How open 'rose edit' in rose 2?

hi there,

i’m now using cylc 8 and rose 2 in my climate modelling suites.

i want to open the rose edit gui as usual but i get this message…

> rose edit &
> The Rose configuration editor has been removed. 
The old Rose 2019 GUI remains compatible with Rose 2 configurations.

i need to use the new rose to allow fcm_make tasks to work in my workflows but of course i still need to use the rose gui.

how should i approach this?

thanks!

ok i’ve worked it out, you have to open rosie go and then right-click and then Edit Suite. :smile:

Yes, like the old Cylc 7 desktop GUIs, rose edit is based on a now-obsolete Python 2 toolkit.

The Rose team is working on a new web UI to replace it.

In the meantime, as the message above says you can still edit Rose configs with the old Rose-2019 editor, or directly in your code editor.

yeah that’s good although it wasn’t clear to me how you can use differently versioned aspects of rose/rosie at the same time.

we have it hard coded here now (thanks @hilary.j.oliver) but maybe other sites don’t…

> rosie --version
Rose 2019.01.3 (/scale_wlg_persistent/filesets/opt_nesi/[...]
share/Rose/2019.01.3)
> rose --version
rose 2.0.2

anyway, it’s working :partying_face:

thanks

Sorry about that, I can totally understand why.

The fact that you automatically get rosie 2019.01.3 even when you have Cylc 8 (and hence rose 2.0) in your environment, is down to some local installation jiggery-pokery with symlinks.

However, I think I still need to get the wrapper updated so you can fire up the old rose edit GUI from the command line rather than via rosie go.

Hi all,

I have a similar setup to Jonny (below). However, I can’t get “rosie go” to work. It asks me for a MetOffice password.

Are there any tips on how to fix that?

Hi,

Use your SRS username and password with Rosie (create an account if you don’t already have one). You can set up authentication caching to remember this for you so you don’t have to type it each time. There is Met Office internal documentation covering this, but I can’t link it from this public forum.
