Methods Documentation

classmethod add_arguments(parser: ArgumentParser) None

Add arguments to the parser created by make_from_cmd_line.

Parameters:
parserargparse.ArgumentParser

The argument parser.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_kwargs_from_args as well.

classmethod add_kwargs_from_args(args: Namespace, kwargs: dict[str, Any]) None

Add constructor keyword arguments based on parsed arguments.

Parameters:
argsargparse.Namespace

Parsed command.

kwargsdict

Keyword argument dict for the constructor. Update this based on args. The index argument will already be present if relevant.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_arguments as well.

async classmethod amain(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, **kwargs: Any) None

Make a CSC from command-line arguments and run it.

Parameters:
indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

  • Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.

  • Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.

  • Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments for your CSC’s constructor.

assert_enabled(action: str = '') None

Assert that an action that requires ENABLED state can be run.

Parameters:
actionstr, optional

Action attempted. Not needed if this is called at the beginning of a do_... method, since the user will know what command was called.

async begin_disable(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_disable; called before state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_enable(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_enable; called before state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_exitControl(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_exitControl; called before state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_standby(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_standby; called before the state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_start(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_start; configure the CSC before changing state.

Parameters:
datacmd_start.DataType

Command data

Notes

The override field must be one of:

  • The name of a config label or config file

  • The name and version of a config file, formatted as <file_name>:<version>, where the version is a git reference, such as a git tag or commit hash. This form does not support labels.

async check_for_duplicate_heartbeat(num_messages: int = 5) int

Monitor heartbeat events and return True if any have a different private_origin.

Intended for use by check_if_duplicate.

The heartbeat loop should be running before this is called. This avoids the issue that if 2 CSCs are started at the same time then neither will see the other one’s heartbeat. This code also assumes that will be true; it will likely raise asyncio.TimeoutError if not.

Parameters:
num_messagesfloat

The number of heartbeat messages to read.

Returns:
originint

private_origin field of duplicate heartbeat, or 0 if none detected.

Raises:
asyncio.TimeoutError

If no heartbeat seen within the specified time.

async close(exception: Exception | None = None, cancel_start: bool = True) None

Shut down, clean up resources and set done_task done.

May be called multiple times. The first call closes the Controller; subsequent calls wait until the Controller is closed.

Subclasses should override close_tasks instead of close, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.

Parameters:
exceptionException, optional

The exception that caused stopping, if any, in which case the self.done_task exception is set to this value. Specify None for a normal exit, in which case the self.done_task result is set to None.

cancel_startbool, optional

Cancel the start task? Leave this true unless calling this from the start task.

Notes

Removes the SAL log handler, calls close_tasks to stop all background tasks, pauses briefly to allow final SAL messages to be sent, then closes the dds domain.

async close_tasks()

Shut down pending tasks. Called by close.

async configure(config)

Configure the CSC.

Parameters:
configobject

The configuration, as described by the config schema, as a struct-like object.

Notes

Called when running the start command, just before changing summary state from State.STANDBY to State.DISABLED.

async deescalate_alarm(alarm)

De-escalate an alarm by resolving the associated SquadCast incident.

Clear alarm.escalated_id and, if alarm.escalated_id is valid (does not start with “Failed”), tell SquadCast to close the alert.

async do_acknowledge(data)
async do_disable(data: BaseMsgType) None

Transition from State.ENABLED to State.DISABLED.

Parameters:
datacmd_disable.DataType

Command data

async do_enable(data: BaseMsgType) None

Authorization lists.

Notes

Add items if the data string starts with “+”, ignoring duplicates (both with respect to the existing items and within the data string). Remove items if the data string starts with “-”, ignoring missing items (items specified for removal that do not exist). Ignore whitespace after each comma and after the +/- prefix.

async do_setLogLevel(data: BaseMsgType) None

async escalate_alarm(alarm)

Escalate an alarm by creating a SquadCast incident.

Store the ID of the alert in alarm.escalation_id. If the attempt fails, store an error message that begins with “Failed: “ in alarm.escalation_id.

If self.model.config.escalation_url is blank then check the conditions in the Raises section, but do nothing else.

Raises:
RuntimeError

If pre-conditions are not met (escalation is not attempted):

  • alarm.escalated_id is not blank: the alarm was already escalated (or at least an attempt was made).

  • alarm.do_escalate false: alarm should not be escalated.

  • alarm.escalation_responder empty: there is nobody to escalate the alarm to (so do_escalate should never have been set).

async fault(code: int | None, report: str, traceback: str = '') None

Enter the fault state and output the errorCode event.

Parameters:
codeint

Error code for the errorCode event. If None then errorCode is not output and you should output it yourself. Specifying None is deprecated; please always specify an integer error code.

reportstr

Description of the error.

tracebackstr, optional

Description of the traceback, if any.

static get_config_pkg()

Get the name of the configuration package, e.g. “ts_config_ocs”.

async handle_summary_state()

Called when the summary state has changed.

Override to perform tasks such as starting and stopping telemetry (example).

Notes

The versions in BaseCsc and ConfigurableCsc do nothing, so if you subclass one of those you do not need to call await super().handle_summary_state().

async implement_simulation_mode(simulation_mode: int) None

Implement going into or out of simulation mode.

Deprecated. See simulation mode for details.

Parameters:
simulation_modeint

Requested simulation mode; 0 for normal operation.

Raises:
ExpectedError

If simulation_mode is not a supported value.

classmethod make_from_cmd_line(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, check_if_duplicate: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) BaseCsc

Construct a CSC from command line arguments.

Parameters:
indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

  • Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.

  • Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.

  • Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

check_if_duplicatebool, optional

Check for heartbeat events from the same SAL name and index at startup (before starting the heartbeat loop)? The default is False, to match the BaseCsc default. Note: handled by setting the attribute directly instead of as a constructor argument, because CSCs may not all support the constructor argument.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments for your CSC’s constructor.

Returns:
csccls

The CSC.

Notes

To add additional command-line arguments, override add_arguments and add_kwargs_from_args.

async output_alarm(alarm)

Output the alarm event for one alarm.

async put_log_level() None

Output the logLevel event.

async read_config_dir() None

Read the config dir and put configurationsAvailable if changed.

Output the configurationsAvailable event (if changed), after updating the overrides and version fields. Also update the version field of evt_configurationApplied, in preparation for the next time the event is output.

classmethod read_config_files(config_validator: Draft7Validator, config_dir: Path, files_to_read: list[str], git_hash: str = '') SimpleNamespace

Read a set of configuration files and return the validated config.

Parameters:
config_validatorjsonschema validator

Schema validator for configuration.

config_dirpathlib.Path

Path to config files.

files_to_readList [str]

Names of files to read, with .yaml suffix. Empty names are ignored (a useful feature for BaseConfigTestCase). The files are read in order, with each later file overriding values that have been accumulated so far.

git_hashstr, optional

Git hash to use for the files. “” if current.

Returns:
types.SimpleNamespace

The validated config as a simple namespace.

Raises:
ExpectedError

If the specified configuration files cannot be found, cannot be parsed as yaml dicts, or produce an invalid configuration (one that does not match the schema).
