BIMTester call it from Python

B by bernd on 17 Nov 2021, edited 20 Nov 2021 #

To call BIMTester language examples from Pyhton I use the code attached.

Ist it possible to retrieve the args dictionary from the cli.py module by Python? I would just need to set the ifc and feature afterwards.


from os.path import join

ifcos_main_path = join("the_path_to_ifcos_repo") 

ifcbimtester_path = join(ifcos_main_path, "src", "ifcbimtester")

examples_path = join(ifcbimtester_path, "examples", "01_ifcschema_translated")

#feature_file_name = "de_grundlagen"

#feature_file_name = "en_base"

#feature_file_name = "fr_fondamentaux"

feature_file_name = "it_fondamento"

#feature_file_name = "nl_grondslag"


args = {

    "action": "",

    "advanced_arguments": "",

    "console": True,

    "feature": join(examples_path, "features", feature_file_name + ".feature"),

    "ifc": join(examples_path, "IFC2X3_col.ifc"),

    "path": "",

    "report": "",

    "steps": "",

    "schema_file": "",

    "schema_name": "",

    "lang": "",

}


import sys

sys.path.append(ifcbimtester_path)

import bimtester.run

import bimtester.reports

report_json = bimtester.run.TestRunner(args["ifc"], args["schema_file"]).run(args)

# bimtester.reports.ReportGenerator().generate(report_json, join(ifcos_main_path, "report.html"))

Just for information ... The json report file is only created if args["console"] is set to False. See https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/blob/9c9bec9c4e682ed7c3de66b6bc57edf24324e255/src/ifcbimtester/bimtester/run.py#L125-L127

update the code ...

open a git shell


cd /c/Users/BHA/Desktop

git clone https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/

in a Python shell, works in FreeCAD Python console too, but some modules need to be installed before.


import os

from os.path import join

ifcos_main_path = join("C:", os.sep, "Users", "BHA", "Desktop", "IfcOpenShell") 

ifcbimtester_path = join(ifcos_main_path, "src", "ifcbimtester")

examples_path = join(ifcbimtester_path, "examples", "01_ifcschema_translated")

feature_file_name = "de_grundlagen"

#feature_file_name = "en_base"

#feature_file_name = "fr_fondamentaux"

#feature_file_name = "it_fondamento"

#feature_file_name = "nl_grondslag"


args = {

    "action": "",

    "advanced_arguments": "",

    "console": False,

    "feature": join(examples_path, "features", feature_file_name + ".feature"),

    "ifc": join(examples_path, "IFC2X3_col.ifc"),

    "path": "",

    "report": "",

    "steps": "",

    "schema_file": "",

    "schema_name": "",

    "lang": "",

}


import sys

sys.path.append(ifcbimtester_path)

import bimtester.run

import bimtester.reports

report_json = bimtester.run.TestRunner(args["ifc"], args["schema_file"]).run(args)

report_json

report_html = join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(report_json)), "report.html")

bimtester.reports.ReportGenerator().generate(report_json, report_html)

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open(report_html)

opens the standard webbrowser with the html report
