This fixes a fork bomb in `spack versions`. Recursive generation of pools
to scrape URLs in `_spider` was creating large numbers of processes.
Instead of recursively creating process pools, we now use a single
`ThreadPool` with a concurrency limit.
More on the issue: having ~10 users running at the same time spack
versions on front-end nodes caused kernel lockup due to the high number
of sockets opened (sys-admin reports ~210k distributed over 3 nodes).
Users were internal, so they had ulimit -n set to ~70k.
The forking behavior could be observed by just running:
$ spack versions boost
and checking the number of processes spawned. Number of processes
per se was not the issue, but each one of them opens a socket
which can stress `iptables`.
In the original issue the kernel watchdog was reporting:
Message from syslogd@login03 at May 19 12:01:30 ...
kernel:Watchdog CPU:110 Hard LOCKUP
Message from syslogd@login03 at May 19 12:01:31 ...

* add an --exclude-file option to 'spack mirror create' which allows a user to specify a file of specs to exclude when creating a mirror. this is anticipated to be useful especially when using the '--all' option
* allow specifying number of versions when mirroring all packages
* when mirroring all specs within an environment, include dependencies of root specs
* add '--exclude-specs' option to allow user to specify that specs should be excluded on the command line
* add test for excluding specs
This change also adds a code path through the spack ci pipelines
infrastructure which supports PR testing on the Spack repository.
Gitlab pipelines run as a result of a PR (either creation or pushing
to a PR branch) will only verify that the packages in the environment
build without error. When the PR branch is merged to develop,
another pipeline will run which results in the generated binaries
getting pushed to the binary mirror.
Modifications:
- [x] Travis now uses `bionic` as a default (`xenial` used for Python 3.5, `trusty` for Python 2.6)
- [x] Shell unit tests have been factored into their own run
- [x] `kcov` is built only for tests that upload coverage results
Overall with this we shave 3-4 mins. on each run and add an additional run of about 3 min. For some reason `kcov` 38 fails forwarding output when used with Python unit tests, so I used v34 for that and v38 (latest) for shell testing. Previously we were using v25.

Add a `spack external find` command that tries to populate
`packages.yaml` with external packages from the user's `$PATH`. This
focuses on finding build dependencies. Currently, support has only been
added for `cmake`.
For a package to be discoverable with `spack external find`, it must define:
* an `executables` class attribute containing a list of
regular expressions that match executable names.
* a `determine_spec_details(prefix, specs_in_prefix)` method
Spack will call `determine_spec_details()` once for each prefix where
executables are found, passing in the path to the prefix and the path to
all found executables. The package is responsible for invoking the
executables and figuring out what type of installation(s) are in the
prefix, and returning one or more specs (each with version, variants or
whatever else the user decides to include in the spec).
The found specs and prefixes will be added to the user's `packages.yaml`
file. Providing the `--not-buildable` option will mark all generated
entries in `packages.yaml` as `buildable: False`
* dev-build: --drop-in <shell>
Add a `--drop-in <shell>` option to `spack dev-build`.
This option will automatically run a
`spack build-env <spec> -- <shell>` at the end of a `dev-build`, e.g.
to quickly drop-and-devel into a build phase of a package.
Example usage:
```
spack dev-build --before cmake --drop-in bash openpmd-api@develop
```

Since #16132, we've consolidated the setting of FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE to
`autotools.py`, so we don't need to use it in packages like `coreutils`,
in our commands, or in our container recipes.
- [x] Remove FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE from packages
- [x] Remove FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE from container recipes
- [x] Remove FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE from `spack ci` command
`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` can frequently break builtin macOS software when
pointed at Spack libraries. This is because it takes *higher* precedence
than the default library search paths, which are used by system software.
`DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH`, on the other hand, takes lower precedence.
At first glance, this might seem bad, because the software installed by
Spack in an environment needs to find *its* libraries, and it should not
use the defaults. However, Spack's isntallations are always `RPATH`'d,
so they do not have this problem.
`DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH` is thus useful for things built in an
environment that need to use Spack's libraries, that don't set *their*
RPATHs correctly for whatever reason. We now prefer it to
`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in modules and in environments because it helps a
little bit, and it is much less intrusive.
If a user invoked "spack env activate example-henv", Spack would
mistakenly interpret the "-h" from "example-henv" as the "-h" option.
This commit allows users to create and activate environments with
"-h" in the name.
This issue existed for bash shell support as well as csh support, and
this commit addresses both, along with some other unrelated csh
support issues.
* add --skip-unstable-versions option to 'spack mirror create' which skips sources/resource for packages if their version is not stable (i.e. if they are the head of a git branch rather than a fixed commit)
* '--skip-unstable-versions' should skip all VCS sources/resources, not just those which are not cachable
* Buildcache command: add install option -o/--otherarch
This will allow matching specs from other archs, for example
installing macOS buildcaches on linux hosts.
* spack commands --update-completion
It's often useful to run a module with `python -m`, e.g.:
python -m pyinstrument script.py
Running a python script this way was hard, though, as `spack python` did
not have a similar `-m` option. This PR adds a `-m` option to `spack
python` so that we can do things like this:
spack python -m pyinstrument ./test.py
This makes it easy to write a script that uses a small part of Spack and
then profile it. Previously thee easiest way to do this was to write a
custom Spack command, which is often overkill.
This commit introduces a `--no-check-signature` option for
`spack install` so that unsigned packages can be installed. It is
off by default (signatures required).
This PR adds a new command to Spack:
```console
$ spack containerize -h
usage: spack containerize [-h] [--config CONFIG]
creates recipes to build images for different container runtimes
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--config CONFIG configuration for the container recipe that will be generated
```
which takes an environment with an additional `container` section:
```yaml
spack:
specs:
- gromacs build_type=Release
- mpich
- fftw precision=float
packages:
all:
target: [broadwell]
container:
# Select the format of the recipe e.g. docker,
# singularity or anything else that is currently supported
format: docker
# Select from a valid list of images
base:
image: "ubuntu:18.04"
spack: prerelease
# Additional system packages that are needed at runtime
os_packages:
- libgomp1
```
and turns it into a `Dockerfile` or a Singularity definition file, for instance:
```Dockerfile

FROM spack/ubuntu-bionic:prerelease as builder
# What we want to install and how we want to install it

Instead of another script, this adds a simple argument to `spack
commands` that updates the completion script. Developers can now just
run:
spack commands --update-completion
This should make it simpler for developers to remember to run this
*before* the tests fail. Also, this version tab-completes.
Previously the `spack load` command was a wrapper around `module load`. This required some bootstrapping of modules to make `spack load` work properly.
With this PR, the `spack` shell function handles the environment modifications necessary to add packages to your user environment. This removes the dependence on environment modules or lmod and removes the requirement to bootstrap spack (beyond using the setup-env scripts).
Included in this PR is support for MacOS when using Apple's System Integrity Protection (SIP), which is enabled by default in modern MacOS versions. SIP clears the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` variables on process startup for executables that live in `/usr` (but not '/usr/local', `/System`, `/bin`, and `/sbin` among other system locations. Spack cannot know the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` of the calling process when executed using `/bin/sh` and `/usr/bin/python`. The `spack` shell function now manually forwards these two variables, if they are present, as `SPACK_<VAR>` and recovers those values on startup.

This PR adds a `--format=bash` option to `spack commands` to
auto-generate the Bash programmable tab completion script. It can be
extended to work for other shells.
Progress:
- [x] Fix bug in superclass initialization in `ArgparseWriter`
- [x] Refactor `ArgparseWriter` (see below)
- [x] Ensure that output of old `--format` options remains the same
- [x] Add `ArgparseCompletionWriter` and `BashCompletionWriter`
- [x] Add `--aliases` option to add command aliases
- [x] Standardize positional argument names
- [x] Tests for `spack commands --format=bash` coverage
- [x] Tests to make sure `spack-completion.bash` stays up-to-date
- [x] Tests for `spack-completion.bash` coverage
- [x] Speed up `spack-completion.bash` by caching subroutine calls
This PR also necessitates a significant refactoring of
`ArgparseWriter`. Previously, `ArgparseWriter` was mostly a single
`_write` method which handled everything from extracting the information
we care about from the parser to formatting the output. Now, `_write`
only handles recursion, while the information extraction is split into a
separate `parse` method, and the formatting is handled by `format`. This
allows subclasses to completely redefine how the format will appear
without overriding all of `_write`.

The pathadd function was using setopt to configure zsh for word
splitting, which leaks out of the function and breaks default
functionality in a number of external zsh plugins and packages. This
switches to emulate -L, just as the spack function uses, to keep the
setting local to the function.
Previously, `spack test` automatically passed all of its arguments to
`pytest -k` if no options were provided, and to `pytest` if they were.
`spack test -l` also provided a list of test filenames, but they didn't
really let you completely narrow down which tests you wanted to run.
Instead of trying to do our own weird thing, this passes `spack test`
args directly to `pytest`, and omits the implicit `-k`. This means we
can now run, e.g.:
```console
$ spack test spec_syntax.py::TestSpecSyntax::test_ambiguous
```
This wasn't possible before, because we'd pass the fully qualified name
to `pytest -k` and get an error.
Because `pytest` doesn't have the greatest ability to list tests, I've
tweaked the `-l`/`--list`, `-L`/`--list-long`, and `-N`/`--list-names`
options to `spack test` so that they help you understand the names
better. you can combine these options with `-k` or other arguments to do
pretty powerful searches.
This one makes it easy to get a list of names so you can run tests in
different orders (something I find useful for debugging `pytest` issues):
```console
$ spack test --list-names -k "spec and concretize"
cmd/env.py::test_concretize_user_specs_together
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_conflicts_in_spec
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_children
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_none
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_parents
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_self
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_find_spec_sibling
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_no_matching_compiler_specs
concretize.py::TestConcretize::test_simultaneous_concretization_of_specs
spec_dag.py::TestSpecDag::test_concretize_deptypes
spec_dag.py::TestSpecDag::test_copy_concretized
```
You can combine any list option with keywords:
```console
$ spack test --list -k microarchitecture
llnl/util/cpu.py modules/lmod.py
```
```console
$ spack test --list-long -k microarchitecture
llnl/util/cpu.py::
test_generic_microarchitecture
modules/lmod.py::TestLmod::
test_only_generic_microarchitectures_in_root
```
Or just list specific files:
```console
$ spack test --list-long cmd/test.py
cmd/test.py::
test_list test_list_names_with_pytest_arg
test_list_long test_list_with_keywords
test_list_long_with_pytest_arg test_list_with_pytest_arg
test_list_names
```
Hopefully this stuff will help with debugging test issues.
- [x] make `spack test` send args directly to `pytest` instead of trying
to do fancy things.
- [x] rework `--list`, `--list-long`, and add `--list-names` to make
searching for tests easier.
- [x] make it possible to mix Spack's list args with `pytest` args
(they're just fancy parsing around `pytest --collect-only`)
- [x] add docs
- [x] add tests
- [x] update spack completion
This PR moves build smoke tests from TravisCI and migrates them to Github Actions. The result is that build tests are performed in parallel with unit tests and they don't hog additional resources on Travis. The workflow will not run if a PR only changes packages in the built-in repository, but will always run on pushes to develop or master.
* Removed build tests from Travis and passed them to Github Actions
* Store ~/.ccache in Github Actions cache
* Add filters on paths and make sure this workflow don't run
* Use paths-ignore and exclude only files in the built-in repo
* Added a badge to README.md
Before this commit we used to run the entire unit test suite
in the presence of a failure. Since we currently rely a lot
on the state of the filesystem etc. the end report was most
of the time showing spurious failures that were a consequence
of the first failing test.
This PR makes unit tests exit at the first failing test
Also, pin codecov at v4.5.4 (last one supporting Python 2.6)
* docker: add missing module to ubuntu images
* docker: fix issue with missing locale
* docker: one package per line + rm python2 support
* docker: ubuntu image also needs 'file' for buildcache creation
fixes#13073
Since #3206 was merged bootstrapping environment-modules was using the architecture of the current host or the best match supported by the default compiler. The former case is an issue since shell integration was looking for a spec targeted at the host microarchitecture.
1. Bootstrap an env modules targeted at generic architectures
2. Look for generic targets in shell integration scripts
3. Add a new entry in Travis to test shell integration
fixes#13005
This commit fixes an issue with the name of the root directory for
module file hierarchies. Since #3206 the root folder was named after
the microarchitecture used for the spec, which is too specific and
not backward compatible for lmod hierarchies. Here we compute the
root folder name using the target family instead of the target name
itself and we add target information in the 'whatis' portion of the
module file.
Dotkit is being used only at a few sites and has been deprecated on new
machines. This commit removes all the code that provide support for the
generation of dotkit module files.
A new validator named "deprecatedProperties" has been added to the
jsonschema validators. It permits to prompt a warning message or exit
with an error if a property that has been marked as deprecated is
encountered.
* Removed references to dotkit in the docs
* Removed references to dotkit in setup-env-test.sh
* Added a unit test for the 'deprecatedProperties' schema validator
fixes#12915closes#12916
Since Spack has support for specific targets it might happen that
software is built for targets that are not exactly the host because
it was either an explicit user request or the compiler being used is
too old to support the host.
Modules for different targets are written into different directories
and by default Spack was adding to MODULEPATH only the directory
corresponding to the current host. This PR modifies this behavior to
add all the directories that are **compatible** with the current host.
* Fix CD: Packages Service First
Build the packages.spack.io service images first, so they are
guaranteed to be pushed even if further images fail to build.
Fix the query to the `spack` script executed in later builds.
* CD: Remove Spack Images
Now done on Dockerhub.
- We don't currently make enough use of the maintainers field on
packages, though we could use it to assign reviews.
- add a command that allows maintainers to be queried
- can ask who is maintaining a package or packages
- can ask what packages users are maintaining
- can list all maintained or unmaintained packages
- add tests for the command
* fix docker builds/remove extra builds/add ci builds
* preinstall vim in CI builder images
* simplify & streamline docker resources
* restore os-container-mapping.yaml file
- [x] Add shell tests to ensure that `spack env activate`, `spack env
deactivate`, and `despacktivate` continue to work.
- [x] Also ensure that activate and deactivate both work with `set -u`
* Add template creation test
* Added --skip-editor option to "spack create": normally
"spack create" opens an editor for the user after generating a
package file; when the --skip-editor option is used, "spack create"
only generates the package file and does not open an editor
* Added --skip-editor option to bash completion
- `setup-env.sh` was not properly detecting a bash shell when bash was run
as /bin/sh.
- Detection routine now always reports bash when bash is run as sh, and
no longer parses the path to the executable indicated in `$BASH`.
- Add set -u to the setup-env.sh test script
- Refactor lines in setup-env.sh that tested potentially undefined
variables to use the `[ -z ${var+x} ]` construct
- tests use a shell-script harness and test all Spack commands that
require special shell support.
- tests work in bash, zsh, and dash
- run setup-env.sh tests on macos and linux builds.
- we run them on macos and linux
- replace use of [[ with [
- replace function foo { .. } with foo() { .. }
- wrap some long lines
- add lsof and /proc/fd magic so that we can find the sourced file even in dash
- only do the complicated shell checks in one place; test $_sp_shell
elsewhere.
- We've seen this a few times now where users have set up `cd` to echo
the new directory, and it screws up `setup-env.sh`
- In the past we've said this is user error.
- Here, we just fix it by sending `cd` output to /dev/null where needed.
- this works in bash, zsh, and dash
- Codecov cannot handle as many coverage reports as we are generating
- as a result, our PR coverage pages have been broken for a while, and
it's hard to tell people where to enhance their testing in PR reviews.
- Scale back to only running coverage for 3.7 and 2.7 unit tests
- This is *probably* better. We run the build tests for good measure,
but we do not need to evaluate them for coverage. The coverage reports
are about unit tests.
* Added a function that concretizes specs together
* Specs concretized together are copied instead of being referenced
This makes the specs different objects and removes any reference to the
fake root package that is needed currently for concretization.
* Factored creating a repository for concretization into its own function
* Added a test on overlapping dependencies
Usage of double quotes was preventing word-splitting when parsing
module roots in setup-env.sh, which lead to an error when multiple
module roots are used (in particular when Spack is pointed to use
an upstream module root in addition to its own).
Still look for BASH_SOURCE[0] first, but if it's not set,
_sp_source_file is initialized to an empty value addressing the
unset parameter error (line 217).
* initial work to make use of an 'upstream' spack installation: this uses the DB of the upstream installation to check if a package is installed
* need to query upstream dbs when adding new record to local db
* prevent reindexing upstream DBs
* set prefix on specs read from DB based on path stored in install record
* check that Spack does not install packages that are recorded as installed in an upstream db
* externals do not add their path to install records - need to use 'external_path' to get path of upstream externals
* views need to check for upstream installations when linking metadata
* package and spec now calculate upstream installation properties on-demand themselves rather than depending on concretization to set these properties up-front. The added tests for upstream installations don't work with this new strategy so they need to be updated
* only refresh modules for local specs (not those in upstream packages); optionally generate local module files for packages installed upstream
* when a user tries to locate a module file for a package installed upstream, tell them to use the upstream spack instance to locate it
* support recursive upstream databases (allow upstream databases to use their own upstream databases)
* separate upstream config into separate file with its own schema; each entry now also includes a name
* metadata_dir is no longer customizable on a per-instance basis for YamlDirectoryLayout
* treat metadata_dir as an instance variable but dont set it from kwargs; this follows several other hardcoded variables which must be consistent between upstream and downstream DBs. Also update DirectoryLayout.metadata_path to work entirely with Spec.prefix, since Spec.prefix is set from the DB when available (so metadata_path was duplicating that logic)
This spack command adds a new schema for a file which describes the
builder containers available, along with the compilers availabe on
each builder. The release-jobs command then generates the .gitlab-ci.yml
file by first expanding the release spec set, concretizing each spec
(in an appropriate docker container if --this-machine-only argument is
not provided on command line), and then combining and staging all the
concrete specs as jobs to be run by gitlab.
The built images are set up with fairly recent versions of gcc and
clang:
- centos_7: [ gcc@5.5.0 (built from src), clang@6.0.0 (spack-built from src) ]
- ubuntu_18.04: [ gcc@5.5.0 (system), clang@6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (system) ]
Adds four new sub-commands to the buildcache command:
1. save-yaml: Takes a root spec and a list of dependent spec names,
along with a directory in which to save yaml files, and writes out
the full spec.yaml for each of the dependent specs. This only needs
to concretize the root spec once, then indexes it with the names of
the dependent specs.
2. check: Checks a spec (via either an abstract spec or via a full
spec.yaml) against remote mirror to see if it needs to be rebuilt.
Comparies full_hash stored on remote mirror with full_hash computed
locally to determine whether spec needs to be rebuilt. Can also
generate list of specs to check against remote mirror by expanding
the set of release specs expressed in etc/spack/defaults/release.yaml.
3. get-buildcache-name: Makes it possible to attempt to read directly
the spec.yaml file on a remote or local mirror by providing the path
where the file should live based on concretizing the spec.
4. download: Downloads all buildcache files associated with a spec
on a remote mirror, including any .spack, .spec, and .cdashid files
that might exist. Puts the files into the local path provided on
the command line, and organizes them in the same hierarchy found on
the remote mirror
This commit also refactors lib/spack/spack/util/web.py to expose
functionality allowing other modules to read data from a url.
Spack shell detection in setup-env.sh was originally based on
examining the executable name of $$ (from "ps"). In some cases this
does not actually give the name of the shell used, for example when
setup-env.sh was invoked from a script using "#!". To make shell
detection more robust, this adds a preliminary check for shell
variables which indicate that the shell is bash or zsh; the
executable name of $$ is retained as a fallback if those variables
are not defined.
- currently just looks at patches
- allows you to find out which package applied a patch to a spec
- intended to work with tarballs and resources in the future.
- add tab completion for `spack resource` and subcommands
