Interactive Environment Test Area

Welcome to the GESIS Methods Hub Test Area!

Make your repository executable

Prepare, test, and publish reproducible computational workflows. Turn your code and data into interactive, executable research outputs. This environment helps you make your repository compatible with Interactive Execution Backends (e.g., repo2docker-based services like Binder) and guides you from setup to validation. You'll find concise checklists, clear documentation, and guided learning materials. They not only explain what Interactive Execution Backends are and how they relate to computational reproducibility, but provide practical guidance.

This Test Area allows you to check whether the computational part of the content you are submitting can be executed successfully in an interactive environment.

Please, follow the following steps:

1. Make sure your repository is configured according to:
   1. the Methods Hub guidelines
   2. the repo2docker configuration documentation
2. If the repository information is not already filled in, Please, provide the required repository details as per the form.
3. Click Launch.
4. Check that:
   • the environment builds correctly;
   • the intended source code file or Jupyter Notebook can be opened;
   • code cells or commands can be executed without errors;
   • code cells or commands produce the expected results.
5. Once you have confirmed that everything works:
   • return to the submission form;
   • select tested and works for the corresponding interactive environment.

Please note.

The first launch may take a little longer while the environment is being built. This usually takes no more than one or two minutes.
