Feature: PDF report generation optional during optimize_with_report
Hey there,
Unfortunately we have found weasyprint to be a bit of a headache to deploy across different environments due to its external dependencies and differing installation across architectures. It would be very helpful if there were a flag to avoid pdf generation during this function while still exporting the other files (CSVs, genbanks).
Plateo requires pdf-reports (not as extra as in DNA Chisel, although I would appreciate that addition), so that makes it a bit hard to opt-out of this dependency chain.
Appreciate the work!
Hi,
I'm open to this suggestion. It will require changing DnaOptimizationProblem.optimize_with_report() and the sister method in CircularDnaOptimizationProblem and write_optimization_report() called by these.
The two options are a flag parameter, or making the html/pdf generation dependent of PDF_REPORTS_AVAILABLE which is already in the code (I'm leaning towards this).
Also, if there's interest, I can enable saving the html version of the report as well.
Both work for me! I would make use of html reports if they don't require the heavy dependencies for sure.
Much appreciated, thanks!
