add continuous integration?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
As discussed in #19, we are interested in trying swot simulator and also potentially proposing some changes to handle data that is not stored in netCDF files.
It's great that swotsimulator has a test suite! Have you considered using travis-ci to automatically run these tests on every branch and pull request? This is what most community open-source python projects do. It greatly enhances the potential for collaboration by giving everyone a clear view of whether or not a potential contribution validates against the test suite.
This and other best practices for python packages are outlined on the pangeo website.
As mentionned in #19, you will be able to write plugins that format your data into xarray. The new version of the simulator will use this xarray data as inputs. I did not consider to use travis-ci so far as I am not sure it has any added value in the swotsimulator cases. I will check again the relevance of this tool.
