Packages can implement “detect_version” to support detection
of external instances of a package. This is generally easier
than implementing “determine_spec_details”. The API for
determine_version is similar: for example you can return
“None” to indicate that an executable is not an instance
of a package.
Users may implement a “determine_variants” method for a package.
When doing external detection, executables are grouped by version
and each group results in a single invocation of “determine_variants”
for the associated spec. The method returns a string specifying
the variants for the package. The method may additionally return
a dictionary representing extra attributes for the package.
These will be stored in the spec yaml and can be retrieved
from self.spec.extra_attributes
The Spack GCC package has been updated with an implementation
of “determine_variants” which adds the following extra
attributes to the package: c, cxx, fortran
The YAML config for paths and modules of external packages has
changed: the new format allows a single spec to load multiple
modules. Spack will automatically convert from the old format
when reading the configs (the updates do not add new essential
properties, so this change in Spack is backwards-compatible).
With this update, Spack cannot modify existing configs/environments
without updating them (e.g. “spack config add” will fail if the
configuration is in a format that predates this PR). The user is
prompted to do this explicitly and commands are provided. All
config scopes can be updated at once. Each environment must be
updated one at a time.

On Cray platforms, we rely heavily on the module system to figure out
what targets, compilers, etc. are available. This unfortunately means
that we shell out to the `module` command as part of platform
initialization.
Because we run subcommands in a shell, we can get infinite recursion if
`setup-env.sh` and friends are in some init script like `.bashrc`.
This fixes the infinite loop by adding guards around `setup-env.sh`,
`setup-env.csh`, and `setup-env.fish`, to prevent recursive
initializations of Spack. This is safe because Spack never shells out to
itself, so we do not need it to be initialized in subshells.
- [x] add recursion guard around `setup-env.sh`
- [x] add recursion guard around `setup-env.csh`
- [x] add recursion guard around `setup-env.fish`
* Move flake8 tests on Github Actions
* Move shell test to Github Actions
* Moved documentation build to Github Action
* Don't run coverage on Python 2.6
Since we get connection errors consistently on Travis
when trying to upload coverage results for Python 2.6,
avoid computing coverage entirely to speed-up tests.
* Activate environment in container file
This PR will ensure that the container recipes will build the spack
environment by first activating the environment.
* Deactivate environment before environment collection
For Singularity, the environment must be deactivated before running the
command to collect the environment variables. This is because the
environment collection uses `spack env activate`.

* Start moving toward a json buildcache index
* Add spec and database index schemas
* Add a schema for buildcache spec.yaml files
* Provide a mode for database class to generate buildcache index
* Update db and ci tests to validate object w/ new schema
* Remove unused temporary upload-s3 command
* Use database class to generate buildcache index
* Do not generate index with each buildcache creation
* Make buildcache index mode into a couple of constructor args to Database class
* Use keyword args for _createtarball
* Parse new json index when we get specs from buildcache
Now that only one index file per mirror needs to be fetched in
order to have all the concrete specs for binaries available on the
mirror, we can just fetch and refresh the cached specs every time
instead of needing to use the '-f' flag to force re-reading.
spack config add <value>: add nested value value to the configuration scope specified
spack config remove/rm: remove specified configuration from the relevant scope
* Added unit tests to Github Actions
* Set user e-mail and name for git tests to succeed
* Simplify setup.sh logic
* Replicate Travis script on Github Actions
* Update flags since '.' is not allowed
* Added badge, simplified workflow
* Remove pinning of coverage
* Remove unit tests run on Github Actions from Travis
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 ...
kernel:watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#110 stuck for 23s! [python3:2756]

* 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.
