LOFAR Transients Pipeline Test Data

This repository contains the data required to run the test suite for the LOFAR Transients Pipeline (TraP).

Although available as a separate repository, it is available as a submodule with the TraP repository. To fetch a copy of the TraP and set up the repository for testing:

$ git clone git@github.com:transientskp/tkp.git
$ cd tkp
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Note that the submodule provides a pointer to a specific commit (SHA1) in the test data repository. This pointer is versioned along with the TraP. In other words, a given TraP version should always contain a pointer to the appropriate set of test data for that particular version. If you change the TraP so that a different set of data is needed, update the submodule appropriately. For example:

# Adding new test data
$ cd tkp/tests/data
# hack hack hack
$ git commit -m "Updated test data"
$ git push origin master

# Update the reference in the TraP project
$ cd ..
$ git commit data -m "Updated test data"
$ git push origin master
