This nomad_ plugin was generated with Cookiecutter_ along with @nomad's cookiecutter-nomad-plugin template.

Install

You should create a virtual environment. You will need the nomad-lab package (and pytest). We recommend using Python 3.11.

python3 -m venv .pyenv
source .pyenv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e '.[dev]' --index-url https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/api/v4/projects/2187/packages/pypi/simple

Note! Until we have an official pypi NOMAD release with the plugins functionality. Make sure to include NOMAD's internal package registry (e.g. via --index-url).

Testing

You can run automated tests with pytest:

pytest -svx tests

Run linting

ruff check .

This is entirely optional. To add this as a check in github actions pipeline, uncomment the ruff-formatting step in ./github/workflows/actions.yaml.
