Job-specific configuration parameters are stored in the job_config.yaml file in your workspace directory. The Robbie Python SDK, by default, reads the job_conf.yaml file in the current working directory to determine the funding_group_id, environment_id, and image in the following cases:
robbie run (without –i option)
robbie run [commands] - if the job_config.yaml file contains commands, the [commands] will be used instead.
Notebook Runner
Remote Function runs
You can use the robbie config command or the robbie run command with the –i option to generate and write a job_config.yaml file. You can choose any name as long as it ends with .yaml. To use job configuration files with alternate names, pass the --f option with the filename to the robbie run command or when calling a remote function.
Here’s an example job_config.yaml file:
The parameters are defined as follows:
job_type: This is the type of job, either:
BASH_COMMAND_RUNNER for jobs launched from the command line
REMOTE_FUNCTION_CALL for Python remote functions.
mode: This is Python mode of operation.
BASH_COMMAND_RUNNER - Can be one of:
generic- For launching generic, non-python related jobs on the remote machine.
python-For launching non-conda Python jobs on the remote machine.
conda- For launching jobs in a mamba/conda environment on the remote machine.
REMOTE_FUNCTION_CALL
python-For launching non-conda Python remote functions on the remote machine.
conda- For launching remote functions in a mamba/conda environment on the remote machine.
funding_group_id - String that contains the UUID of the funding group that the job will be billed against. For example, “cecfc347-5680-4fb0-ae99-b000941b08dd”
environment_id - String that contains the UUID of the environment that the job will use. For example, “d26d6431-f1a5-4cea-b929-a4ed1f70eaaa”
image - String that contains the image name or “auto-select”. By specifying “auto-select” Robbie will choose the correct image for you.
customer_file_filter - A list of glob-style patterns to exclude. See
commands – These are the Linux shell commands to be run.
env – Environment variables and values (in key: value format) to be transferred to the remote machine and made available in the remote environment. If a value is not specified (key: ), the local environment variable will be read and sent to the remote machine.
Before you run starts, you can view these parameters in the Run configuration banner:
