Investigation Results

  • Investigated reported test failures in arithmetic tests
  • Verified all 88 tests pass in clean environment
  • Identified issue as environment-specific (likely stale bytecode cache)
  • Provided troubleshooting steps to user

Test Status

All tests pass successfully in a clean environment:

============================= 88 passed in 19.10s ==============================

Including the 8 arithmetic tests that were reported as failing:

  • test_mean_below_threshold_basic
  • test_mean_below_threshold_all_above
  • test_mean_below_threshold_all_below
  • test_mean_below_threshold_with_nan_input
  • test_mean_below_threshold_with_nan_threshold
  • test_mean_below_threshold_negative_values
  • test_mean_below_threshold_single_element_below
  • test_mean_below_threshold_single_element_above

Root Cause

The reported AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'signature' error indicates that mean_below_threshold was not properly compiled by Numba into a GUFunc in the user's environment. This is typically caused by:

  • Stale Python bytecode cache (__pycache__)
  • Stale Numba JIT cache
  • Incomplete or corrupted installation

Resolution

Provided user with cache clearing and reinstallation steps. The code itself is correct - mean_below_threshold is properly defined as a @guvectorize decorated function with correct signature (n),()->() and compiles successfully when the environment is clean.

Original prompt

There are test failing. Find out why and fix the code.

@copilot When I run

pytest --cov=dspeed...

I cannot reproduce this error in my environment - all 88 tests pass, including the 8 test_arithmetic.py tests. The error suggests that mean_below_threshold is not being properly compiled by Numba into a GUFunc.

Please try the following to resolve this:

  1. Clear Python cache and Numba cache:
find . -type d -name "__pycache__" -exec rm -rf {} + 2>/dev/null
find . -type d -name ".numba_cache" -exec rm -rf {} + 2>/dev/null
rm -rf ~/.cache/numba
  1. Reinstall the package in development mode:
pip uninstall dspeed -y
pip install -e '.[test]'
  1. Run the tests again:
pytest tests/processors/test_arithmetic.py -v

If the issue persists, please provide:

  • Python version (python --version)
  • Numba version (python -c "import numba; print(numba.__version__)")
  • NumPy version (python -c "import numpy; print(numpy.__version__)")

The function is correctly defined as a @guvectorize decorated function and should have the signature attribute when properly compiled.
