Research direction

Start in visualCaseGen/custom_widget_types/runoff_mapping_generator.py at RunoffMappingGenerator.on_btn_generate_new_clicked, especially line 165, and trace get_suggested_smoothing_params. Reproduce the successful 20 km run and inspect why suggested_rmax becomes 5000.0; done means the successful operation no longer prints the ROF_OCN_MAPPING_RMAX constraint error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There is a rmax error printed even when I specified it to 20 km and it successfully run:

ile /glade/work/manishrv/installs/cesm3_0_beta08_gui/visualCaseGen/visualCaseGen/custom_widget_types/runoff_mapping_generator.py:165, in RunoffMappingGenerator.on_btn_generate_new_clicked(self, b)
    162 _, ocn_mesh_path = self.get_ocn_grid_and_mesh()
    163 suggested_rmax, suggested_fold = mapping.get_suggested_smoothing_params(ocn_mesh_path)

    354 self._assignment_assertions.pop(var, None)

ConstraintViolation: Invalid assignment of ROF_OCN_MAPPING_RMAX to 5000.0. Reason: ROF_OCN_MAPPING_RMAX must be less than or equal to 4000 km.
