Command Line Utility¶

Wallace is executed from the command line within the experiment directory with the following commands:

* `wallace verify <#verify>`__ * `wallace debug <#debug>`__ * `wallace sandbox <#sandbox>`__ * `wallace deploy <#deploy>`__ * `wallace logs <#logs>`__ * `wallace status <#status>`__ * `wallace export <#export>`__ * `wallace summary <#summary>`__ * `wallace qualify <#qualify>`__ * `wallace hibernate <#hibernate>`__ * `wallace awaken <#awaken>`__ * `wallace create <#create>`__

verify¶

Verifies that a directory is a Wallace-compatible app.

debug¶

--verbose

Runs the experiment locally. If --verbose is included more detailed logs are printed to the command line.

sandbox¶

--verbose
--app <name>
Runs the experiment on MTurk’s sandbox using Heroku as a server. If
--verbose is included more detailed logs are printed to the
command line. If --app is specified the app on heroku will have
that name.

deploy¶

--verbose
--app <name>
Runs the experiment live on MTurk using Heroku as a server. If
--verbose is included more detailed logs are printed to the
command line. If --app is specified the app on heroku will have
that name.

logs¶

--app <app>

Opens the app’s logs in Papertrail.

status¶

Returns the status of an experiment.

export¶

Downloads the database and partial server logs to a zipped folder within the data directory of the experimental folder. Databases are stored in csv format.

summary¶

--app <app-id>

Prints a summary of the participant table to the command line. You must specify the app id.

qualify¶

--qualification <qualification_id>
--value <value>
--worker <worker_id>
Assigns qualification qualification_id with value value to
worker worker_id. This is useful when compensating workers if
something goes wrong with the experiment.

hibernate¶

--app <app>

Temporarily scales down the specified app to save money. All dynos are removed and so are many of the add-ons. Hibernating apps are non-functional. It is likely that the app will not be entirely free while hibernating. To restore the app use awaken.

awaken¶

--app <app>

Retore a hibernating app.

create¶

--example <demo>

Copies the <demo> experiment from the examples directory to the command line location. <demo> must be the name of a directory with the examples directory. The default is bartlett1932.
