I have downloaded the "January 2000 wrf output data" WRF file from here <http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/test_data.html>. Is this the correct file? Should I should use this file to test load_WRF function? I tried loading the downloaded WRF file using the load function but got `invalidNetCDF` file exception. The size of this file was above 30mb and there are two more functions that require external files for testing. We should create mock datasets and objects to test these functions rather than downloading the entire files. Can you or someone else please help me create mock objects to test some functions (like the one used in test_rcmed.py)? Is there some kind of netCDF viewer that I can use to view the netCDF files? I tried using "IDV netCDF viewer" but it was too cryptic for me to understand. I have created an issue on JIRA <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-786> that I found today and have a fix ready for it. I have also setup codecov <http://codecov.io/> to better analyze the coverage of unit tests. Should I send the PR(s) right now or wait for the GSoC coding session to start and then send the PR(s)? These PR(s) could be part of my GSoC project as they fix the unit tests and increase the coverage of tests. Will it be wrong if I I tried accessing builds.apache.org via ssh but I couldn't. Could you please follow this link <http://wiki.apache.org/general/Jenkins#How_do_I_get_an_account> and grant me the access to ocwJenkins build? The configuration on Apache Jenkins might be different from the usual Jenkins configuration and I need to have a look. My username: jarifibrahim and email: jarifibra...@gmail.com for Apache Builds. One last question. Should all these questions be on JIRA and not the mailing list? :D Thanks, Ibrahim On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 8:05 PM, Lewis John Mcgibbney < lewis.mcgibb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Forgot to CC dev@ > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Lewis John Mcgibbney <lewis.mcgibb...@gmail.com> > Date: Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 7:35 AM > Subject: Re: [HELP] OCW - Improving Testing framework > To: Ibrahim Jarif <jarifibra...@gmail.com> > > > Hi Ibrahim, > CC'ing dev@, > > On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 12:09 AM, Ibrahim Jarif <jarifibra...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi Lewis, > > For the past few days I've been reading the docs at > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLIMATE/Home and trying to > > understand the project better. > > > > Good. > > > > I've figured out much of the stuff related to Continuous Integration but > > I'm still struggling with the tests. > > > > OK.
