Rake Tasks

Once you have completed instructions found in Installer Setup, you can then use the Rakefile contained at the top level of this repository (Rakefile). You will run rake task(s) for performing integrity checks on project inputs.

Using the Rakefile

Run rake -T to see the list of possible rake tasks. The -T is replaced with the chosen task.

$ rake -T
rake integrity_check_all                   # Run tests for integrity_check_all
rake integrity_check_multifamily_beta      # Run tests for integrity_check_...
rake integrity_check_singlefamilydetached  # Run tests for integrity_check_...
rake integrity_check_testing               # Run tests for integrity_check_...
rake integrity_check_unit_tests            # Run tests for integrity_check_...
rake test:measures_osw                     # Run tests for measures_osw
rake test:regenerate_osms                  # Run tests for regenerate_osms
rake test:regression_tests                 # Run tests for regression_tests
rake test:unit_tests                       # Run tests for unit_tests
rake update_measures                       # Run tests for update_measures

Integrity Checks

Run rake integrity_check_<project_name>, where <project_name> matches the project you are working with. If no rake task exists for the project you are working with, extend the list of integrity check rake tasks to accommodate your project by copy-pasting and renaming the integrity_check_singlefamilydetached rake task found in the Rakefile. An example for running a project’s integrity checks is given below:

$ rake integrity_check_singlefamilydetached
Checking for issues with project_singlefamilydetached/Location Region...
Checking for issues with project_singlefamilydetached/Location EPW...
Checking for issues with project_singlefamilydetached/Vintage...
Checking for issues with project_singlefamilydetached/Heating Fuel...
Checking for issues with project_singlefamilydetached/Usage Level...
...

If the integrity check for a given project fails, you will need to update either your tsv files and/or the resources/options_lookup.tsv file. See Options Lookup for information about the options_lookup.tsv file.
