bisque Mount.status() fails until mount has been unparked once

Open AnthonyHorton opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug Calling pocs.mount.bisque.Mount.status() when the mount is parked will result in a TheSkyXTimeout error unless the mount has previously been unparked.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new Mount instance of bisque type.
  2. Call Mount.initialize()
  3. Call Mount.status(), get a TheSkyXTimeout error.
  4. Call Mount.unpark()
  5. Call Mount.status(), it will work.
  6. Call Mount.park()
  7. Call Mount.status(), it will still work.

Expected behavior Mount.status should always return either the mount status or a warning about being unable to retrieve the mount status.

I'm not able to recreate this although am using an existing ipython session. Will leave open for now.
