Yepp, that's the way to go.

[schlunma]

Cheers guys!

I will wait for a couple of hours (say until 4pm CET) if anyone from the @ESMValGroup/esmvaltool-coreteam has any objections, then will proceed with the merge 👍

GitHub Actions ran successful (apart from the OSX 3.7 of course): https://github.com/ESMValGroup/ESMValCore/actions/runs/1962822315

I noticed that every comment in this PR triggers a GitHub action (e.g., https://github.com/ESMValGroup/ESMValCore/actions/runs/1962915977), is this on purpose?

if you are bit confused why there is a 3.7 OSX run here that is because the dumb GA bot is running the workflow that is on main rather the one in this PR. I am very confused as to what the crappe are those autofailed tests triggered by codecov tho

That's what I thought 😄

They are not triggered by codecov, but by our comments:

[valeriupredoi]

aagh! I know what those are - not just codecov - but any comment - it tries to initiate the GA test but because there is no key string (am not gonna write it here coz I'd invoke the test) in the comment it stops, I need to figure out how to not have the initial phase of the test triggered - Github Actions documentation is blithering terrible

[schlunma]

Ahh, and it does that regardless if the keyword was mentioned in that PR or not (see #1308)...

[valeriupredoi]

seems like I have created a thing more verbose than my mum 🤣 Hang on lemme see what I can do about that
