Parameters

timeout_seconds (int) – Maximum timeout accepted for URL response. Must be an integer in the range [0;60].

class aiida.cmdline.GroupParamType(create_if_not_exist=False, sub_classes='aiida.groups:core')[source]

The ParamType for identifying Group entities or its subclasses.

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})
__init__(create_if_not_exist=False, sub_classes='aiida.groups:core')[source]

Construct the parameter type.

The sub_classes argument can be used to narrow the set of subclasses of Group that should be matched. By default all subclasses of Group will be matched, otherwise it is restricted to the subclasses that correspond to the entry point names in the tuple of sub_classes.

To prevent having to load the database environment at import time, the actual loading of the entry points is deferred until the call to convert is made. This is to keep the command line autocompletion light and responsive. The entry point strings will be validated, however, to see if they correspond to known entry points.

Parameters
  • create_if_not_exist – boolean, if True, will create the group if it does not yet exist. By default the group created will be of class Group, unless another subclass is specified through sub_classes. Note that in this case, only a single entry point name can be specified

  • sub_classes – a tuple of entry point strings from the aiida.groups entry point group.

__module__ = 'aiida.cmdline.params.types.group'
_abc_impl = <_abc_data object>

  • click.BadParameter – if the value cannot be mapped onto any existing instance

  • RuntimeError – if the defined orm class loader is not a subclass of the OrmEntityLoader class

name = 'Group'
property orm_class_loader

Return the orm entity loader class, which should be a subclass of OrmEntityLoader.

This class is supposed to be used to load the entity for a given identifier.

Returns

the orm entity loader class for this ParamType

class aiida.cmdline.IdentifierParamType(sub_classes=None)[source]

Bases: click.types.ParamType, abc.ABC

An extension of click.ParamType for a generic identifier parameter. In AiiDA, orm entities can often be identified by either their ID, UUID or optionally some LABEL identifier. This parameter type implements the convert method, which attempts to convert a value passed to the command for a parameter with this type, to an orm entity. The actual loading of the entity is delegated to the orm class loader. Subclasses of this parameter type should implement the orm_class_loader method to return the appropriate orm class loader, which should be a subclass of aiida.orm.utils.loaders.OrmEntityLoader for the corresponding orm class.

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({'orm_class_loader'})
__init__(sub_classes=None)[source]

Construct the parameter type, optionally specifying a tuple of entry points that reference classes that should be a sub class of the base orm class of the orm class loader. The classes pointed to by these entry points will be passed to the OrmEntityLoader when converting an identifier and they will restrict the query set by demanding that the class of the corresponding entity matches these sub classes.

To prevent having to load the database environment at import time, the actual loading of the entry points is deferred until the call to convert is made. This is to keep the command line autocompletion light and responsive. The entry point strings will be validated, however, to see if the correspond to known entry points.

Parameters

sub_classes – a tuple of entry point strings that can narrow the set of orm classes that values will be mapped upon. These classes have to be strict sub classes of the base orm class defined by the orm class loader

__module__ = 'aiida.cmdline.params.types.identifier'
_abc_impl = <_abc_data object>
convert(value, param, ctx)[source]

Attempt to convert the given value to an instance of the orm class using the orm class loader.

Returns

the loaded orm entity

Raises
  • click.BadParameter – if the value is ambiguous and leads to multiple entities

  • click.BadParameter – if the value cannot be mapped onto any existing instance

  • RuntimeError – if the defined orm class loader is not a subclass of the OrmEntityLoader class

abstract property orm_class_loader

Return the orm entity loader class, which should be a subclass of OrmEntityLoader. This class is supposed to be used to load the entity for a given identifier

Returns

the orm entity loader class for this ParamType

class aiida.cmdline.LazyChoice(get_choices)[source]

Bases: click.types.ParamType

This is a delegate of click’s Choice ParamType that evaluates the set of choices lazily. This is useful if the choices set requires an import that is slow.

aiida.cmdline.dbenv()[source]

Loads the dbenv for a specific region of code, does not unload afterwards

Only use when it makes it possible to avoid loading the dbenv for certain code paths

Good Example:

# do this
@click.command()
@click.option('--with-db', is_flag=True)
def profile_info(with_db):
    # read the config file
    click.echo(profile_config)

    # load the db only if necessary
    if with_db:
        with dbenv():
            # gather db statistics for the profile
            click.echo(db_statistics)

This will run very fast without the –with-db flag and slow only if database info is requested

Do not use if you will end up loading the dbenv anyway

Bad Example:

# don't do this
def my_function():
    with dbenv():
        # read from db

    # do db unrelated stuff
aiida.cmdline.echo(message, bold=False, nl=True, err=False)[source]

aiida.cmdline.echo_critical(message, bold=False, nl=True, err=True)[source]

Print an error message through click’s echo function to stdout, prefixed with ‘Critical:’ and then calls sys.exit with the given exit_status.

This should be used to print messages for errors that cannot be recovered from and so the script should be directly terminated with a non-zero exit status to indicate that the command failed

Parameters

  • bold – whether to print the message in bold

  • nl – whether to print a newline at the end of the message

  • err – whether to print to stderr

  • fmt – the format to use for printing

  • sort_keys – Whether to automatically sort keys

aiida.cmdline.echo_error(message, bold=False, nl=True, err=True)[source]

Print an error message through click’s echo function to stdout, prefixed with ‘Error:’

Parameters

  • bold – whether to print the message in bold

  • nl – whether to print a newline at the end of the message

  • err – whether to print to stderr

aiida.cmdline.echo_highlight(message, nl=True, bold=True, color='highlight')[source]

Print a highlighted message to stdout

Parameters

  • err – whether to print to stderr

aiida.cmdline.echo_success(message, bold=False, nl=True, err=False)[source]

Print a success message through click’s echo function to stdout, prefixed with ‘Success:’

Parameters
  • message – the string representing the message to print

  • bold – whether to print the message in bold include a newline character

  • nl – whether to print a newline at the end of the message

  • err – whether to print to stderr

aiida.cmdline.echo_warning(message, bold=False, nl=True, err=False)[source]

Print a warning message through click’s echo function to stdout, prefixed with ‘Warning:’

Parameters
  • message – the string representing the message to print

  • bold – whether to print the message in bold

  • nl – whether to print a newline at the end of the message

aiida.cmdline.graph_traversal_rules(rules)[source]

Apply the graph traversal rule options to the command.

aiida.cmdline.only_if_daemon_running(echo_function=<function echo_critical>, message=None)[source]

Function decorator for CLI command to print critical error and exit automatically when daemon is not running.

The error printing and exit behavior can be controlled with the decorator keyword arguments. The default message that is printed can be overridden as well as the echo function that is to be used. By default it uses the aiida.cmdline.utils.echo.echo_critical function which automatically aborts the command. The function can be substituted by for example aiida.cmdline.utils.echo.echo_warning to instead print just a warning and continue.

Example:

@only_if_daemon_running(echo_function=echo.echo_warning, message='beware that the daemon is not running')
def create_node():
    pass
Parameters
  • echo_function – echo function to issue the message, should be from aiida.cmdline.utils.echo

  • message – optional message to override the default message

aiida.cmdline.with_dbenv()[source]

Function decorator that will load the database environment for the currently loaded profile.

Note

if no profile has been loaded yet, the default profile will be loaded first.

Example:

@with_dbenv()
def create_node():
    from aiida.orm import Int  # note the local import
    node = Int(1).store()
