-### Evidence - -When running the test suite, simulations marked as complete (status=1) in checkpoint file sometimes lack expected output files (`earth.earth.forward`), indicating vplanet failed but was marked successful. - -### Correct Fix - -Replace `poll()` with `wait()` to get the actual return code after process completes: - -```python -# Corrected code -vplanet = sub.Popen( - "vplanet vpl.in", - shell=True, - stdout=sub.PIPE, - stderr=sub.PIPE, - universal_newlines=True, -) - -# Read output streams (this allows process to complete) -for line in vplanet.stderr: - vplf.write(line) - -for line in vplanet.stdout: - vplf.write(line) - -# NOW get the return code after process completes -return_code = vplanet.wait() # CORRECT: Waits for completion and returns exit code - -if return_code == 0: # EXPLICIT check for success - # Mark as complete (status = 1) - for l in datalist: - if l[0] == folder: - l[1] = "1" - break -else: - # Mark as failed (status = -1) - for l in datalist: - if l[0] == folder: - l[1] = "-1" - break -``` - -### Alternative Fix (More Pythonic) - -Use `communicate()` instead of manual stream reading: - -```python -vplanet = sub.Popen( - "vplanet vpl.in", - shell=True, - stdout=sub.PIPE, - stderr=sub.PIPE, - universal_newlines=True, -) - -# communicate() waits for completion and returns (stdout, stderr) -stdout, stderr = vplanet.communicate() - -with open("vplanet_log", "a+") as vplf: - vplf.write(stderr) - vplf.write(stdout) - -return_code = vplanet.returncode # Now contains actual exit code - -if return_code == 0: - # Mark complete - pass -else: - # Mark failed - pass -``` - -### Fix Applied (2025-12-31) - -Implemented the "Alternative Fix" using `communicate()`: - -```python -# NEW: Refactored par_worker() subprocess handling -vplanet_log_path = os.path.join(sFolder, "vplanet_log") - -with open(vplanet_log_path, "a+") as vplf: - vplanet = sub.Popen( - ["vplanet", "vpl.in"], - cwd=sFolder, # No shell=True, no os.chdir() - stdout=sub.PIPE, - stderr=sub.PIPE, - universal_newlines=True, - ) - # communicate() waits for completion and returns output - stdout, stderr = vplanet.communicate() - - vplf.write(stderr) - vplf.write(stdout) - -# Check actual return code -return_code = vplanet.returncode - -if return_code == 0: - # Process succeeded - mark complete - fnMarkSimulationComplete(checkpoint_file, sFolder, lock) -else: - # Process failed - mark for retry - fnMarkSimulationFailed(checkpoint_file, sFolder, lock) -``` - -**Additional fixes in same refactoring:** -- Removed `shell=True` (security improvement) -- Removed `os.chdir()` (thread-safety improvement) -- Use `cwd=sFolder` parameter instead -- Explicit `returncode == 0` check (not `is None`) - -### Testing Status - -✅ **FIXED AND VALIDATED** -- All simulations now correctly classified as success/failure -- Failed simulations marked with status=-1 for retry -- Successful simulations marked with status=1 -- Tests verify output files exist only for successful runs - -### Workaround - -No longer needed - bug is fixed. - -### Previous Workaround - -Manual verification was required: -```bash -# Check if simulation actually completed -ls MP_Serial/*/earth.earth.forward -``` - -### Related Issues - -This bug is part of a broader architectural issue documented in [claude.md Section 3: Code Architecture Issues](claude.md): -- Uses `shell=True` (security risk) -- Uses `os.chdir()` (not thread-safe) -- No error handling for subprocess failures -

Future work: -- Add vplanet-private as git submodule OR -- Build vplanet v3.0 from source in CI OR -- Wait for v3.0 public release - -## Developer Notes - -### Test Structure - -Each test follows the same pattern: -1. Get test directory path -2. Clean up previous test artifacts -3. Run `vspace vspace.in` to generate simulation folders -4. Run `multiplanet vspace.in` to execute simulations -5. Verify output files exist in each simulation folder -6. (Optional) Verify checkpoint file status - -### Adding New Tests - -When adding new tests: -1. Create new test directory under `tests/` -2. Include `vspace.in`, `vpl.in`, and body files (e.g., `earth.in`, `sun.in`) -3. Create `test_*.py` with pytest test function -4. Follow existing pattern for cleanup and assertions -5. Update this document with new test description - -### Code Quality Improvements - -During test restoration, the following improvements were made: -- Removed `os.chdir()` calls (not thread-safe) -- Replaced with `os.path.join()` for path construction -- Added 600s timeout for BigPlanet test (prevents infinite hangs) -- Added descriptive assertion messages - -See [claude.md](claude.md) for comprehensive upgrade roadmap. diff --git a/TEST_INFRASTRUCTURE_STATUS.md b/TEST_INFRASTRUCTURE_STATUS.md deleted file mode 100644 index b927532..0000000 --- a/TEST_INFRASTRUCTURE_STATUS.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,231 +0,0 @@ -# Test Infrastructure Status Report - -**Date:** 2025-12-31 -**Branch:** test-infrastructure-restoration -**Status:** ✅ INFRASTRUCTURE RESTORED AND VALIDATED - ALL TESTS PASSING - ---- - -## Summary - -The multiplanet test infrastructure has been successfully restored after being disabled since commit 6943a5c.

The repository currently executes VPLanet simulations in parallel across multiple cores using a checkpoint-based synchronization system. While functionally sound, the codebase exhibits significant style guide violations, insufficient test coverage, and architectural patterns that deviate from established best practices. - -**Priority Order:** Testing → Style Compliance → Refactoring → Documentation - ---- - -## Current State Assessment - -### Repository Overview - -**Purpose:** Execute large batches of VPLanet simulations (created by vspace) in parallel across multiple CPU cores with checkpoint-based restart capability. - -**Core Components:** -- `multiplanet.py` (371 lines): Main parallel execution engine -- `mpstatus.py` (51 lines): Status reporting utility -- `multiplanet_module.py` (22 lines): Programmatic API interface -- 5 test modules (all currently disabled) - -**Dependencies:** numpy, h5py, pandas, scipy, vspace, bigplanet - ---- - -## Critical Issues Identified - -### 1.

---- - -## Open Questions for Discussion - -1. **JSON vs text checkpoint format:** Should we maintain text format for backward compatibility, or force migration to JSON? - -2. **Email parameter:** Remove entirely or implement? If implement, what service? - -3. **Python version support:** README says 3.6-3.9, but environment.yml and CI only test 3.6-3.9. Should we drop 3.6-3.8 support (EOL) and add 3.10-3.14? - -4. **Deprecation policy:** Should we maintain old function names as aliases for one release cycle, or break API immediately? - -5. **BigPlanet integration:** Should BigPlanet archive creation be moved to a separate command (`multiplanet` → `bigplanet`) or kept as flag? - -6. **Test data:** Should we use actual VPLanet simulations in tests (slow, realistic) or mocked executables (fast, fragile)? - -7. **Lock timeout:** What timeout is appropriate for checkpoint lock acquisition? Current: no timeout (infinite wait) - ---- - -## Future Enhancements (Post-Upgrade) - -These are **not** part of the current upgrade plan but should be considered for future development: - -1. **Progress bar integration:** Add tqdm progress bar for better UX -2. **Distributed execution:** Support for multiple machines (Dask, Ray) -3. **Checkpoint compression:** gzip checkpoint for large sweeps -4. **Simulation prioritization:** Allow user to specify execution order -5. **Automatic retry logic:** Retry failed simulations N times before marking failed -6. **Resource limits:** CPU/memory limits per worker -7. **Web dashboard:** Real-time status monitoring via web interface -8. **Logging infrastructure:** Replace print() with proper logging module -9. **Configuration file:** .multiplanetrc for default settings -10. **Integration tests:** Test interaction with vspace, bigplanet, vplot in realistic workflows - ---- - -## Appendix A: File Inventory - -### Source Code Files - -| File | Lines | Functions | Test Coverage | -|---|---|---|---| -| multiplanet/multiplanet.py | 371 | 7 | 0% | -| multiplanet/mpstatus.py | 51 | 2 | 0% | -| multiplanet/multiplanet_module.py | 22 | 1 | 0% | -| **Total** | **444** | **10** | **0%** | - -### Test Files - -| File | Status | Assertions | -|---|---|---| -| tests/Parallel/test_parallel.py | Disabled | 0 (3 commented) | -| tests/Serial/test_serial.py | Disabled | 0 (3 commented) | -| tests/Checkpoint/test_checkpoint.py | Disabled | 0 (3 commented) | -| tests/MpStatus/test_mpstatus.py | Disabled | 0 (3 commented) | -| tests/Bigplanet/test_bigplanet.py | Disabled | 0 (2 commented) | - -### Documentation Files - -| File | Purpose | Status | -|---|---|---| -| README.md | Project overview | Current | -| docs/index.rst | Main landing page | Current | -| docs/install.rst | Installation guide | Current | -| docs/help.rst | Usage documentation | Current | -| docs/mpstatus.rst | Status command docs | Current | - ---- - -## Appendix B: Code Complexity Analysis - -### Cyclomatic Complexity - -| Function | Complexity | Classification | -|---|---|---|---| -| `par_worker()` | 12 | High (should be <10) | -| `parallel_run_planet()` | 6 | Medium | -| `ReCreateCP()` | 8 | Medium | -| `GetSNames()` | 7 | Medium | -| `GetDir()` | 5 | Low | -| `GetSims()` | 2 | Low | -| `CreateCP()` | 2 | Low | -| `mpstatus()` | 6 | Medium | -| `Arguments()` | 3 | Low | -| `RunMultiplanet()` | 1 | Low | - -**Target:** All functions <10 complexity after refactoring - ---- - -## Appendix C: Dependency Analysis - -### Direct Dependencies - -| Package | Current Version | Purpose | Risk | -|---|---|---|---| -| numpy | Any | Array operations (minimal use) | Low | -| h5py | Any | HDF5 file I/O for BigPlanet | Low | -| pandas | Any | Data manipulation (minimal use) | Low | -| scipy | Any | Scientific computing (minimal use) | Low | -| argparse | stdlib | CLI argument parsing | None | -| multiprocessing | stdlib | Parallel execution | None | -| subprocess | stdlib | vplanet process spawning | None | -| os | stdlib | File system operations | None | -| **vspace** | Latest | Parameter sweep generation | **Medium** | -| **bigplanet** | Latest | Archive creation | **High** | - -### Dependency Concerns - -1. **BigPlanet API stability:** Tests disabled due to API changes.
