Nullify a global or a process already defined

[Mahdi Ben Jelloul]

Hello fellow liam2 users,

I want to be able to use a model in a modified version.

So i import my baseline model and i want to deactivate globals and the processes that use them.

I need ot do that because the globals are loaded at the "liam2 import" step and since i do not use them in derived model i want to avoid loading them.

I also want to be able to do unit test on my model without loading data.

 

It tried adding things like:

global:

  -mytable: None

and it didn't work.

Any hint on how to do that or to achieve a similar goal ?

Thanks !

Hello Mahdi,

 

There is no way that I can see. It has always been a known limitation of the import system that you can only add to or modify "imported" stuff, but not remove them. But using None to delete some keys is certainly possibly. Now I almost answered yesterday that it would be easy to do so… But then I thought that I would just implement it as it would be a matter of maximum 10 minutes, right? Now, after passing all day on this (☹), I have a working (yet ugly) solution in my devel branch (https://github.com/liam2/liam2/tree/devel). Feel free to cherry pick the relevant commit.
