Adding summary reports through the Openstudio API

edit

I think James is using RunManager to run these jobs so there is no way to inject the code that @David Goldwasser suggested without running a measure. I think this test has a decent example of how to add a measure to the workflow.

You can call measures from ruby. That's how we run measures for measure unit tests as described here. If you don't want to run a measure you can directly use the API as described below.

First add in the code from the other post that describes the object.

request = OpenStudio::IdfObject.load("Output:Table:SummaryReports,AllSummaryAndSizingPeriod;").get

Then add the line below to that code to add the object. These lines would be added after forward translation to IDF but before you run EnergyPlus.

object = workspace.addObject(request).get
