Error in rat test Command and Google Earth Engine Connection Issue

[jamesYu365]

Issue 1: TypeError during rat test command execution
When running the rat test command:

rat test -d ./rat_project/ -b GUNNISON -s ./rat_project/params/secrets.ini

I encountered the following error message:

object address  : 0x7f5ab8cd83a0
object refcount : 3
object type     : 0x5570a836d1c0
object type name: TypeError
object repr     : TypeError("unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'datetime.date' and 'datetime.datetime'")
lost sys.stderr

Could you provide guidance on resolving this issue?

Issue 2: Failed to Connect to Earth Engine
I followed the instructions for setting up Google Earth Engine (GEE) credentials as outlined in the Getting Ready and configured the secrets.ini file based on the RAT Secrets File.

However, the log file indicates that the connection to Earth Engine failed with the message:

Below is the configuration in my secrets.ini file:

# Enter service account (account_email, path to private json key) for Google Earth Engine
[ee]
service_account=rat-china-yubin@rat-china-442207.iam.gserviceaccount.com
key_file=/home/yubin/rat_project/params/rat-china-442207-7949a2af3cce.json

Could you please assist in resolving this connection issue with Google Earth Engine?

Thank you @jamesYu365 for raising the issue. It has been resolved in v3.0.15.

Note: This also fixes RAT-CWRDM issues with surface area computation.
