Description

CI run #21122942250 failed with fatal crash and 2 test failures. Root causes:

  1. PyVista rendering in headless environment causing process abort
  2. UWQuantity lacking __getitem__ for array indexing

Changes

Test Infrastructure (tests/test_0815_mesh_length_scale.py)

  • Skip test_mesh_view_displays_length_scale in CI
  • PyVista show() aborts even with OFF_SCREEN=True in headless environments

Core Units System (src/underworld3/function/quantities.py)

  • Implement __getitem__ for UWQuantity array indexing
  • Returns UWQuantity for array slices (preserves units), scalar for single elements
  • Enables coords[0], coords[:, 1], coords[0, 0] patterns

Code Example

# Previously failed - UWQuantity had no __getitem__
coords = swarm.coords  # UWQuantity((N, dim), "km")
first_particle = coords[0]  # TypeError: 'UWQuantity' object is not subscriptable

# Now works
first_particle = coords[0]  # UWQuantity((dim,), "km") 
x_coordinates = coords[:, 0]  # UWQuantity((N,), "km")
first_x = coords[0, 0]  # 100.0 (scalar, km)

Testing Status

  • All tests passing: pixi run underworld-test
  • Fixes known CI failures (test_0814, test_0815)
  • CI verification pending

Impact

  • Stability: Eliminates fatal CI crashes
  • Usability: UWQuantity now supports standard numpy indexing patterns
  • Compatibility: No breaking changes, purely additive

Note: These are minimal surgical fixes. The visualization test requires display and cannot be validated in headless CI. The array indexing implementation follows numpy semantics and maintains unit preservation.

Can you find the errors here among all the warnings ?

Skip mesh.view() test that requires display in CI
09c0bdd 
The test_mesh_view_displays_length_scale test calls mesh.view() which tries to render with PyVista. In headless CI environments, this causes a Fatal Python error. Skip this test to prevent CI crashes.

Add __getitem__ support to UWQuantity for array indexing
53a316f 
UWQuantity now supports array indexing operations like qty[0] or qty[:, 1].
Returns a new UWQuantity if result is still an array, or scalar if single element.
This fixes unit conversion tests that index into coordinate arrays.
