Invalid path returned in Windows (for network paths)

In Windows, when a user evaluates this method from a network location (e.g. \\Noodle\Greta\mission) the path returned by the line:

mica/mica/archive/aca_dark/dark_cal.py

Line 54 in adf6372

def get_dark_cal_dirs(dark_cals_dir=MICA_FILES['dark_cals_dir'].abs):

is invalid/incorrect. It will either return, Z:\ (which is not actually mapped on the given machine) or \\Noodle\Greta\ (which is the current directory, but not the directory that should be used for this.

I believe this issue is actually with the pyyaks package not using the basedir specified for the absolute path, but I haven't been able to trace the exact issue.

Not sure if pyyaks here

https://github.com/sot/pyyaks/blob/ea6dc810f0634f4e106b8c8377b722601d8bcd08/pyyaks/context.py#L197

might need the same treatment as ae00c60 or if that would be unrelated.

Can you try using the fix in sot/pyyaks#6?

BTW who made the issue? Is that Mark B?

I assume @mbaski would have posted with his credentials, and since the chandra-xray user has the aca email address I assume the posting user is unlikely to see notifications.

@jskrist made this issue.

Great. @jskrist can you try testing with that pyyaks fix?

Sorry for the confusion. I logged in as @chandra-xray to make sure I had access to all the source code repos while I was investigating the issue, then made the issue using the same account.

@taldcroft , I’m out today, but I can test it later this afternoon or Monday morning if it’s not urgent.

@jskrist - no rush.

To close the loop: I reviewed the fix in sot/pyyaks#6
