What changes in mphys 2.0 will be incompatible with this interface? We’ve been seeing the codecov connection errors a lot lately. I think you did some debugging last time you ran into it (thank you), but still no luck.

What changes in mphys 2.0 will be incompatible with this interface? We’ve been seeing the codecov connection errors a lot lately. I think you did some debugging last time you ran into it (thank you), but still no luck.

The changes in 2.0 will mostly be related to import restructuring and moving to enum classes to define MPhys vars. You can find a beta for the version here.

I'm not all that familiar with codecov, so I don't have any good answers for whats causing the issue.

Ok, then the upper bound won't be too challenging to fix once 2.0 is released. We've merged the past couple PRs as long as they pass the tests even if codecov fails. I'll try running again, but merge anyway if codecov still fails.
