- Removed `finalize`, replaced it with `validate`
- Added `to_pod` and `from_pod` methods
- `set` and `update_config` now take (and forward) `check_mandatory`
This complex function handles merging of config with two priorities in mind.
The specificity of the config (`device_config` vs `nexus10`) and the priorty
of the source.
Added "JobSpecSource" as a base class for both section tree nodes and
workload entries. This adds a common interface between them for:
- Resolving names
- Storing configuration
- References to parents
- Getting IDs out of configuration
All config now uses configuration points
Config parsing is now done in destinct stages
- first all files are parsed and sent to their corresponding config objects or to a tree
- tree is traversed to generate job specs.
In the process removed modules and boot_strap.py. Also Renamed extensions Plugins.
Louie is now monkey patched rather than containing a modified version in external
Previously you could have `override` set to True on parameters that
only existed in the current scope.
Now if you try to override a parameter that doesn't exist higher up
in the hiarchy you will get a ValueError.
Previously if parameters with the same names and override set to True
were added to an extension at the same level one would silently
override the other.
This is no longer the case and an error will be show instead.
Also added tests to check that this is handeled correctly
- Two different parameters may now have the same global alias as long as
their types match
- `extension_asset` resource getter now picks up the path to the mouted
filer from ``remote_assets_path`` global setting.
Failed jobs will now be automatically retired. This is controlled by two
new settings:
retry_on_status - a list of statuses which will be consided failures and
result in a retry
max_retries - number of retries before giving up
Dynamic modules may be loaded automatically on device initialization if
the device supports them. Dynamic modules implent probe() method to
determine whether they are supported by a particular deviced.
devcpufreq and cpuidle have been converted into dynamic modules
- standardisded on a single context argument
- removed Device.init() no longer necessary as initilize now
automatically gets propagated up the hierarchy. Renamed the existing
use of it to "initilize".
- related pylint cleanup.
