Overview of provSummarizeR"

provSummarizeR

Reads the provenance collected by rdtLite or rdt from execution of a script or commands in the console. Creates a human-readable summary of the provenance, including details on the computing environment, loaded libraries, scripts used, input and output files, console output, and error and warning messages. The summary is optionally saved to a text file and all related provenance files are optionally packaged in a zip file.

Installation

Install from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("End-to-end-provenance/provSummarizeR")

Once installed, load the package:

library("provSummarizeR")

Usage

The summarize functions can be used in one of three ways.

  1. To sumarize the last provenance collected in the current R session:
prov.summarize ()
  1. To summarize provenance that was collected in the past and stored in the file prov.json on the directory prov_script:
prov.summarize.file ("prov_script/prov.json")
  1. To run the script script.R, collect provenance, and summarize the provenance all in one step:
prov.summarize.run ("script.R")

All three functions have six optional parameters: details, check, console, save, create.zip, and notes.

If details is TRUE, loaded libraries (with version numbers), file details (timestamp, hash value, saved copy) and messsage details (script and line numbers) are displayed. Libraries include packages loaded by the user's code, loaded before the script started, or loaded by rdtLite or rdt. The default value of details is FALSE.

If details is FALSE, only libraries loaded by the user's code at the time of execution are displayed. Note that some libraries used by the script might have been loaded before the script was executed. Use details = TRUE to see a complete list of loaded libraries.

If check is TRUE, the user's file system is checked to see if input files, output files, and scripts (in their original locations) are unchanged, changed, or missing. File status is marked as follows: unchanged [:], changed [+], missing [-], or not checked [ ]. The default value of check is TRUE.

If console is TRUE, the summary is displayed in the console. The default value of console is TRUE.

If save is TRUE, the summary is saved to the text file prov-summary.txt or prov-summary-details.txt (depending on the value of details) and is stored in the current working directory. The default value of save is FALSE.

If create.zip is TRUE, the provenance directory is packaged into a timestamped zip file and placed in the current working directory. This file contains a copy of all input and output files and scripts used, as well as the provenance summary text file, if save is TRUE. It also includes the prov.json file containing the detailed execution trace. The default value of create.zip is FALSE.

If notes is TRUE, notes are included for how to interpret the provenance summary. The default value of notes is TRUE.

Creating the zip file depends on use of an external zip program. This feature has been tested with zip for Unix/Mac OS and with 7z on Windows. It may or may not work with other zip programs. To use a program other than zip, set the R_ZIPCMD environment variable.

Examples

Here is an example of a summary with details = FALSE. The first line contains the name of the main R script. The ENVIRONMENT section includes information describing how and when the script was executed and how the provenance was collected. The LIBRARIES section includes libraries that were loaded by the user's script along with their version numbers. The SCRIPTS section lists the main script and any scripts that were sourced. The PRE-EXISTING section lists any variables in the global environment that were used but not set by the script or console session. The INPUTS section lists any input files or URLs. The OUTPUTS section lists any output files. The CONSOLE section lists any output to the screen. The ERRORS & WARNINGS section lists any error or warning messages that were generated when the script was executed. The NOTES section explains how to intepret the provenance summary.
