🚀 Feature: Add Args to RunController() to Allow Restarting from Iteration X and Component Y

[i-am-sijia]

User Story

As a model user, I'd like to have the option to restart from e.g., highway assignment of global iteration 2, and run all subsequent components in global iteration 2 and all components in global iteration 3. In the current tm2py, to skip a component, users can comment it out in the scenario toml, but doing so skips the component for all global iterations.

Progress:

• Sufficiently defined
• Approach determined
• Tests developed
• User story satisfied
• Doc strings
• General documentation
• Passing tests

Resolution Ideas

We can add optional arguments to RunController() to pass in user specified starting global iteration number and component name. This way, the user does not need to change the scenario toml; and a component won't be skipped for all global iterations. There will be codes added to tm2py to set up this functionality.

Can we also add a command line call with these as args?
