Unfortunately not @zjans

I'm also getting the same error when running xr.open_dataset(store) even though I have accepted the EULA. Has anyone had success solving this?

I'm using pydap==3.2.2 and xarray==0.18.0, any help would be much appreciated!

```python import xarray as xr from pydap.client import open_url from pydap.cas.urs import setup_session

username = "my_username" password= "my_password"

url = 'https://goldsmr4.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/MERRA2/M2T1NXSLV.5.12.4/2016/06/MERRA2_400.tavg1_2d_slv_Nx.20160601.nc4'

session = setup_session(username, password, check_url=url) pydap_ds = open_url(url, session=session)

store = xr.backends.PydapDataStore(pydap_ds) ds = xr.open_dataset(store) ```

```html HTTPError: 302 Found

From what I can gather there are more serious back-end considerations needed before this can be progressed.

Personally, I've been monkey-patching this code in which has solved my particular use-case, hopefully it's helpful for yours.

class Dataset(xr.Dataset): """A multi-dimensional, in memory, array database.

A dataset resembles an in-memory representation of a NetCDF file,
and consists of variables, coordinates and attributes which
together form a self describing dataset.

Dataset implements the mapping interface with keys given by variable
names and values given by DataArray objects for each variable name.

One dimensional variables with name equal to their dimension are
index coordinates used for label based indexing.

To load data from a file or file-like object, use the `open_dataset`
function.

Parameters
----------
data_vars : dict-like, optional
    A mapping from variable names to :py:class:`~xarray.DataArray`
    objects, :py:class:`~xarray.Variable` objects or to tuples of
    the form ``(dims, data[, attrs])`` which can be used as
    arguments to create a new ``Variable``. Each dimension must
    have the same length in all variables in which it appears.

    The following notations are accepted:

    - mapping {var name: DataArray}
    - mapping {var name: Variable}
    - mapping {var name: (dimension name, array-like)}
    - mapping {var name: (tuple of dimension names, array-like)}
    - mapping {dimension name: array-like}
      (it will be automatically moved to coords, see below)

    Each dimension must have the same length in all variables in
    which it appears.
coords : dict-like, optional
    Another mapping in similar form as the `data_vars` argument,
    except the each item is saved on the dataset as a "coordinate".
    These variables have an associated meaning: they describe
    constant/fixed/independent quantities, unlike the
    varying/measured/dependent quantities that belong in
    `variables`. Coordinates values may be given by 1-dimensional
    arrays or scalars, in which case `dims` do not need to be
    supplied: 1D arrays will be assumed to give index values along
    the dimension with the same name.

    The following notations are accepted:

    - mapping {coord name: DataArray}
    - mapping {coord name: Variable}
    - mapping {coord name: (dimension name, array-like)}
    - mapping {coord name: (tuple of dimension names, array-like)}
    - mapping {dimension name: array-like}
      (the dimension name is implicitly set to be the same as the
      coord name)

    The last notation implies that the coord name is the same as
    the dimension name.

attrs : dict-like, optional
    Global attributes to save on this dataset.

Examples
--------
Create data:

I've added dask_dataframe_type = (dask.dataframe.core.DataFrame,) to pycompat but now see: ImportError: cannot import name 'dask_dataframe_type' despite it being in there

That makes sense, thanks @keewis

Thanks, yes I need to load the library for type-hinting and type checks.

When you say dask_compat is that the same as dask_array_compat? How would I use them instead of Dask, could I use say from dask_compat.dataframe.core import DataFrame as ddf instead of from dask.dataframe.core import DataFrame as ddf?

I've added a PR for the new feature but it's currently failing tests as the test-suite doesn't seem to have Dask installed. Any advice on how to get this PR prepared for merging would be appreciated.

During testing I'm currently encountering the issue: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dask'

How should testing of dask DataArrays be approached?

One of the things I was hoping to include in my approach is the preservation of the column dimension names, however if I was to use Dataset.to_array it would just be called variable. This is pretty minor though and a wrapper could be used to get around it.

Thanks for the advice @shoyer, I reached a similar opinion and so have been working on the dim compute route.

The issue is that a Dask array's shape uses np.nan for uncomputed dimensions, rather than leaving a delayed object like the Dask dataframe's shape. I looked into returning the dask dataframe rather than dask array but this didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the code and produced another issue as dask dataframes don't have a dtype attribute. I'll continue to look into alternatives.

Nothing like a transient error to keep everyone on their toes. Thanks again!

Thanks @dcherian, out of interest what would I have had to have done to remove that test failure?

For context this is the function I'm using to convert the Dask DataFrame to a DataArray.

```python def from_dask_dataframe(df, index_name=None, columns_name=None): def extract_dim_name(df, dim='index'): if getattr(df, dim).name is None: getattr(df, dim).name = dim

    dim_name = getattr(df, dim).name

    return dim_name

if index_name is None:
    index_name = extract_dim_name(df, 'index')
if columns_name is None:
    columns_name = extract_dim_name(df, 'columns')

da = xr.DataArray(df, coords=[df.index, df.columns], dims=[index_name, columns_name])

return da

df.index.name = 'datetime' df.columns.name = 'fueltypes'

da = from_dask_dataframe(df) ```

I'm also conscious that my question is different to @raybellwaves' as they were asking about Dataset creation and I'm interested in creating a DataArray which requires different functionality. I'm assuming this is the correct place to post though as @keewis closed my issue and linked to this one.

Have started to implement this but will continue the discussion in 3929

I've been trying to implement this and have managed to create a xarray.core.dataarray.DataArray object from a dask dataframe. The issue I'm encountering is that whilst I've enabled it to pass the coords and dims checks (by computing any elements in the shape or coords tuples with .compute), the variable that is assigned to self._variable still has an NaN in the shape.

The modifications I've made so far are adding the following above line 400 in dataarray.py: ```python shape = tuple([ dim_size.compute() if hasattr(dim_size, 'compute') else dim_size for dim_size in data.shape ])

coords = tuple([ coord.compute() if hasattr(coord, 'compute') else coord for coord in coords ]) ```

and on line 403 by replacing data.shape with shape that was created in the previous step.

The issue I have is that when I then want to use the DataArray and do something like da.sel(datetime='2020-01-01') I get the error: ```python

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-23-5d739a721388> in <module> ----> 1 da.sel(datetime='2020')

ValueError: conflicting sizes for dimension 'datetime': length nan on <this-array> and length 90386 on 'datetime' ```

This occurs due to the construction of Variable(dims, data, attrs, fastpath=True) on line 404, which converts the data to a numpy array on line 244 of variable.py.

I'm assuming there's an alternative way to construct Variable that is dask friendly but I couldn't find anything searching around, including areas that are using dask like open_dataset with chunks. Any advice on how to get around this would be much appreciated!

Thanks, I saw dask/dask#6058 but missed #3929.

If I'm understanding you correctly there should be no problem passing a dask array for the data parameters its just the dims/coords. If the _infer_coords_and_dims method on DataArrays was adapted to check for any dask.delayed elements and compute them would that enable this functionality or are there additional blockers? Thanks for your help with this.
