Allow a halo to be added by `indices` and `subspace` #760

Closed davidhassell closed 7 months ago

davidhassell commented 7 months ago

Fixes #759

Notes

The removed .html files were effectively empty, a bug resulting from methods being built as attributes, and vice versa.

Converting to draft whilst I fix some problems :)

davidhassell commented 7 months ago

Ready for review :)

davidhassell commented 7 months ago

All good for review - just added a couple of lines that will fix some of Bryan's performance issues, and are in the same area of code as touched by this PR.

Hi Sadie,

It seems like the subspace API is as it was before, so doesn't include the capability to specify the halo, but I thought the intention was to allow that for both methods?

subspace does indeed have the new API, but I forgot to update its docstring. Sorry!

... but I forgot to update its docstring ...

The reason for this is that the docstring you generally see is in cf.subspacefield.py, rather than cf/field.py. I had only updated the latter. This is pointless complexity [*] which we should get rid of for v4.0.0.

[*] i.e. the ability to square-bracket index the subspace attribute (edit)

Ideally we can add test coverage to include the use of both mode and halo settings as positional arguments

Also added an API test to subspace: 31ec154bd7a2e518782c9018ea2cafe06c5fad41
