Description

Description

Eric recently created a script to check that configuration sessions are complete and self-consistent. (DUNE-DAQ/daqsystemtest#267 and DUNE-DAQ/daqsystemtest#285)

He and I recognized that this script can be extended to accept user-supplied top-level configuration file(s) and probably used on ehn1-daqconfigs. This Issue is a placeholder to look into that.

Potential impact radius

Small/Isolated

Reason for change

Expand the range of this script so that its usefulness will have wider impact.

Suggested implementations

User-supplied top-level configuration files seems like it might be a useful option.

Testing suggestions

It would be great to demonstrate the running of the enhanced script on ehn1-daqconfigs as well as example configs.

Anything else?

Research direction

Start by locating the configuration-validation script and the example configurations introduced in DUNE-DAQ/daqsystemtest#267 and #285. Trace how top-level configuration files are selected, then define and implement support for user-supplied files; done means the script validates both example configs and ehn1-daqconfigs as requested.
