Description
I discovered that the Quaternion can be initialized with an invalid
q
.In some places the class assumes that quaternions are normalized, and it tries to enforce that in the
q
property. However, the check is not correct, and instead it checks that the norm is less than 1. For example, the following does not raise:This PR fixes this and adds the corresponding test to catch the issue.
Also, there was one test that was using
q=[0, 0, 0, 0]
, which is useless in all our use cases and can't be normalized. Usingq=[0, 0, 0, 0]
will raise an exception from now on and the test was fixed.Interface impacts
A bug was fixed in the constructor that allowed non-normalized quaternions. In particular, it allowed
Quat(q=[0, 0, 0, 0])
, which might be used (incorrectly) in some places. From now on this will raise an exception.Testing
