v0.2.18 (April 2021)

[0.2.18] - 2021.04.10

Fixed

• Fix misleading error message when a task parameter specified as a file path does not actually exist as a file.
• Fix bug where if all possible dependency pathways are circularly dependent, this is not caught by MatFlow. Fix #88.
• Fix issue with accessing parameter data with dot-notation via their "safe names". Fix #87.

Added

• Add new parameter key ignore_dependency_from, which is a list of task names. This allows us to exclude tasks when considering the dependencies of this parameter. Fix #89.
• Allow embedding file-path inputs (inputs that are text files) into the HDF5 file. Fix #86.
• Add Task.unique_name property which adds on the non-trivial Task.context to Task.name.
• Tasks can be accessed from the task list via dot-notation. Fix #90.
• Add Task.elements_idx property to retrieve to correct elements_idx dict for that task.
• Add new exception type: ParameterImportError.
• Add ability to import parameters from existing workflows. Fix #30

Changed

• Non-trivial task contexts are now part of the task directory name to help distinguish task directories where multiple contexts are used. Fix #50.
• Add context argument to Workflow.get_input_tasks and Workflow.get_output_tasks.
