watertap-ui

This repository is for work on the user interface(s) (UI) for the WaterTAP library.

Getting started (developer)

Prerequisites

The following steps assume that:

1. conda is already installed and configured
2. This repository (i.e. the WaterTAP UI repository, https://github.com/watertap-org/watertap-ui) has been cloned locally and the working directory is set to the root of the repository

1. Creating the Conda environment

Run the following command to create and activate a new Conda environment named watertap-ui-env:

conda env create --file environment.yml && conda activate watertap-ui-env

This will install the correct runtime versions of both the backend (Python) and frontend (JavaScript/NodeJS/Electron) portions of the UI, as well as the backend (Python) dependencies.

2. Install the JavaScript dependencies

Run the following command to install the JavaScript dependencies:

npm --prefix electron clean-install

3. Install the IDAES solver dependencies

idaes get-extensions --verbose

4. (Optional) Install the developer version of WaterTAP

By default, Step 1 above will install the watertap Python package from the current main branch of the watertap-org/watertap repository.

To use the WaterTAP UI with the development version of WaterTAP, run the following steps:

4.0. (Optional) Clone the watertap-org/watertap repository locally

If you already have a local clone of the WaterTAP repository, you can skip this step.

Otherwise, run the following command to create a local clone of the WaterTAP repository in a directory of your choice, e.g. /path/to/my/watertap:

git clone https://github.com/watertap-org/ /path/to/my/watertap

4.1. Ensure that the watertap-ui-env Conda environment is active

conda activate watertap-ui-env

4.2. Uninstall the currently installed version of WaterTAP

pip uninstall --yes watertap

4.3. Install the development version of WaterTAP

The following assumes that the watertap-org/watertap repository has been cloned to a directory named /path/to/my/watertap.

bash -c "cd /path/to/my/watertap && pip install -r requirements-dev.txt"

Running the UI

Ensure that the watertap-ui-env Conda environment is active

conda activate watertap-ui-env

Run UI in browser

cd <watertap-ui-path>/electron
npm run app-start

Run UI with electron

cd <watertap-ui-path>/electron
npm run electron-start

Running developer tests

To run the Python tests, make sure you have the appropriate version of watertap in your conda env. Then from the repository root directory run:

pytest backend/tests
