Github user agoodm commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/climate/pull/419 Right... but that does not mean there will be inherently nothing wrong with the rest of the test, since having access to these datasets is a prerequisite. What would we do then if we eventually make changes to the dap loader that have some sort of bugs, but don't notice them because the opendap test server is down as it is now and the tests falsely pass? I get that it is annoying to have constant build failures that aren't our fault, but at the very least I can is that the failures at least force you to investigate the logs. Conversely I fear that this would lead to us being less likely to check the build logs in the scenario I mention above since if you don't, you'd have know way of knowing that those tests were actually skipped.
