AiiDA plugin for running the GULP code.

Documentation: https://readthedocs.org/projects/aiida-gulp

Installation

To install from Conda (recommended)::

>> conda install -c conda-forge aiida-gulp aiida-core.services

To install from pypi::

>> pip install aiida-gulp

To install the development version:

>> git clone https://github.com/chrisjsewell/aiida-gulp .
>> cd aiida-gulp
>> pip install -e .  # also installs aiida, if missing (but not postgres)
>> #pip install -e .[pre-commit,testing] # install extras for more features
>> verdi quicksetup  # set up a new profile
>> verdi calculation plugins  # should now show the calculation plugins (with prefix gulp.)

Development

Testing against mock GULP executables

Because GULP is a licensed software, it is not possible to source a copy of the executable on Travis CI. Therefore, a mock executable (gulp_mock) has been created for testing purposes (which also speeds up test runs).

This executable computes the md5 hash of the supplied input file and tries to match it against a dictionary of precomputed hashes. If found, the executable will write the matching output (from test/output_files) to stdout.

The following will discover and run all unit test:

>> pip install -e .[testing]
>> reentry scan -r aiida
>> pytest -v

To omit tests which call external executables (like gulp):

>> pytest --gulp-skip-exec

To call the actual executable (e.g. gulp instead of gulp_mock):

>> pytest --gulp-no-mock

To output the results of calcjob executions to a specific directory:

>> pytest --gulp-workdir "test_workdir"

Coding Style Requirements

The code style is tested using flake8, with the configuration set in .flake8, and code should be formatted with black.

Installing with aiida-gulp[code_style] makes the pre-commit package available, which will ensure these tests are passed by reformatting the code and testing for lint errors before submitting a commit. It can be setup by:

>> cd aiida-gulp
>> pre-commit install

Optionally you can run black and flake8 separately:

>> black .  # recursively find and format files in-place
>> flake8

Editors like VS Code also have automatic code reformat utilities, which can adhere to this standard.
