8. Testing run

This step will attempt to run your model component using the MIC wrapper and will validate that the expected output files are successfully generated.

How to perform this step?

Type mic pkg run. Below is the result obtained with our simple Java model:

$ (climate) root@2417929e507e:/tmp/mint# mic pkg run
Found mic.yaml in /tmp/mint/mic/mic.yaml
MIC needs to create new directory mic/executions/04_15_01_50_06 to run the model component Do you want to continue [Y/n]: Y
Create a execution directory /tmp/mint/mic/executions/04_15_01_50_06

To prevent resizing, make your input image divisible by the macro_block_size or set the macro_block_size to 1 (risking incompatibility).

[success] The model has exited with code SUCCESS
[success] The model has generated the output results/results.mp4
[success] The model has generated the output results/results.nc
Success
You can see the result at /tmp/mint/mic/executions/04_15_01_50_06
The next step is `mic pkg upload`
The step is going to upload the MIC Wrapper to GitHub, the DockerImage on DockerHub and the Model Configuration on the MINT Model Catalog
You model has passed all the tests. Please, review the outputs files.
If the model is ok, type "exit" to go back to your computer
IMPORTANT: type "exit" and then upload your Model Component

MIC will ask permission to create a folder, which will be placed under executions in the mic folder. MIC tested whether the execution of the model component finished successfully and whether the expected outputs (results.nc and results.mp4) were generated. After inspecting the result in tmp/mint/mic/executions/04_15_01_50_06 and confirming that the output is correct, we conclude that the component is ready for publication.

Expected result

A successful test of the candidate model component. After you are done, type exit to exit the MIC container and return to your desktop for the final step.

Help command

Usage: mic pkg run [OPTIONS]

  This step will test the model component you created in previous steps.

  - You must pass the MIC_FILE (mic.yaml) using the option (-f) or run the
  command from the same directory as mic.yaml

  mic pkg run -f <mic_file>

  Example:

  mic pkg wrapper -f mic/mic.yaml

Options:
  -f, --mic_file FILE
  --help               Show this message and exit.
