With rubinenv 9 we had astroquery 0.4.6 which supported caching, so we could store the cached version of the HD 111980 simbad table and it would use that. As of astroquery 0.4.8 they completely refactored the query system / units / fields / etc and also remove all caching ability.
I tried using vcr, but that crashed on record (some incompatibility between pyvo and new vcrpy maybe? I don’t know).
So my solution is to put special-case code in spectractor when running on jenkins. It’s not pretty, but it does work locally (at least).
