Defined in:
lib/batch_experiment.rb

Overview

Converts a command to a filename using a given sanitizer, gives different names to different calls with the same arguments. Example: if a call with “sleep 1” yields “sleep_1”, the second call with the same argument yields “sleep_1.2”, and so on. Note that this is done by remembering previous calls, the object don’t inspect the filesystem to check if that name was or wasn’t used.

Constructor Details

#initialize(sanitizer = FnameSanitizer) ⇒ Comm2FnameConverter

Creates a new Comm2FnameConverter, with no memory of any previous calls.

Parameters:

  • sanitizer (#call) (defaults to: FnameSanitizer) —

    Callable object used to create a filename from the arguments passed to Comm2FnameConverter.call. This class expects that sanitizer has no internal state, so when an instance of this class is cloned, there’s no problem with sharing the sanitizer between the clones. Default: BatchExperiment::FnameSanitizer.

Instance Method Details

#call(comm) ⇒ String

Note:

Note that different arguments can be reduced to the same sanitized filename and, if this happens, they will NOT overwrite each other. Example: ‘echo “abc”’ -> ‘echo_abc’; ‘echo abc’ -> ‘echo_abc.2’.

Takes a command, creates a fname for it, if this fname was already seen before, returns the fname + “.N”, where N is the number of times fname was already seen.

Parameters:

  • comm (String) —

    A system command.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The sanitized filename created from that command.
