Met Office Rose Stem Groups

Note

These notes only apply to the meto site - other sites may have set up their groups differently

The lfric_apps rose-stem uses groups it’s tasks. Any combination of these groups or individual tasks can be selected by --group=group1,group2,task1,task2 when running rose stem from the command line.

For running the test-suite for submitting a ticket, there are two main standard groups, one of which will likely need to be run:

Group	Description
developer	Suitable for most tickets, this runs a selection of groups providing a broad coverage.
all	This runs all tasks with stored kgo (including those in developer). This should be run when you have kgo changes.

In addition to these, various standard groups have also been set up to aid with more targeted testing when developing a change. These standard groups follow the naming format APPLICATION_PLATFORM_JOB-TYPE. Any number of these sections can be used, but they will always be in that order. For example:

gungho_model	All gungho_model tasks
gungho_model_spice_developer	The gungho_model developer tasks on spice
xc40_unit_tests	The unit tests on the xc40
unit_tests	All unit tests

The following job-types are available (they are not all necessarily available for all applications):

Job-Type
developer
all
unit_tests
integration_tests
build

Finally, it is anticipated that various science sections within an application will get their own groups - to view what other groups are available see the relevant applications groups file in rose-stem/site/meto/groups/.
