Re: [IMP-dev] [IMP-build] Build system failure, 08/15/2012
guys, let's try to get one day of TOTALLY clean tests :) can people in charge of* cgal, isd and multifit *(Fast build only)** give a quick look to see if they can quickly solve the test issues (the atom case is known, and if other tests are solved, we'll handle that too). If there's a complicated issue behind these failures, we can temporarily disable those tests until the relevant person get to work on it. B

That's exactly what I will do, now that I have the test infrastructure running properly again. The MultiFit failures are not simple ones, but I will fix them. The ISD tests have been broken since day one, but hopefully Yannick will get around to fixing them...
BTW, never disable tests by removing them or commenting out. There is an expected failure decorator you can use for such tests (or you can skip them if they only fail some of the time). Such tests get logged so we know we still have to fix them in future.

Ben, we need this decorator also for atom (it is something with BD which is probably nothing) - can you explain how to use it (or just send me to an example code) Cheers Barak

Check out the unittest docs at python.org. IIRC, it looks something like
def my_test(self): ... my_test = expectedFailure(my_test)

Just add @expectedFailure to the line before the test you want to skip:
@expectedFailure def my_test(self): ...

That requires a newer version of Python though, so won't work.
Ben
It's possible since python 2.4!

Indeed, but our base is currently 2.3.

RHEL5, OS X 10.4, which are both super old of course. But there's no real pressing reason to aggressively drop Python 2.3, since unittest decorators (which as this discussion should have demonstrated are hardly used in IMP) are the only real syntax change.

The cgal one is something that does not work with the version of cgal installed there. A test failure on that platform seems like the most correct situation.

If something is broken, shouldn't we have a test failing to tell us that?
That said, I would really like more fine grained display (eg number of failing tests). That way one could tell at a glance when new tests broke.
Number of failed tests sounds like a great idea to me. Still, it is problematic that we get a "failure" notice every morning when all we have are known issues, it means that nobody cares what's in those tests anymore. I think Ben's decorator sounds like a great general solution to me (perhaps we can also mark failures in specific system builds, so we know if something shows up in another system). We can still keep known test failures in the report in parantheses, but this way the system will explicitly be aware of new failures possibly caused by careless changes to code, as opposed to known failed tests explicitly marked by a programmer.

I would simply change the email title to "results" :-) Given that there are a bunch of separate modules in there maintained by different people, I don't think it makes sense to aim for a state where a single bit provides useful information about all of IMP.
changing name to "results" might not be a bad solution :) As long as we get an indication about completely new failures that's good (I would actually put those in the subject line)

Yeah, being able to quickly determine how things compared with past days would be really nice.

I should add, until we move to git or something where people start using development branches more...

In fact, I added that to the build system yesterday. ;) I just need to add a UI - should be there soon.
Ben
Awesome. I should reach the commit messages more carefully :-)

Out of curiosity, what is the origin of the problem? Some of the tests fail with CGAL 3.8, but others with 4.0. Is there a version which does work?
Ben
Actually, now that I look at it some more the current tests On Aug 15, 2012, at 3:30 PM, Ben Webb ben@salilab.org wrote:

Actually, it appears I wasn't monitoring things well enough. The bad cgal versions seems to have been dropped, and it is something with compiler arguments now. Hmmm, I fail the build results monitoring test :-) Will look into it.
