This profile configures Snakemake to submit jobs to a HTCondor cluster.
The profile makes use of the HTCondor python bindings which can be installed with
pip install --user htcondor
or using Anaconda with
conda install -c conda-forge python-htcondor
To deploy this profile run
mkdir -p ~/.config/snakemake
cd ~/.config/snakemake
cookiecutter https://github.com/Snakemake-Profiles/htcondor.git
You will be asked for the name of the profile and for a path where the HTCondor logs will be stored. The logs will be used to update the status of submitted jobs (as recommended in the documentation of the HTCondor Python bindings).
Then, you can run Snakemake with
snakemake --profile htcondor ...
so that jobs are submitted to the cluster. If Snakemake is killed and restarted afterwards, it will automatically resume still running jobs.
The tests are heavily inspired by the tests for the slurm snakemake profile. They can be run from the base directory by
pytest
Because the tests will try to submit jobs they need to be started from a HTCondor submit node. To run the tests from non-cluster machines or from github CI the HTCondor/mini docker container can be started by:
DOCKER_COMPOSE=tests/docker-compose.yaml ./tests/deploystack.sh
