Bug ID: 420437
Summary: EKOS scheduler instructs Dome to open when weather is
still in alert state
Product: kstars
Version: git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: h...@lambermont.dyndns.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
EKOS scheduler cannot handle the situation where at first it did image, then it
closed down due to bad weather, and from this state with history it cannot
start when weather clears up again.
Even worse, when the Twilight interval reaches the new evening, scheduler
happily instructs the dome to open without noting that the weather is still in
alert state. (Luckily the Dome device driver refuses to open due to bad
weather). But when the weather later clears up Scheduler does not take action.
(It should only then instruct the Dome to open).
Here's a log of this case :
2020-04-22T22:25:49 Weather conditions are OK.
2020-04-22T22:03:03 Unparking dome...
2020-04-22T22:03:01 Warning: job 'hd224992' execution overlaps daylight, it
will be interrupted at dawn and rescheduled on next night time.
2020-04-22T22:03:00 Scheduler started.
2020-04-22T22:03:00 Scheduler is awake.
2020-04-22T06:15:16 Caution: weather conditions are in the DANGER zone!
2020-04-22T04:43:04 Shutdown complete.
So the observatory shut down this morning at 04:43, then just now at 22:03 it
said 'Unparking Dome', which the Dome driver refused. At this point weather was
still in alert state. Weather state cleared up 22 minutes later but that
initiated no action.
The Dome Scripting Gateway log :
2020-04-22T22:03:03: [WARNING] Weather is in the danger zone! Cannot unpark
dome.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- have weather and twilight boxes checked in the scheduler
- use a job that spans multiple nights
- let scheduler image
- let it close up
- let it run to the next evening
OBSERVED RESULT
- scheduler instructed the dome to open while weather was in alert state
- when weather cleared up nothing happened
- weather checkbox became greyed out the second evening
EXPECTED RESULT
- scheduler does not instruct dome to open when weather is in alert state
- scheduler continues imaging when weather clears up
- weather checkbox is not greyed out halfway a session
