Creating a dataset with a plugin

BorjaVelasco

Hi all,

I wonder if I can create a dataset with a plugin. My plugin is basically a python receipe, that can be selected from an existing dataset. The behavior I am looking for is that whenever a user is in a dataset and selects the plugin, two output datasets are automatically created, without requiring the creation from the user via the Input/Output tab.

Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

Thank you!

Hi @BorjaVelasco
,

This is not possible as the recipe should have at least one output dataset. When using a plugin recipe.

Otherwise, you will encounter an error like : "Component descriptor is invalid [pythondev] Plugin recipes require outputRoles"

At a minimum, you would have to create a dummy output folder and create the remaining datasets outside of user input.
