CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2019 09 26

Updates:

Discussion:

1. Framework testing project (HSupp)

• EMC was also asking about how we test CCPP outside FV3
• Steve has some tests - definitely more than the unit tests that ccpp-framework has now
• Incremental testing needed: unit testing, testing with physics, test on multiple platforms / with multiple compilers
• Current Travis tests are for validating XML files and test basic functionality with the dynamic build
• Can use Python testing framework
• Use Pylint (with exceptions)?
• Can we test the existing system tests for capgen with ccpp_prebuild? Does it make sense? Is there additional functionality needed?

2. Transition to capgen: what is needed for FV3?

• create a branch in NCAR ccpp-framework: feature/capgen
• improve/add tests on this branch, don't worry about ccpp_prebuild.py
