pyctest 0.0.6.dev2

Python wrappers for generating CTest and submitting to CDash without a CMake build system

pyctest

Available on PyPi and Anaconda

• PyPi has the source distribution
  • PyPi installs can take a long time since CMake must be compiled from scratch
• Anaconda has compiled distributions

Travis

AppVeyor

Anaconda

Python Modules

• import pyctest -- global package

• import pyctest.pyctest -- CTest module

• import pyctest.pycmake -- CMake module

• NOTES:

  • This document uses pyctest.<...> as shorthand for pyctest.pyctest.<...> (e.g. import pyctest.pyctest as pyctest)
  • It is possible to call CMake from this package but it is generally not the purpose

Benefits

• Integration into continuous integration systems (e.g. Travis, AppVeyor, Jenkins, etc.) and pushing to CDash dashboard will combine all the results in one place
  • The warnings and errors are enumerated in CDash (no more parsing stdout logs for errors)
• Easily create platform-independent testing
• No need to migrate build system to CMake -- just specify pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND
• Easily download Miniconda/Anaconda in workflow before build + testing
  • Using default python: pip install pyctest and follow recipe in TomoPy PyCTestPreInit.cmake example

Standard Configuration Variables

• pyctest.PROJECT_NAME
• pyctest.SOURCE_DIRECTORY
• pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY
• pyctest.SITE
• pyctest.BUILD_NAME
• pyctest.TRIGGER
• pyctest.CHECKOUT_COMMAND
• pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND
• pyctest.MODEL
• pyctest.CUSTOM_COVERAGE_EXCLUDE
• pyctest.CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_ERRORS
• pyctest.CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_WARNINGS
• pyctest.CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_PASSED_TEST_OUTPUT_SIZE

Setting Arbitrary Variables

    pyctest.set("CTEST_TOKEN_FILE", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/.ctest-token")

Generating a Test

    test = pyctest.test()
    test.SetName("nosetests")
    test.SetCommand(["nosetests", "test", "--cover-xml", "--cover-xml-file=coverage.xml"])
    # set directory to run test
    test.SetProperty("WORKING_DIRECTORY", pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY)
    test.SetProperty("RUN_SERIAL", "ON")
    test.SetProperty("ENVIRONMENT", "OMP_NUM_THREADS=1")

Examples

• Basic example
• Advanced example
  • includes submission to CDash dashboard

CDash Integration Example

Results from running the TomoPy example can be found at the TomoPy CDash Testing Dashboard @ NERSC

• Python code with C extensions without CMake build system
• The build logs from "python setup.py install" are registered in the "Build" section
• The nosetests test command + other are wrapped into CTests

Basic Usage

Generates pycm-test/CTestTestfile.cmake but does not submit to dashboard

    pyctest.generate_test_file(directory)

    # run CTest -- e.g. ctest -VV ${PWD}/pycm-test
