mth5.data.paths

Sets up paths for synthetic data testing.

Attributes

DEFAULT_SANDBOX_PATH

Classes

SyntheticTestPaths

This class was created to workaround installations with read-only access to the folder containing mth5.

Module Contents

mth5.data.paths.DEFAULT_SANDBOX_PATH[source]

class mth5.data.paths.SyntheticTestPaths(sandbox_path: pathlib.Path | None | None = None, ascii_data_path: pathlib.Path | None | None = None)[source]

This class was created to workaround installations with read-only access to the folder containing mth5. Normally, the mth5 data/ folder can be used to store mth5 test data generated when running tests or examples. If data/ is read-only, then this class allows setting “sandbox_path”, a writable folder for tests or examples.

mth5_path[source]

writability_check() → None[source]

Check if the path is writable, and Placeholder

Tried adding the second solution from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2113427/determining-whether-a-directory-is-writeable

If dirs are not writeable, consider HOME = pathlib.Path().home() workaround_sandbox = HOME.joinpath(“.cache”, “aurora”, “sandbox”)

mkdirs() → None[source]: Makes the directories that the tests will write results to.
