nomad-oasis-schema-parser-plugin

Specialised magres parser + custom schema package for the CCP-NC NOMAD Oasis.

This nomad plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @nomad's cookiecutter-nomad-plugin template.

Development

If you want to develop locally this plugin, clone the project and in the plugin folder, create a virtual environment (you can use Python 3.10, 3.11 or 3.12):

git clone https://github.com/CCP-NC/nomad-oasis-schema-parser-plugin.git
cd nomad-oasis-schema-parser-plugin
python3.11 -m venv .pyenv
. .pyenv/bin/activate

Make sure to have pip upgraded:

pip install --upgrade pip

We recommend installing uv for fast pip installation of the packages:

pip install uv

Install the nomad-lab package:

uv pip install -e '.[dev]'

Run the tests

You can run locally the tests:

python -m pytest -sv tests

where the -s and -v options toggle the output verbosity.

Our CI/CD pipeline produces a more comprehensive test report using the pytest-cov package. You can generate a local coverage report:

uv pip install pytest-cov
python -m pytest --cov=src tests

Run linting and auto-formatting

We use Ruff for linting and formatting the code. Ruff auto-formatting is also a part of the GitHub workflow actions. You can run locally:

ruff check .
ruff format . --check

Debugging

For interactive debugging of the tests, use pytest with the --pdb flag. We recommend using an IDE for debugging, e.g., VSCode. If that is the case, add the following snippet to your .vscode/launch.json:

{
  "configurations": [
      {
        "name": "<descriptive tag>",
        "type": "debugpy",
        "request": "launch",
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/.pyenv/bin/pytest",
        "justMyCode": true,
        "env": {
            "_PYTEST_RAISE": "1"
        },
        "args": [
            "-sv",
            "--pdb",
            "<path-to-plugin-tests>",
        ]
    }
  ]
}

where <path-to-plugin-tests> must be changed to the local path to the test module to be debugged.

The settings configuration file .vscode/settings.json automatically applies the linting and formatting upon saving the modified file.

Adding this plugin to NOMAD

Currently, NOMAD has two distinct flavors that are relevant depending on your role as an user:

1. A NOMAD Oasis: any user with a NOMAD Oasis instance.
2. Local NOMAD installation and the source code of NOMAD: internal developers.

Adding this plugin in your NOMAD Oasis

Read the NOMAD plugin documentation for all details on how to deploy the plugin on your NOMAD instance.

Adding this plugin in your local NOMAD installation and the source code of NOMAD

We now recommend using the dedicated nomad-distro-dev repository to simplify the process. Please refer to that repository for detailed instructions.

Template update

We use cruft to update the project based on template changes. To run the check for updates locally, run cruft update in the root of the project. More details see the instructions on cruft website.
