Workflow Template

This repository contains the template for a GridLAB-D workflow project.

Concept of Operations

Workflow projects are GridLAB-D simulations that require multiple steps to complete. The actions are specified in the files, e.g., .github/workflows/main.yml.

Testing locally

Before running act using your local docker installation, you must add the following to ~/.actrc:

--container-daemon-socket -
--artifact-server-path artifacts

You can test your new workflow project locally before deploying it on GitHub using act. See https://github.com/nektos/act for details. After installing act you can run the command

docker pull lfenergy/arras:latest
act -P gridlabd=lfenergy/arras:latest -W .github/workflows/main.yml

where main.yml is the name your workflow YML file.

Customization

There are number of options that can be customized in your workflow.

• Container name: You can change the name and version of the container by changing the value of runs_on.
