Alpha Testing

Accessing the Test Environment

Squirrel is available for testing from a conda environment on the dev-srv09 filesystem.

0. If you do not have conda installed, follow S3DF’s instructions.

1. In your .condarc, add /sdf/group/ad/eed/swapps/conda/envs under env_dirs.

2. Run conda info --envs to confirm squirrel-alpha is an option.

3. Run conda activate squirrel-alpha to activate the environment, and conda deactivate to leave the environment.

Notes

This test environment uses a shared backend, so any changes such as PVs edits and new snapshots will be available to other testers.

To enable fetching real PV values on a dev server, source /afs/slac/g/lcls/epics/setup/envSet_prodOnDev.bash. Live values can then be disabled by sourcing /afs/slac/g/lcls/epics/setup/envSet_dev.bash or loading a new session.
