MAINT: testing standards

[jklenzing]

Description

Addresses #127, pysat roadmap

Updates pytest standards by removing nose syntax, which will be removed in a future version.

Also updates the instrument test class usage, which will be updated in pysat 3.2.0.

The line "Updated tests to new pysat and pytest standards" in the changelog seems to describe these changes.

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How Has This Been Tested?

Via github actions and locally using pytest

Test Configuration:

• Operating system: Monterrey
• Version number: Python 3.10.9
• Any details about your local setup that are relevant: pysat version MAINT: remove support for meta children and 2d pandas pysat#1143

Test failure due to issue previously documents as #128. We could potentially put in a version limit (pysatNASA<=0.0.4) until the situation is sorted out.

[jklenzing]

pysatNASA 0.0.5 is required to run on the operational system. As far as the version caps go, where do you want this to fail?

[aburrell]

I am ok with the higher cap.

[jklenzing]

OK, I have a local fix that will fix pysatNASA in the next release (pending another pull here). Options for the meantime are:

• Keep the version cap for now, and the operational version will just not run (old numpy incompatibility)
• Remove the version cap. All workflows will run, but one test will always fail.

Preference?

[aburrell]

Let's go with: "Keep the version cap for now, and the operational version will just not run (old numpy incompatibility)"

[jklenzing]

The local fix is up at #132, using the pysatNASA branch at pysat/pysatNASA#209

[jklenzing]

Let's go with: "Keep the version cap for now, and the operational version will just not run (old numpy incompatibility)"

In which case, this is ready for review
