ConfigurableCsc¶

class lsst.ts.salobj.ConfigurableCsc(name: str, index: int | None, config_schema: dict[str, Any], config_dir: str | pathlib.Path | None = None, check_if_duplicate: bool = False, initial_state: State = State.STANDBY, override: str = '', simulation_mode: int = 0, extra_commands: set[str] = {})¶

Bases: BaseCsc, ABC

Base class for a configurable Commandable SAL Component (CSC)

Parameters:

namestr: Name of SAL component.
indexint or None: SAL component index, or 0 or None if the component is not indexed.
config_schemadict: Configuration schema, as a dict in jsonschema format.
config_dirstr, optional: Directory of configuration files, or None for the standard configuration directory (obtained from _get_default_config_dir). This is provided for unit testing.
check_if_duplicatebool, optional: Check for heartbeat events from the same SAL name and index at startup (before starting the heartbeat loop)? Defaults to False in order to speed up unit tests, but amain sets it true.
initial_stateState or int, optional: The initial state of the CSC. This is provided for unit testing, as real CSCs should start up in State.STANDBY, the default.
overridestr, optional: Configuration override file to apply if initial_state is State.DISABLED or State.ENABLED.
simulation_modeint, optional: Simulation mode. The default is 0: do not simulate.
extra_commandsset`[`str]: List of commands that can be defined in the CSC but be missing from the interface.

Raises:

ValueError: If config_dir is not a directory or initial_state is invalid.
salobj.ExpectedError: If simulation_mode is invalid. Note: you will only see this error if you await start_task.
RuntimeError: If the environment variable LSST_SITE is not set.

Notes

Configuration

Configuration is handled by the start command, as follows:

The override field specifies a path to a configuration file found in the package specified by config_pkg in a subdirectory with the name of this SAL component (e.g. Test or ATDomeTrajectory).
The configuration file is validated against the schema specified by specified config_schema. This includes setting default values from the schema and validating the result again (in case the default values are invalid).
The validated configuration is converted to a struct-like object using types.SimpleNamespace.
The configuration is passed to the configure method, which subclasses must override. Note that configure is called just before summary state changes from State.STANDBY to State.DISABLED.

Constructor

The constructor does the following, beyond the parent class constructor:

Set summary state, then run the ConfigurableCsc.start asynchronously, which does the following:
If initial_summary_state is State.DISABLED or State.ENABLED then call ConfigurableCsc.configure.
Call BaseCsc.set_simulation_mode
Call BaseCsc.handle_summary_state
Call BaseCsc.report_summary_state
Set start_task done

Attributes:

config_dirpathlib.Path: Get or set the configuration directory.
config_validatorStandardValidator: Validator for configuration files.
schema_versionstr: Configuration schema version, as specified in the schema as the final word of the title. Used to find the config_dir.
sitestr: The value of the LSST_SITE environment variable, e.g. “summit”. Used to select the correct configuration files.

config_dir¶

Get or set the configuration directory.

Parameters:

config_dirstr, pathlib.Path: New configuration directory.

Returns:

config_dirpathlib.Path: Absolute path to the configuration directory.

Raises:

ValueError: If the new configuration dir is not a directory.

default_initial_state: State = 5¶

This is useful in handle_summary_state to determine if you should start or stop a telemetry loop, and connect to or disconnect from an external controller

domain¶

enable_cmdline_state = False¶

simulation_help: str | None = None¶

simulation_mode¶

Get the current simulation mode.

0 means normal operation (no simulation).

Raises:

ExpectedError: If the new simulation mode is not a supported value.

summary_state¶: Get the summary state as a State enum.

valid_simulation_modes: Sequence[int] = (0,)¶

Methods Documentation

classmethod add_arguments(parser: ArgumentParser) → None¶

Add arguments to the parser created by make_from_cmd_line.

Parameters:

parserargparse.ArgumentParser: The argument parser.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_kwargs_from_args as well.

classmethod add_kwargs_from_args(args: Namespace, kwargs: dict[str, Any]) → None¶

Add constructor keyword arguments based on parsed arguments.

Parameters:

argsargparse.Namespace: Parsed command.
kwargsdict: Keyword argument dict for the constructor. Update this based on args. The index argument will already be present if relevant.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_arguments as well.

async classmethod amain(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, **kwargs: Any) → None¶

Make a CSC from command-line arguments and run it.

Parameters:

indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.
Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.
Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments for your CSC’s constructor.

assert_enabled(action: str = '') → None¶

Assert that an action that requires ENABLED state can be run.

Parameters:

actionstr, optional: Action attempted. Not needed if this is called at the beginning of a do_... method, since the user will know what command was called.

async begin_disable(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_disable; called before state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_enable(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_enable; called before state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_exitControl(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_exitControl; called before state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_standby(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_standby; called before the state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_start(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_start; configure the CSC before changing state.

Parameters:

datacmd_start.DataType: Command data

Notes

The override field must be one of:

The name of a config label or config file
The name and version of a config file, formatted as <file_name>:<version>, where the version is a git reference, such as a git tag or commit hash. This form does not support labels.

async check_for_duplicate_heartbeat(num_messages: int = 5) → int¶

Monitor heartbeat events and return True if any have a different private_origin.

Intended for use by check_if_duplicate.

The heartbeat loop should be running before this is called. This avoids the issue that if 2 CSCs are started at the same time then neither will see the other one’s heartbeat. This code also assumes that will be true; it will likely raise asyncio.TimeoutError if not.

Parameters:

num_messagesfloat: The number of heartbeat messages to read.

Returns:

originint: private_origin field of duplicate heartbeat, or 0 if none detected.

Raises:

asyncio.TimeoutError: If no heartbeat seen within the specified time.

async close(exception: Exception | None = None, cancel_start: bool = True) → None¶

Shut down, clean up resources and set done_task done.

May be called multiple times. The first call closes the Controller; subsequent calls wait until the Controller is closed.

Subclasses should override close_tasks instead of close, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.

Parameters:

exceptionException, optional: The exception that caused stopping, if any, in which case the self.done_task exception is set to this value. Specify None for a normal exit, in which case the self.done_task result is set to None.
cancel_startbool, optional: Cancel the start task? Leave this true unless calling this from the start task.

Notes

Removes the SAL log handler, calls close_tasks to stop all background tasks, pauses briefly to allow final SAL messages to be sent, then closes the dds domain.

async close_tasks() → None¶: Shut down pending tasks. Called by close.

abstract async configure(config: Any) → None¶

Configure the CSC.

Parameters:

configobject: The configuration, as described by the config schema, as a struct-like object.

Notes

Called when running the start command, just before changing summary state from State.STANDBY to State.DISABLED.

async do_disable(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Transition from State.ENABLED to State.DISABLED.

Parameters:

datacmd_disable.DataType: Command data

async do_enable(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Transition from State.DISABLED to State.ENABLED.

Parameters:

datacmd_enable.DataType: Command data

async do_exitControl(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Transition from State.STANDBY to State.OFFLINE and quit.

Parameters:

datacmd_exitControl.DataType: Command data

async do_setLogLevel(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Set logging level.

Parameters:

datacmd_setLogLevel.DataType: Logging level.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async end_start(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

End do_start; called after state changes but before command acknowledged.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async fault(code: int | None, report: str, traceback: str = '') → None¶

Enter the fault state and output the errorCode event.

Parameters:

codeint: Error code for the errorCode event. If None then errorCode is not output and you should output it yourself. Specifying None is deprecated; please always specify an integer error code.
reportstr: Description of the error.
tracebackstr, optional: Description of the traceback, if any.

abstract static get_config_pkg() → str¶: Get the name of the configuration package, e.g. “ts_config_ocs”.

async handle_summary_state() → None¶

Called when the summary state has changed.

Override to perform tasks such as starting and stopping telemetry (example).

Notes

The versions in BaseCsc and ConfigurableCsc do nothing, so if you subclass one of those you do not need to call await super().handle_summary_state().

async implement_simulation_mode(simulation_mode: int) → None¶

Implement going into or out of simulation mode.

Deprecated. See simulation mode for details.

Parameters:

simulation_modeint: Requested simulation mode; 0 for normal operation.

Raises:

ExpectedError: If simulation_mode is not a supported value.

classmethod make_from_cmd_line(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, check_if_duplicate: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → BaseCsc¶

Construct a CSC from command line arguments.

Parameters:

indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.
Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.
Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

check_if_duplicatebool, optional

Check for heartbeat events from the same SAL name and index at startup (before starting the heartbeat loop)? The default is False, to match the BaseCsc default. Note: handled by setting the attribute directly instead of as a constructor argument, because CSCs may not all support the constructor argument.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments for your CSC’s constructor.

Returns:

csccls: The CSC.

Notes

To add additional command-line arguments, override add_arguments and add_kwargs_from_args.

async put_log_level() → None¶: Output the logLevel event.

async read_config_dir() → None¶

Read the config dir and put configurationsAvailable if changed.

Output the configurationsAvailable event (if changed), after updating the overrides and version fields. Also update the version field of evt_configurationApplied, in preparation for the next time the event is output.

async read_config_dir_loop() → None¶

classmethod read_config_files(config_validator: Draft7Validator, config_dir: Path, files_to_read: list[str], git_hash: str = '') → SimpleNamespace¶

Read a set of configuration files and return the validated config.

Parameters:

config_validatorjsonschema validator: Schema validator for configuration.
config_dirpathlib.Path: Path to config files.
files_to_readList [str]: Names of files to read, with .yaml suffix. Empty names are ignored (a useful feature for BaseConfigTestCase). The files are read in order, with each later file overriding values that have been accumulated so far.
git_hashstr, optional: Git hash to use for the files. “” if current.

Returns:

types.SimpleNamespace: The validated config as a simple namespace.

Raises:

ExpectedError: If the specified configuration files cannot be found, cannot be parsed as yaml dicts, or produce an invalid configuration (one that does not match the schema).

async set_simulation_mode(simulation_mode: int) → None¶

Set the simulation mode.

Await implement_simulation_mode, update the simulation mode property and report the new value.

Parameters:

simulation_modeint: Requested simulation mode; 0 for normal operation.

async start() → None¶

Finish constructing the CSC.

Call set_simulation_mode. If this fails, set self.start_task to the exception, call stop, making the CSC unusable, and return.
Call handle_summary_state
Set self.start_task done.

async start_phase2() → None¶

Handle the initial state.

Called after start.
