add workspace ID option for experiments

[VictorMorand]

instead of setting it manually with experimaestro run-experiment ... --workspace YOUR_ID
It would be nice to have the possibility to provide the workspace id in an experiment parameters file param.yaml,
such as

id: my_id          #id of the experiment
title: "Some xp"
description: " ... "
file: myXpFile
workspace: myworkspace_ID
# or optionnally 
workdir: "path/to/workdir" # this is also an option of `experimaestion run-experiment `

Not sure about this – the purpose of a workspace is to be independent from the experimental plan. Other options:

• Have a local workspace.yaml which can be located in the same folder
• Maybe the best: in the global settings file, have an option to filter based on ID

workspaces:
  - id: neuralir
    path: ~/experiments/xpmir
    triggers: [ "base_id-*", "my-awesome-experiment"]

[VictorMorand]

that would indeed cause issues when reproducing experiments
I like the second option. We could maybe add filters based on experiment path instead of id ?
could do a PR for this

Yes both are possible, but IDs should be more reliable. Feel free to to a PR:

You need modify

• in experiments/cli.py the call to find_workspace should be modified to include the configuration
• in settings.py the class WorkspaceSettings and the methods get_workspace and find_workspace (for the latter, and the corresponding optional parameters)
