systems)

Your buildtest configuration may compose of one or more systems since you can define multiple systems in a single configuration file to run buildtest for different HPC clusters. You can use buildtest config systems to report all system details defined in your configuration file. In this example below we should the generic system. If you have multiple entries, you will see one entry per system record.
