Testing an Electron

You can execute an electron in a single-task workflow by simply adding a lattice decorator to the function. This technique is useful for testing and debugging individual workflow tasks in a controlled manner.

Prerequisites

Write an electron that you want to test individually.

import covalent as ct

@ct.electron
def add(x, y):
   return x + y

Procedure

Attach the @lattice decorator to the electron.

import covalent as ct

@ct.lattice
@ct.electron
def add(x, y):
   return x + y

Note: Don’t confuse ct.electron(lattice), which creates a sublattice, with ct.lattice(electron), which is a workflow consisting of a single task.
