Validate new forecast files added by running this command at the root of the repository.
python3 code/validation/test-formatting.py

The previous command just runs a test on all files that have not been checked previously by the CI. If you're updating a single forecast, it will not run checks on that. To force validate a check on a particular forecast file, run the following command:

python3 code/validation/validate_single_forecast_file.py <forecast>

The <forecast> option should be a string. It can be specified with one of the following options:

• model_abbr:
  • Specifying this for <forecast> will run the forecast validation checks for all files with that model_abbr. Example: Specifying COVIDhub-ensemble will run validations for all forecast files by the COVIDhub-ensemble model.
• The path inside data-processed folder:
  • You can also specify a path to the forecast file within the data-processed folder. Example: data-processed/COVIDhub-ensemble/2020-04-13-COVIDhub-ensemble.csv. You can also omit the extension.
