Can we build a working xesmf environment on Gadi ARE (linux-64)?

Steps followed:

mamba create -n pangeo_xesmf python=3.10
mamba activate pangeo_xesmf
mamba install -c conda-forge xesmf
mamba install -c conda-forge dask netCDF4
mamba install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
mamba install -c conda-forge nodejs
mamba install -c conda-forge dask-labextension
mamba install -c conda-forge matplotlib 
mamba install -c conda-forge cartopy

????? at first look this seems to be a problem with the test code?

def _construct_dataarray(self, name: Hashable) -> DataArray:
        """Construct a DataArray by indexing this dataset"""
        from xarray.core.dataarray import DataArray
