Summary
The Binder environment for Mesa tutorials is currently broken because it uses an outdated version of Mesa (3.0.0b1). This causes errors when running the tutorials, preventing users from testing Mesa examples on Binder. The issue impacts new contributors and learners who rely on Binder to explore Mesa without setting up a local environment.
Bug / Issue
The Binder environment for Mesa tutorials is failing because it uses an outdated version of Mesa (3.0.0b1). This
causes errors when running the tutorials.
The environment.yml file in the binder directory specifies an old version of Mesa (3.0.0b1), which is no longer
compatible with the latest dependencies or tutorial code.
- Users cannot test Mesa tutorials on Binder, which limits accessibility and usability for new contributors and learners.
- The broken environment prevents users from exploring Mesa’s features and examples without setting up a local development environment.
Implementation
Updated the environment.yml file to use the latest version of Mesa.
Simplified the dependencies to reduce build time and avoid potential conflicts.
Verified that the Binder environment now works by testing the tutorials locally and on Binder.
Testing
Steps via which testing can be done :
Go to https://mybinder.org/.
Enter the URL of the Mesa repository and click Launch.
Once the environment is built, navigate to the examples directory.
Open and run the introtutorial.ipynb tutorial.
Confirm that the tutorials run without errors and produce the expected output.
