From a6d264cf1bc9bbcd53613a3aa211255b8d690f19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Roos Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2025 10:39:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] Fix assert_equal with check_dim_order=False for Datasets with mixed dimension orders MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes #10704 The bug: assert_equal with check_dim_order=False was failing when comparing Datasets containing variables with different dimension orders. It would even fail when comparing a Dataset to itself. The fix: Transpose both objects to a canonical dimension order using the intersection of their dimensions. The ellipsis (...) handles any dimensions unique to either object, making the solution general and elegant. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- xarray/testing/assertions.py | 29 +++++++++++++++++----------- xarray/tests/test_assertions.py | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/xarray/testing/assertions.py b/xarray/testing/assertions.py index 474a72da739..79436160d44 100644 --- a/xarray/testing/assertions.py +++ b/xarray/testing/assertions.py @@ -85,24 +85,31 @@ def assert_isomorphic(a: DataTree, b: DataTree): def maybe_transpose_dims(a, b, check_dim_order: bool): - """Helper for assert_equal/allclose/identical""" + """Helper for assert_equal/allclose/identical + + Returns (a, b) tuple with dimensions transposed to canonical order if needed. + """ __tracebackhide__ = True def _maybe_transpose_dims(a, b): if not isinstance(a, Variable | DataArray | Dataset): - return b - if set(a.dims) == set(b.dims): - # Ensure transpose won't fail if a dimension is missing - # If this is the case, the difference will be caught by the caller - return b.transpose(*a.dims) - return b + return a, b + + # Find common dimensions and transpose both to canonical order + common_dims = set(a.dims) & set(b.dims) + if common_dims: + # Use sorted order as canonical, with ellipsis for any unique dims + canonical_order = sorted(common_dims) + [...] + return a.transpose(*canonical_order), b.transpose(*canonical_order) + return a, b if check_dim_order: - return b + return a, b if isinstance(a, DataTree): - return map_over_datasets(_maybe_transpose_dims, a, b) + # DataTree case needs special handling - only transpose b + return a, map_over_datasets(lambda a, b: _maybe_transpose_dims(a, b)[1], a, b) return _maybe_transpose_dims(a, b) @@ -139,7 +146,7 @@ def assert_equal(a, b, check_dim_order: bool = True): assert type(a) is type(b) or ( isinstance(a, Coordinates) and isinstance(b, Coordinates) ) - b = maybe_transpose_dims(a, b, check_dim_order) + a, b = maybe_transpose_dims(a, b, check_dim_order) if isinstance(a, Variable | DataArray): assert a.equals(b), formatting.diff_array_repr(a, b, "equals") elif isinstance(a, Dataset): @@ -227,7 +234,7 @@ def assert_allclose( """ __tracebackhide__ = True assert type(a) is type(b) - b = maybe_transpose_dims(a, b, check_dim_order) + a, b = maybe_transpose_dims(a, b, check_dim_order) equiv = functools.partial( _data_allclose_or_equiv, rtol=rtol, atol=atol, decode_bytes=decode_bytes diff --git a/xarray/tests/test_assertions.py b/xarray/tests/test_assertions.py index a0a2c02d578..66f17b53df2 100644 --- a/xarray/tests/test_assertions.py +++ b/xarray/tests/test_assertions.py @@ -220,3 +220,37 @@ def __array__( getattr(xr.testing, func)(a, b) assert len(w) == 0 + + +def test_assert_equal_dataset_check_dim_order(): + """Test for issue #10704 - check_dim_order=False with Datasets containing mixed dimension orders.""" + import numpy as np + + # Dataset with variables having different dimension orders + dataset_1 = xr.Dataset( + { + "foo": xr.DataArray(np.zeros([4, 5]), dims=("a", "b")), + "bar": xr.DataArray(np.ones([5, 4]), dims=("b", "a")), + } + ) + + dataset_2 = xr.Dataset( + { + "foo": xr.DataArray(np.zeros([5, 4]), dims=("b", "a")), + "bar": xr.DataArray(np.ones([4, 5]), dims=("a", "b")), + } + ) + + # These should be equal when ignoring dimension order + xr.testing.assert_equal(dataset_1, dataset_2, check_dim_order=False) + xr.testing.assert_allclose(dataset_1, dataset_2, check_dim_order=False) + + # Should also work when comparing dataset to itself + xr.testing.assert_equal(dataset_1, dataset_1, check_dim_order=False) + xr.testing.assert_allclose(dataset_1, dataset_1, check_dim_order=False) + + # But should fail with check_dim_order=True + with pytest.raises(AssertionError): + xr.testing.assert_equal(dataset_1, dataset_2, check_dim_order=True) + with pytest.raises(AssertionError): + xr.testing.assert_allclose(dataset_1, dataset_2, check_dim_order=True) From 96299cc6253b4ff0f85c2034a4ea1ee922c01229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Roos Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 15:21:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/8] Address review feedback: avoid sorting non-sortable dimension names MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;
