Compliance Check Library - python library of compliance checks

This is a python library (checklib) that defines generic, reusable compliance checks for use with the IOOS compliance checker.

Each check is defined within a class that knows about:

• a human-readable description of the check (including templating for modifications)
• a list of return values and useful user messages based on a range of possible results
• unit tests for each test
• hooks to talk to any vocabularies that can be interpreted by the pyessv.

Testing

To run the tests:

# Set up the directory required for working with the ESSV controlled vocabularies
mkdir -p ~/.esdoc

# Copy the example vocabularies into place
cp -r checklib/test/example_data/pyessv-archive-eg-cvs ~/.esdoc/pyessv-archive

pytest

Importing the checks

You can get to all checks with.

from checklib.checks import *

print(dir())

print ALL_CHECKS
