Testing#

Provide more informative integration pytest output when running with -s#

Output reference environment variables (like OUTPUT_CHECKER_THRESHOLD_IMAGE), and the full copy pasteable command line call for each test script. Remove some other print statements. Should determine if there is some concept of logging levels in pytests (using geoips setup_logging did not appear to immediately work with initial tests).

Documentation#

Update upcoming and tagged versions#

  • Tagged version: 1.15.3

  • Upcoming version: 1.16.2

Cli#

Add geoips config install-github cli command#

Currently this just calls $GEOIPS_PACKAGES_DIR/geoips/setup/check_system_requirements.sh test_data_github, but functionality can later be moved directly into the python. This will allow us to update READMEs for consistency (geoips config install test_data_* for datasets that are available on CIRA NEXCLOUD, geoips config install-github test_data_* for datasets that are available at $GEOIPS_REPO_URL), and eventually deprecate the check_system_requirements.sh command.

Note geoips config install and geoips config install-github can both be updated in the future to support package installs as well, but for now leave a note in both of their help functions noting that currently only test data installations are supported.

Enhancement#

Implement additional caching options for abi geostationary reader#

Add support for optionally caching solar angle calculations in either memmap or zarray format. Solar angle calculations are stored under a “short term” directory, so any files under that directory can be subject to aggressive scrubbing without the worry of deleting “long term” caches (e.g. lat/lon/sat_azimuth/sat_zenith).

In addition to the optional solar angle caching, the abi_netcdf reader was updated to support the optional caching of both radiance and calibrated data. The abi_satpy and ahi_satpy readers are considerably faster, likely due to the caching of both the solar angles and the data itself.

The environment variables that control the cache location have been standardized under base_paths.py, and are assigned the following names: GEOIPS_DATA_CACHE_DIR_LONGTERM_GEOLOCATION_DYNAMIC, GEOIPS_DATA_CACHE_DIR_LONGTERM_GEOLOCATION_STATIC, GEOIPS_DATA_CACHE_DIR_SHORTERM_GEOLOCATION_SOLAR_ANGLES, GEOIPS_DATA_CACHE_DIR_SHORTTERM_CALIBRATED_DATA, SATPY_DATA_CACHE_DIR_SHORTTERM_CALIBRATED_DATA, SATPY_DATA_CACHE_DIR_SHORTERM_GEOLOCATION_SOLAR_ANGLES.

The variables above use derived paths from either GEOIPS_DATA_CACHE_DIR or SATPY_DATA_CACHE_DIR, which can both be set in the config_geoips script. Presently, both of those paths will default to $GEOIPS_OUTDIRS/cache/geoips and $GEOIPS_OUTDIRS/cache/satpy, respectively.

Add new config based test script for processing ABI visible and Infrared data while using the solar angle and data caching options.
