Description
Summary:
As discussed in #689.
The current behavior when exe_file=None, compile=False yields a broken object - essentially all methods other than compile() cannot be called until after compile() is called.
I think it should be factored such that:
cmdstanpy.compile(stan_file, force=False, stanc_args={}, cmdstan_args={}) -> str
is a function outside of any class which invokes make as requested.
And the constructor looks like
CmdStanMLE(stan_file=None, exe_file=None, force_compile=False, stanc_args={}, cmdstan_args={})
This raises an error if:
- stan_file and exe_file are both None, or
- force_compile is True but stanc_file was None
Otherwise, it will always be the case that when the constructor is finished, we have an executable ready for use (either because the user supplied one, or because we compiled it)
This would be a 2.0 change
