Tests are failing

There seems to be an issue with conda?

@jbusecke do you know what is going on?

[jbusecke]

Short answer: Not really.

BUT I believe I have encountered this before and it was fixable by using micromamba. See for example the changes made in xgcm

Ok I started #164, but saw that we only deal with pip requirements here? Why are we even using mamba/conda at all?

Thanks @jbusecke! I am confused about this, too. You set up the testing framework originally, so I trusted you on this. ;)

I think we want to use conda to make contributions easier and the notebooks reproducible by users. But your question might be separate from this, namely whether we need conda for the testing framework?

@jbusecke pinging you again so we can hopefully resolve this issue. Thanks! :)
