Description

I've been away from geemap for a couple months. When I came back, I found that the ee.Date function is not a module anymore, but a class object? It was useful for converting numeric years into earth engine dates.

As in

https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/apidocs/ee-date-fromymd
https://geemap.org/common/#geemap.common.annual_NAIP

>>> import ee
>>> year = 2022
>>> start_date = ee.Date.fromYMD(year, 1, 1) 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Date' has no attribute 'fromYMD'

>>> from ee import Date
>>> Date
<class 'ee.ee_date.Date'>
>>> Date.fromYMD
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Date' has no attribute 'fromYMD'

Should work. Make sure you have the latest release of the EE python client library.

I'm seeing this:

import ee
ee.Initialize()  # I think you might be missing this?
print(ee.Date.fromYMD(2023, 1, 1).getInfo())

# Gives:
{'type': 'Date', 'value': 1672531200000}

This is a strange issue. Maybe try creating a fresh conda env to install the package. I did encounter the same issue. It does not work in the terminal, but it works in JupyterLab.

Missing ee.Initialize()?

[giswqs]

@schwehr Good catch! ee.Initialize() is the issue.

In older versions, it throws an error indicating the session is not initialized.
