Code for checking Ensembl data

• Framework details

Repository dependencies

The datachecks require the following repositories to be checked out and their libraries available in your environment:

• ensembl
• ensembl-compara
• ensembl-funcgen
• ensembl-metadata
• ensembl-orm
• ensembl-variation

Using git hooks to synchronise the datacheck index

It's easy to get out of sync between datachecks and the index. There's a test for this, so it would eventually get detected, but we can proactively avoid the problem with a git hook that automatically updates the index.

To configure this, in your local repository do: ln -s hooks/pre-commit.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit

Then, whenever you commit, the index will be checked, and updated if necessary. To skip the checking, use the --no-verify flag.
