Hypothesis strategy for generating Variable objects #8404

TomNicholas · 2023-11-02T17:04:03Z

Breaks out just the part of #6908 needed for generating arbitrary xarray.Variable objects. (so ignore the ginormous number of commits)

EDIT: Check out this test which performs a mean on any subset of any Variable object!

In [36]: from xarray.testing.strategies import variables

In [37]: variables().example()
<xarray.Variable (ĭ: 3)>
array([-2.22507386e-313-6.62447795e+016j,
                    nan-6.46207519e+185j,
       -2.22507386e-309+3.33333333e-001j])

@andersy005 @maxrjones @jhamman I thought this might be useful for the NamedArray testing. (xref #8370 and #8244)

@keewis and @Zac-HD sorry for letting that PR languish for literally a year 😅 This PR addresses your feedback about accepting a callable that returns a strategy generating arrays. That suggestion makes some things a bit more complex in user code but actually allows me to simplify the internals of the variables strategy significantly. I'm actually really happy with this PR - I think it solves what we were discussing, and is a sensible checkpoint to merge before going back to making strategies for generating composite objects like DataArrays/Datasets work.

I didn't have time to check the tests yet, but here are a few comments

+Testing your code
+=================


Not sure. It is true that the page has a different target audience than the other pages in the user guide, but then again applications can also be tested. And, so far the "internals" section describes implementation details or extension mechanisms that affect the internals.

we do support string dtypes, but only for a subset of operations. Is this worth mentioning?

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list (yet). It doesn't include datetimes either.

agreed, but most operations don't make sense on string or datetime dtypes so it might be better to make a separate list of dtypes for those?

Sure - I'm just saying let's defer detailed discussions of which types to test until another issue / PR, the point of this PR is to provide a framework flexible enough to easily test xarray functions with any type we want, which this achieves.

Zac-HD · 2023-11-13T22:44:21Z

The only final thing is that the docs don't build because of one weird warning (our docs are set to fail on any warnings):
xarray/xarray/testing/strategies.py:docstring of xarray.testing.strategies.accept.<locals>.variables:47:
    WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
Given that I don't define any local variables called accept, but hypothesis apparently does, I guess this must be hypothesis' fault somehow?

My guess is that this is an existing docstring, the location of which is being misreported due to the various wrappers that Hypothesis inserts. I'd be very surprised if Hypothesis is modifying docstrings somehow, but I guess trimming trailing whitespace is the kind of thing that could happen somewhere in the stack.

No direct insight, but getting the full text of the docstring it's complaining about should help?

TomNicholas · 2023-12-05T05:53:27Z

I got the docs build to pass! The warning was due to extra lines in the examples of the variables strategy docstring. I only managed to find it by trial and error 🙄

@keewis do you want to review the tests before I merge it? (The test failures now are something groupby-related, and are also happening in #8521, so definitely not my fault!)

keewis

I didn't spot anything that we wouldn't be able to change after merging / releasing, so I'd say let's merge and see how well it works in practice.

+    )
+
+
+def smallish_arrays(


is the only reason we have this function the default strategy for shape (and maybe some additional typing)? If so, we might be able to use functools.partial on npst.arrays? Unless you meant to expose this as public API (it's not in the API reference)

That is the only reason. I did not think of using functools.partial - that's a good idea, I can try that out before merging.

That actually won't work because we do need to be able to pass shape and dtype to the array_strategy_fn.

But I tried removing smallish_arrays completely and the tests still seem to complete in a reasonable amount of time, so I've actually just taken it out for now.
