Questions/suggestions on documentation page about workflows

[borellim]

I have a few questions / suggestions about this page of the documentation that discusses workflows.

• Can the ctx member of a WorkChain be equivalently accessed as a dictionary (self.ctx['key']) and with the dot notation (self.ctx.key)? This seems implied but is not made explicit.

• The use of the agglomerate argument is not super clear to me, especially in the case of exposed_outputs(). They name of the argument itself also doesn't seem very intuitive. Maybe I just need to make use of the feature in order to understand its necessity.

• To better understand the last complex example, I took the liberty of making a graph: feel free to use it (or not). Note however that, in order to make the graph clearer, I had to slightly change the ChildWorkChain so that it creates new outputs, rather than simply passing the inputs along:

    def do_run(self):
        self.out('d', Int(self.inputs.a*2))
        self.out('e', Float(self.inputs.b*2))
        self.out('f', Bool(not self.inputs.c))

Hi @borellim, could you check the current documentation is good enough for your questions mentioned above? I think it is safe to close this issue @mbercx correct?

Thanks Jason. I don't use AiiDA any more now, so I'm not sure that my input would be valuable. But I do appreciate your following up.

EDIT: Also the link above does not work any more...

Thanks Marco! To me, the problem you mentioned is now nicely documented thanks to their efforts on documentation ;-)
Will close this for now.
