WARNING: Tried to get polar motions for times after IERS data is valid (need clearer message in warning on how to set software default) #12608
Comments
After quite some debugging, I think the problem was caused by an url with is not updated anymore: iers_conf.iers_auto_url = 'https://astroconda.org/aux/astropy_mirror/iers_a_1/finals2000A.all' Thus the warning could a give hint to check this file. |
@mhvk , would an extra message to remind user to check |
Yes, I think we could expand the warning. But we should also move the link back! |
@mhvk , can you please clarify what you mean by "move the link back"? It's been a while since I looked at that part of the code. |
@mzechmeister , are you interested to open a PR? https://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/development/workflow/development_workflow.html |
@pllim, I prefer here to only comment. |
@pllim - I have this vague memory that we had to change the link to this |
I am now confused. We don't point to astropy/astropy/utils/iers/iers.py Line 42 in b237fbc
|
@mzechmeister - now I'm super-confused too - where did your configuration come from? Is that default IERS_A_URL changed in making the conda astropy packages? |
It seems the problem started with #9427, and, I guess, I used astropy/astropy-iers-data#20 to solve my problem mzechmeister/serval#33 (comment). It's hard to keep track, when the url changes all the time. |
OK, that makes sense, and though the URL changes are largely out of our control, I'm sorry it led to your problems! Bottom line, I think, is that it would be useful for the warning message to point to some documentation about how to solve this... |
All said though, it is recommended that you use the default, because we test it in the CI. We are not responsible for custom settings. |
Currently, I get:
raised in:
astropy/astropy/coordinates/builtin_frames/utils.py

Which files do I need to update (and how) to resolve this warning?
The warning message could be made more user friendly.
