Debugging with github actions

[kkappler]

1. Restricting Tests: Looks like gh-actions commands from the yaml file are executed as if the shell were in the main directory of the repo.
   Thus replace, for example: pytest -s -v --cov=./ --cov-report=xml --cov=aurora with, for example: pytest -s -v tests/parkfield/test*py --cov=./ --cov-report=xml --cov=aurora

2. Running gh-actions locally

• There appear to be packages for this, e.g. nektos but to go through most of the flow, you can execute something similar to the following:

  conda create --name runner python=3.9
  conda activate runner
  mkdir runner
  cd runner
  3. conda install -c conda-forge pytest pytest-cov certifi">=2017.4.17" pandoc # might take a while
  git clone git@kkappler-github:simpeg/aurora.git
  cd aurora
  pip install -e .
  pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
  pip install git+https://github.com/kujaku11/mt_metadata.git 
  pip install git+https://github.com/kujaku11/mth5.git@patch_129

  3. Comparing branches After pulling locally, run git difftool -d branch_name to compare your current branch against "branch_name"

When debugging is complete, if the commit is to be tagged, a good tutorial on using bumpversion is here

Closing this as no action is required.
