Methods Summary

check_config_files(config_dir, schema) Check all configuration files for a given package.
check_standard_config_files(sal_name[, …]) A wrapper around check_config_files that handles the most common case.
get_config_dir(config_package_root, …) Get the directory of config files, assuming the standard ts_config_x package layout.
get_module_dir(module_name) Get the directory of a python module, by importing the module.
get_schema(csc_package_root[, sal_name, …]) Get the config schema for a package, as a dict.

Methods Documentation

check_config_files(config_dir, schema)

Check all configuration files for a given package.

Parameters:
config_dir : str or pathlib.Path

Directory containing config files and _labels.yaml.

schema : dict

Configuration schema.
check_standard_config_files(sal_name, module_name=None, package_name=None, schema_subpath=None, config_package_root=None, config_dir=None)

A wrapper around check_config_files that handles the most common case.

Assumptions:

  • The module can be imported, else the test is skipped
  • The module root is n+1 levels above the package where n is the number of “.” in module_name.
  • The schema is in module root / "schema" / f"{sal_name}.yaml"
Parameters:
sal_name : str

SAL component name, e.g. “Watcher”.

module_name : str or None, optional

Module name, e.g. “lsst.ts.salobj”. If not None then get the CSC package root by importing the module and ignore package_name.

package_name : str, optional

If module_name is None then specify this argument and get the CSC package root using environment variable <PACKAGE_NAME>_DIR. This is useful for non-python packages or packages that need a special environment to be imported.

schema_subpath : str or None

Schema path relative to csc_package_root. If None then use f"schema/{sal_name}.yaml"

config_package_root : str or pathlib.Path or None

Root directory of configuration package. Within the unit test this will work:

config_package_root = pathlib.Path(__file__).parents[1]

Ignored if config_dir is specified.

config_dir : str or pathlib.Path or None

Directory containing config files and _labels.yaml. If None then a reasonable value is computed; this is primarily intended to support unit testing in ts_salobj.
get_config_dir(config_package_root, sal_name, schema)

Get the directory of config files, assuming the standard ts_config_x package layout.

The config dir is assumed to be as follows, where version comes from the title field of the schema:

config_package_root / sal_name / version
Parameters:
config_package_root : str or pathlib.Path

Root directory of configuration package. For unit tests in a config package, this will work:

config_package_root = pathlib.Path(__file__).parents[1]

sal_name : str

SAL component name, e.g. “Watcher”.

schema : dict

Configuration schema. Used to determine the version.
Returns:
config_dir : pathlib.Path

Directory containing configuration files.
get_module_dir(module_name)

Get the directory of a python module, by importing the module.

Parameters:
module_name : str

Module name, e.g. “lsst.ts.salobj”.
Returns:
module_dir : pathlib.Path

Module directory, e.g. <package_root>/lsst/ts/salobj
Raises:
ModuleNotFoundError

If the module is not found.
get_schema(csc_package_root, sal_name=None, schema_subpath=None)

Get the config schema for a package, as a dict.

The schema is expected to be:

csc_package_root / “schema” / f”{sal_name}.yaml”
Parameters:
csc_package_root : str or pathlib.Path

Root directory of CSC package.

sal_name : str

SAL component name, e.g. “Watcher”. Ignored if schema_subpath is specified.

schema_subpath : str or None

Schema path relative to csc_package_root. If None then use f"schema/{sal_name}.yaml"
Raises:
AssertionError

If csc_package_root is not an existing directory. If the schema file is not an existing file.

jsonschema.exceptions.SchemaError

If the file cannot be interpreted as a dict.
