Issue with Obtaining Necessary Files for Testing pystell_uw

[ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury]

The pystell_uw repository has recently been updated, and we can now install it directly from the repository. The next step is to create some test scripts to ensure everything is working correctly. However, I am unsure how to obtain the necessary files for testing. Once the test scripts are completed, we will be ready to publish pystell to PyPI.

@ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury was this issue intended for the PyStell-UW repository?

[ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury]

I know, but it seems there are very few collaborators in that repository (for now, it is just me 🙂). Since this project uses PyStell-UW as a core dependency, I am wondering if the maintainers can help me here.

[ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury]

I think, all I need is this file and similarly others.

on the oo_version branch we have some testing files available https://github.com/svalinn/parastell/tree/oo_version/tests/files_for_tests

wout_vmec.nc is the plas_eq test file
and
coils.example is the file that defines the magnet filaments

I haven't actually used these files personally, I think @connoramoreno knows a bit more about them

You can use wout_vmec.nc for any VMEC testing needs in PyStell-UW. wout_vmec.nc is a plasma equilibrium VMEC data file. As Edgar mentioned, it can be found in the /tests/files_for_tests/ directory on the oo_version branch of ParaStell.

coils.example isn't relevant for PyStell-UW as read_vmec.py only uses VMEC data.

I have a boozmn.nc corresponding to wout_vmec.nc laying around if that's relevant for testing pybooz.py and read_boozmn.py in PyStell-UW. I am unfamiliar with how it might be used for those scripts, though.

@ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury, has this issue been resolved?

[ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury]

Once I have successfully integrated all the testing into pystell_uw, I will close the PR. I'm keeping this open so that if I face any difficulties, I can request assistance here.
