biosimulators_utils.simulator.cli.build_cli(cli_name=None, cli_version=None, simulator_name=None, simulator_version=None, simulator_url=None, combine_archive_executer=None, environment_variables=None)[source]#

Create a BioSimulators-compliant command-line application for a biosimulation tool.

The command-line application will have two inputs

  • A path to a COMBINE/OMEX archive that describes one or more simulations or one or more models

  • A path to a directory to store the outputs of the execution of the simulations defined in the archive

The command-line application will also support two additional commands

  • A command for printing help information about the command-line application (-h, –help)

  • A command for printing version information about the command-line application (-v, –version)

Parameters:
  • cli_name (str) – name of the command-line program (e.g., copasi)

  • cli_version (str, optional) – version of the command-line application

  • simulator_name (str) – name of the simulator (e.g., COPASI)

  • simulator_version (str, optional) – version of the simulator

  • simulator_url (str, optional) – URL for information about the simulator

  • combine_archive_executer (types.FunctionType) – a function which has two positional arguments * The path to the COMBINE/OMEX archive * The path to the directory to save the outputs of the simulations defined in the archive

  • environment_variables (list of EnvironmentVariable, optional) – description of the environment variables recognized by the simulator

Returns:

command-line application

Return type:

cement.App

Raises:

SystemExit – if the execution of the COMBINE/OMEX archive fails

Use a containerized simulator tool to execute the tasks specified in a COMBINE/OMEX archive and generate the reports specified in the archive

Parameters:
  • archive_filename (str) – path to a COMBINE/OMEX archive

  • out_dir (str) – directory where outputs should be saved

  • docker_image (str) – tag (e.g., biosimulators/tellurium) or URL (ghcr.io/biosimulators/tellurium) for a Docker image of a simulator

  • docker_image_temp_dir (str, optional) – Path to the temporary directory within the Docker image (e.g., /tmp for Linux images, C:\Users\{ user }\AppData\Local\Temp for Windows images). The path can either be an absolute path or a path relative to the working directory of the image.

  • docker_image_path_sep (str, optional) – Path separator for the image (e.g., / for Linux, Mac OS, Unix images; \ for Windows images)

  • environment (dict, optional) – environment variables for executing the Docker image

  • pull_docker_image (bool, optional) – if True, pull the Docker image (if the image isn’t available locally, this will cause the image to be downloaded; this will cause the image to be updated)

  • user_to_exec_within_container (str, optional) –

    username or user id to execute commands within the Docker container

    • Use _CURRENT_USER_ to indicate that the Docker container should execute commands as the current user (os.getuid())

    • Use the format <name|uid>[:<group|gid>] to indicate any other user/group that the Docker container should use to execute commands

  • allocate_tty (bool, optional) – if True, allocate a pseudo-TTY

  • remove_docker_container (bool, optional) – if True, automatically remove the container when it exits

Raises:

RuntimeError – if the execution failed

biosimulators_utils.simulator.exec.exec_sedml_docs_in_archive_with_simulator_cli(archive_filename, out_dir, simulator_command, environment=None)[source]#

Parameters:
  • archive_filename (str) – path to a COMBINE/OMEX archive

  • out_dir (str) – directory where outputs should be saved

  • simulator_command (str) – system command for the simulator to execute

  • environment (dict, optional) – environment variables for executing the Docker image

Raises:

RuntimeError – if the execution failed
