ecflow.UrlCmd

class ecflow.UrlCmd

Bases: instance

Executes a command ECF_URL_CMD to display a url.

It needs the definition structure and the path to node.

Constructor:

UrlCmd(defs, node_path)
   defs_ptr  defs   : pointer to a definition structure
   string node_path : The node path.

Exceptions

• raises RuntimeError if the definition is empty

• raises RuntimeError if the node path is empty

• raises RuntimeError if the node path cannot be found in the definition

Usage: Lets assume that the server has the following definition:

suite s
   edit ECF_URL_CMD  "${BROWSER:=firefox} -new-tab %ECF_URL_BASE%/%ECF_URL%"
   edit ECF_URL_BASE "http://www.ecmwf.int"
   family f
      task t1
         edit ECF_URL "publications/manuals/ecflow"
      task t2
         edit ECF_URL index.html

try:
   ci = Client()
   ci.sync_local()
   url = UrlCmd(ci.get_defs(),'/suite/family/task')
   print(url.execute())
except RuntimeError, e:
    print(str(e))
