provide the possibility to define sub-detector versions using the option file
-
Problem: currently the version of the components are defined at
Default.py
script, we are unable to specify what version to use for each componetns. - Changes: provide the flexibility to read the version from an option python scrip
-
achived:
-
can specifiy the sub-detectors in DD4HEP the code changes in `Sim/Gauss/options/Geometry/DD4hep-DBTags-2023.py` to specifiy FT and Magnet
GaussGeometry( # adds the geometry of FT and Magnet DetectorGeo = {"Detectors": ["FT", "Magnet"],"Version": {"FT": "trunk","Magnet": "trunk"}}, # adds the hit extraction classes for FT and turns on the magnetic field DetectorSim={ "Detectors": ["FT", "Magnet"] }, # adds the monitoring algorithms for FT (histograms will be produced) DetectorMoni={ "Detectors": ["FT"] }, )
the output xml file
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <lccdd> <debug> <type name="includes" value="0"/> <type name="incguard" value="1"/> </debug> <includes> <file ref="/home/mexu/stack/Detector/compact/common/global/common.xml"/> <file ref="/home/mexu/stack/Detector/compact/components/Pipe/trunk/PipeCommon.xml"/> </includes> <include ref="/home/mexu/stack/Detector/compact/components/FT/trunk/FT.xml"/> <include ref="/home/mexu/stack/Detector/compact/components/Magnet/trunk/Magnet.xml"/> </lccdd>
-
still allows for not specifying the version of the detectors, meanning all existing tests still work -
throw a warning, if Version
is used in DetDesc DBTag python script
# applying configuration of GaussGeometry # WARNING: the Version feature is intended for use exclusively with DD4HEP. Despite its inclusion in the DetDesc DBTags Python file, it does not function as expected
-
- in long term: will be a plugin in Detector or in LHCb that allows to steer the xml file at run time
Includes !1084 (merged)
