Quickstart Guide
Link to GitHub Repository
You should link the root folder of this project to an existing repository on GitHub.
- First, initialize your local project folder with
git init
. - If you don't have a remote repository yet, you should create one on GitHub (a sensible name for the repository would be autora-experimentalist-probability-sequence-random). If you already have a remote repository on Github, you can jump to Step 3.
- Link the local project folder to the remote repository via
git remote add origin https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git
. See this guide for more instructions. - To ensure that the remote repository has been added correctly, you can run
git remote -v
from within the project folder.
Virtual Environment
Install this in an environment using your chosen package manager. In this example we are using virtualenv
Install:
- python (3.8 or greater): https://www.python.org/downloads/
- virtualenv: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation.html
Create a new virtual environment:
virtualenv venv
Note: You want to ensure that the python version matches that of autora. If necessary
you can specify the respective python version directly, e.g., virtualenv venv --python=python3.9
Activate it:
source venv/bin/activate
Install Dev Dependencies
Use pip install
to install the current project ("."
) in editable mode (-e
) with dev-dependencies ([dev]
):
pip install -e ".[dev]"
Note: You may install new dependencies via pip install packagename
inside your virtual environment. If those
dependencies are vital to your package, you will have to add them to the pyproject.toml
(see Step 6 of the
Contribution Guide).
Contribution Guide
Experimentalist
A method that identifies novel experiment conditions $X'$ that yield scientific merit.
Example: The Novelty Experimentalist selects novel experiment
conditions $X'$ with respect to a pairwise distance metric applied to existing experiment conditions $X$.
More information on how to implement an AutoRA experimentalist component can be found in the respective contributor documentation.
Step 1: Implement Your Code
You may now add your code to src/autora/experimentalist/probability_sequence_random/__init__.py
file. You may
also add additional files in this folder. Just make sure to import the core function or class of your feature
in the __init__.py
if it is implemented elsewhere.
Step 2 (Optional): Add Tests
It is highly encouraged to add unit tests to ensure your code is working as intended. These can be doctests or test cases in tests/test_probability_sequence_random.py
.
Note: Tests are required if you wish that your feature becomes part of the main autora package. However, regardless of whether you choose to implement tests, you will still be able to install your package separately, in addition to autora.
Step 3 (Optional): Add Documentation
It is highly encouraged that you add documentation of your package in your docs/index.md
. You can also add new pages
in the docs
folder. Update the mkdocs.yml
file to reflect structure of the documentation. For example, you can add
new pages or delete pages that you deleted from the docs
folder.
Note: Documentation is required if you wish that your feature becomes part of the main autora package. However, regardless of whether you choose to write documentation, you will still be able to install your package separately, in addition to autora.
Step 4: Add Dependencies
In pyproject.toml add the new dependencies under dependencies
Install the added dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
Step 5: Publish Your Package
Once your project is implemented, you may publish it as subpackage of AutoRA. If you have not thoroughly vetted your project or would otherwise like to refine it further, you may nervous about the state of your package–you will be able to publish it as a pre-release, indicating to users that the package is still in progress.
Step 5.1: Update Metadata
To begin publishing your package, update the metadata under project
in the pyproject.toml file to include
- name
- description
- author-name
- author-email
Also, update the URL for the repository under
project.urls
.
Step 5.2 Publish via GitHub Actions
To automate the publishing process for your package, you can use a GitHub action:
- Add a github secret in your repository named PYPI_API_TOKEN, that contains a PyPI token of your account
- Add the GitHub action to the
.github/workflows
directory: For example, you can use the default publishing action:- Navigate to the
actions
on the GitHub website of your repository. - Search for the
Publish Python Package
action and add it to your project
- Navigate to the
- Create a new release: Click on
create new release
on the GitHub website of your repository. - Choose a tag (this is the version number of the release. If you didn't set up dynamic versioning it should match the version in the
pyproject.toml
file) - Generate release notes automatically by clicking
generate release
, which adds the markdown of the merged pull requests and the contributors. - If this is a pre-release check the box
set as pre-release
- Click on
publish release
Step 6: Add the package to autora
Once your package is working and published, you can make a pull request on
autora
to have it vetted and added to the "parent" package.
To do so, you'll need to clone the parent repository, add your package to it as an optional dependency, and make sure your documentation is imported.
Then create a pull request with the changes to let us know about your contribution.
Add the package as optional dependency
In the pyproject.toml
file of your cloned autora
package,
add an optional dependency for your new package in the [project.optional-dependencies]
section:
example-contribution = ["autora-example-contribution==1.0.0"]
!!! success Ensure you include the version number.
Add the example-contribution to be part of the corresponding all-contribution-type dependencies:
all-contribution-type = [
...
"autora[example-contribution]",
...
]
Add documentation from the package repository
Import your documentation in the mkdocs.yml
of the autora
package:
- User Guide:
- Contribution Type:
- Overview: 'contribution-type/overview.md'
...
- Example Contribution: '!import https://github.com/example-contributor/example-contribution/?branch=v1.0.0&extra_imports=["mkdocs/base.yml"]'
...
