Description

The dorie script for running all user tasks of DORiE is currently separated from the remaining Python environment. As implemented in https://ts-gitlab.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/utopia/utopia, we can also install it as a script of the Python environment. We can then access it directly after entering the virtualenv. This relaxes the requirement of fiddling with the PATH variable. It also serves as preparation for future additions (regarding especially #86 (closed)), where Python scripts will be executed on input files before DORiE can run. Once inside the virtualenv, all required Python packages for these tasks are readily installed.

The workflow with virtualenv is as follows:

# activate virtualenv
source <path/to>dorie/build-cmake/activate
cd <some/where>
# dorie command always available
dorie create
dorie run
# deactivate virtualenv
deactivate

Proposal

• Move the dorie script into python/dorie/wrapper/ and install it with the Python modules.
  • Modify dorie wrapper directory for tests
  • Modify CI scripts
• Change the documentation and README.md: How to use virtualenv.
• Modify Docker application: Entrypoint will be the activated virtualenv. Users can then issue multiple commands from within the same container.

How to test the implementation?

• Pipeline still works.
• Verify that usage of Docker application works.
