Interface for Pipeline Workflows

See related tools in the IFTPipeline repository, including a Julia Command-line Interface and templates that leverage the Cylc pipeline orchestrator.

Development

Git hooks are used to run common developer tasks on commits (e.g. code formatting, tests, etc.). If you are running git version 2.9 or later run the following from the root of the project to enable git hooks.

git config core.hooksPath ./hooks

To help with passing git hooks, run the formatting script before staging files:

./scripts/format.jl
git add .
git commit -m "some informative message"
git push

Versioning the registered package

1. Update the major or minor version numbers in the corresponding field at the top of Project.toml
2. Add @JuliaRegistrator register in a comment in the commit you wish to use for the release
   • this bot will open a PR on the Julia registry for the package
3. Wait for feedback from the bot to make sure the new version is accepted and merged to the Julia registry
4. Create a new version tag
   • The bot will generate git commands that you can run in a terminal to add a tag
5. Create the new release on the repo console
   • Click on Draft a new release
   • Choose the new tag you created
   • Click on Generate release notes or add a custom description
6. Head over the ice-floe-tracker-pipeline repo and update the [compat] section of the Project.toml where IceFloeTracker is a dependency.

Note: After the PR for the release is merged, a trigger workflow will force a rebuild of Docker container used in the pipeline.
