create_workflow: Create a new workflow

In AdrienLeGuillou/slurmworkflow: Build workflows for the Slurm workload manager

Description

Create a new workflow, set up it's directory and return its summary object

Usage

create_workflow(wf_name, default_sbatch_opts, wf_common_dir = "workflows")

Arguments

wf_name	Name of the new workflow
default_sbatch_opts	A named list of default sbatch options for the workflow. The "account" and "partition" options are mandatory. (see the SBATCH Options section for details).
wf_common_dir	Path to the directory where to store the workflows (default = "workflows").

Value

The new workflow summary

SBATCH Options

The sbatch_opts named list accepts all existing arguments to sbatch. It only works with the long form (e.g. "job-name" instead of "J"). The full list of arguments is available in the sbacth documentation. Some arguments like "mem", "mem-per-cpu" and "mem-per-gpu" are mutually exclusive, providing multiple of them will result in an error. However, if one is set at the creation of the workflow in default_sbatch_opts (e.g. "mem") and another at the addition of a step in sbatch_opts (e.g. "mem-per-gpu"), the second one will be used.
