grdinterpolate in test_cube.jl

[einzigsue]

Hi @joa-quim,

May I ask what this line

GMT.jl/test/test_cube.jl

Line 19 in 168234d

U = grdinterpolate("U.nc");

is expected to do?

Does it need more arguments? When running in the test, it throws error message

grdinterpolate [ERROR]: Data cube read but none of -E, -S -T were given

Here is my versioinfo

BTW, when I look into the file U.nc, it says "GMT_version=6.4.0", I thought the latest one is 6.3.0.

Hmm, it looks I forgot to wrap those tests under a if GMTver >= v"6.4.0".
The line U = grdinterpolate("U.nc"); now (in GMT 6.4dev) reads the entire cube in memory. And you see the

:GMT_version = "6.4.0_b890342-dirty_2022.04.26 [64-bit] [MP]"

because that file was created with GMT's development version.

Note, you can read the cube with U = grdalread("U.nc"); but the layers are transposed in x,y (scanline instead of column-major). But the streamline functions should be able to recognize that and deal with it.

Hi @joa-quim,

Thank you for the prompt reply. I will then skip the tests in test_cube.jl or revert back to v0.41.2 for now as I am using GMTver == v"6.3.0".

BTW, I didn't find grdalread in GMT v0.42.0.

Sorry, it was a typo and a mistake. A typo because the correct name is gdalread. A mistake because that function still has troubles to tell apart raster and vector data. What works is gdaltranslate("U.nc")
