JOSS: Verify new installation

[bonh]

Perhaps you'd like to add an automated quantitative tests so that I can verify my installation?

Right now I can run through your examples and qualitatively verify the results but a more systematic approach would be better, right?

@openjournals/joss-reviews#7710

[ebknudsen]

Agreed - I will add something like that, in addition to the pytest-based automated tests, which are run for all PRs. Although I should mention that these are run at the "new" repo location united-neux/CAD_to_OpenMC

[ebknudsen]

There is now a self-contained test script in the tests directory with exactly this purpose, which checks that an actual geometry, albeit a very simple one, get triangularized in the expected way.

[bonh]

When I try to execute the test script I get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'h5py'. I installed the code via conda so not from branch paper_joss but I guess that h5py is required for other stuff too and then it should be part of the conda recipe, right?

[ebknudsen]

You are entirely right - I missed this one since other stuff depends on it. This has been taken care of by #145

[bonh]

It seems that installing CadQuery via pip misses some depedencies? I installed CAD_to_OpenMC from source using branch joss_paper. Running test_self_contained.py results in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing_extensions' which is used by CadQuery as far as I understand. Installing typing_extensions resolves this issue but then ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'multimethod' . I now that this is more a CadQuery issue but it seems to me, that the CadQuery people recommend Conda for installing their software?

This was indeed an upstream issue, related to numpy transitioning from 1.x to 2.y which was not entirely reflected in cadquery's pip-stream. It works now with the new release (pip: 1.0.1-2), btw.
