* Disable spec colorization when redirecting stdout and add command line flag to re-enable
* Add command line `--color` flag to control output colorization
* Add options to `llnl.util.tty.color` to allow color to be auto/always/never
* Add `Spec.cformat()` function to be used when `format()` should have auto-coloring
- Lock test can be run either as a node-local test or as an MPI test.
- Lock test is now parametrized by filesystem, so you can test the
locking capabilities of your NFS, Lustre, or GPFS filesystem. See docs
for details.
PR #3367 inadvertently changed the semantics of _find_recursive and
_find_non_recursive so that the returned list are not ordered as the
input search list. This commit restores the original semantic, and adds
tests to verify it.
Modifications:
- added support for multi-valued variants
- refactored code related to variants into variant.py
- added new generic features to AutotoolsPackage that leverage multi-valued variants
- modified openmpi to use new features
- added unit tests for the new semantics
## Motivation
Python installations are both important and unfortunately inconsistent. Depending on the Python version, OS, and the strength of the Earth's magnetic field when it was installed, the name of the Python executable, directory containing its libraries, library names, and the directory containing its headers can vary drastically.
I originally got into this mess with #3274, where I discovered that Boost could not be built with Python 3 because the executable is called `python3` and we were telling it to use `python`. I got deeper into this mess when I started hacking on #3140, where I discovered just how difficult it is to find the location and name of the Python libraries and headers.
Currently, half of the packages that depend on Python and need to know this information jump through hoops to determine the correct information. The other half are hard-coded to use `python`, `spec['python'].prefix.lib`, and `spec['python'].prefix.include`. Obviously, none of these packages would work for Python 3, and there's no reason to duplicate the effort. The Python package itself should contain all of the information necessary to use it properly. This is in line with the recent work by @alalazo and @davydden with respect to `spec['blas'].libs` and friends.
## Prefix
For most packages in Spack, we assume that the installation directory is `spec['python'].prefix`. This generally works for anything installed with Spack, but gets complicated when we include external packages. Python is a commonly used external package (it needs to be installed just to run Spack). If it was installed with Homebrew, `which python` would return `/usr/local/bin/python`, and most users would erroneously assume that `/usr/local` is the installation directory. If you peruse through #2173, you'll immediately see why this is not the case. Homebrew actually installs Python in `/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12_2` and symlinks the executable to `/usr/local/bin/python`. `PYTHONHOME` (and presumably most things that need to know where Python is installed) needs to be set to the actual installation directory, not `/usr/local`.
Normally I would say, "sounds like user error, make sure to use the real installation directory in your `packages.yaml`". But I think we can make a special case for Python. That's what we decided in #2173 anyway. If we change our minds, I would be more than happy to simplify things.
To solve this problem, I created a `spec['python'].home` attribute that works the same way as `spec['python'].prefix` but queries Python to figure out where it was actually installed. @tgamblin Is there any way to overwrite `spec['python'].prefix`? I think it's currently immutable.
## Command
In general, Python 2 comes with both `python` and `python2` commands, while Python 3 only comes with a `python3` command. But this is up to the OS developers. For example, `/usr/bin/python` on Gentoo is actually Python 3. Worse yet, if someone is using an externally installed Python, all 3 commands may exist in the same directory! Here's what I'm thinking:
If the spec is for Python 3, try searching for the `python3` command.
If the spec is for Python 2, try searching for the `python2` command.
If neither are found, try searching for the `python` command.
## Libraries
Spack installs Python libraries in `spec['python'].prefix.lib`. Except on openSUSE 13, where it installs to `spec['python'].prefix.lib64` (see #2295 and #2253). On my CentOS 6 machine, the Python libraries are installed in `/usr/lib64`. Both need to work.
The libraries themselves change name depending on OS and Python version. For Python 2.7 on macOS, I'm seeing:
```
lib/libpython2.7.dylib
```
For Python 3.6 on CentOS 6, I'm seeing:
```
lib/libpython3.so
lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
lib/libpython3.6m.so -> lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
```
Notice the `m` after the version number. Yeah, that's a thing.
## Headers
In Python 2.7, I'm seeing:
```
include/python2.7/pyconfig.h
```
In Python 3.6, I'm seeing:
```
include/python3.6m/pyconfig.h
```
It looks like all Python 3 installations have this `m`. Tested with Python 3.2 and 3.6 on macOS and CentOS 6
Spack has really nice support for libraries (`find_libraries` and `LibraryList`), but nothing for headers. Fixed.
`set_executable` now checks if a user/group.other had read permission
on a file and if it does then it sets the corresponding executable
bit.
See #1483.
- Get rid of pkgsort() usage for preferred variants.
- Concretization is now entirely based on key-based sorting.
- Remove PreferredPackages class and various spec cmp() methods.
- Replace with PackagePrefs class that implements a key function for
sorting according to packages.yaml.
- Clear package pref caches on config test.
- Explicit compare methods instead of total_ordering in Version.
- Our total_ordering backport wasn't making Python 3 happy for some
reason.
- Python 3's functools.total_ordering and spelling the operators out
fixes the problem.
- Fix unicode issues with spec hashes, json, & YAML
- Try to use str everywhere and avoid unicode objects in python 2.
- convert print, StringIO, except as, octals, izip
- convert print statement to print function
- convert StringIO to six.StringIO
- remove usage of csv reader in Spec, in favor of simple regex
- csv reader only does byte strings
- convert 0755 octal literals to 0o755
- convert `except Foo, e` to `except Foo as e`
- fix a few places `str` is used.
- may need to switch everything to str later.
- convert iteritems usages to use six.iteritems
- fix urllib and HTMLParser
- port metaclasses to use six.with_metaclass
- More octal literal conversions for Python 2/3
- Fix a new octal literal.
- Convert `basestring` to `six.string_types`
- Convert xrange -> range
- Fix various issues with encoding, iteritems, and Python3 semantics.
- Convert contextlib.nested to explicitly nexted context managers.
- Convert use of filter() to list comprehensions.
- Replace reduce() with list comprehensions.
- Clean up composite: replace inspect.ismethod() with callable()
- Python 3 doesn't have "method" objects; inspect.ismethod returns False.
- Need to use callable in Composite to make it work.
- Update colify to use future division.
- Fix zip() usages that need to be lists.
- Python3: Use line-buffered logging instead of unbuffered.
- Python3 raises an error with unbuffered I/O
- See https://bugs.python.org/issue17404
- Added a new interface for Specs to pass build information
- Calls forwarded from Spec to Package are now explicit
- Added descriptor within Spec to manage forwarding
- Added state in Spec to maintain query information
- Modified a few packages (the one involved in spack install pexsi) to showcase changes
- This uses an object wrapper to `spec` to implement the `libs` sub-calls.
- wrapper is returned from `__getitem__` only if spec is concrete
- allows packagers to access build information easily
Previously, fix_darwin_install_name would only handle dependencies that have no path set, and it ignore dependencies that have the build directory as path baked in. Catch this, and replace it by the install directory.
* Porting: substitute nose with ytest
This huge commit substitutes nose with pytest as a testing system. Things done here:
* deleted external/nose as it is no longer used
* moved mock resources in their own directory 'test/mock/'
* ported two tests (cmd/find, build_system) to pytest native syntax as an example
* build_environment, log: used monkeypatch instead of try/catch
* moved global mocking of fetch_cache to an auto-used fixture
* moved global mocking from test/__init__.py to conftest.py
* made `spack test` a wrapper around pytest
* run-unit-tests: avoid running python 2.6 tests under coverage to speed them up
* use `pytest --cov` instead of coverage run to cut down testing time
* mock/packages_test: moved mock yaml configuration to files instead of leaving it in the code as string literals
* concretize.py: ported tests to native pytest, reverted multiprocessing in pytest.ini as it was creating the wrong report for coveralls
* conftest.py, fixtures: added docstrings
* concretize_preferences.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest

* svn_fetch.py, mirror.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
repo.py: deleted
* test_compiler_cmd.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* cmd/module.py, cmd/uninstall.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockDatabase
* database.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockDatabase, removed mock/database
* pytest: uncluttering fixture implementations
* database: changing the scope to 'module'
* config.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest
* spec_dag.py, spec_semantics.py: uses fixtures instead of subclassing MockPackagesTest

* pytest: added docstrings to all the fixtures
* pytest: final cleanup
* build_system_guess.py: fixed naming and docstrings as suggested by @scheibelp
* spec_syntax.py: added expected failure on parsing multiple specs closes#1976
* Add pytest and pytest-cov to Spack externals.
* Make `spack flake8` ignore externals.
* run-unit-tests runs spack test and not pytest.
* Remove all the special stuff for `spack test`
- Remove `conftest.py` magic and all the special case stuff in `bin/spack`
- Spack commands can optionally take unknown arguments, if they want to
handle them.
- `spack test` is now a command like the others.
- `spack test` now just delegates its arguments to `pytest`, but it does
it by receiving unknown arguments and NOT taking an explicit
help argument.
* Fix error in fixtures.
* Improve `spack test` command a bit.
- Now supports an approximation of the old simple interface
- Also supports full pytest options if you want them.
* Use external coverage instead of pytest-cov
* Make coverage use parallel-mode.
* change __init__.py docs to include pytest
* inheritance of directives: using meta-classes to inject attributes coming from directives into packages + lazy directives
* _dep_types -> dependency_types
* using a meta-class to inject directives into packages
* directives are lazy
fixes#2466
* directives.py: allows for multiple inheritance. Added blank lines as suggested by @tgamblin
* directives.py: added a test for simple inheritance of directives
* Minor improvement requested by @tgamblin
CMakePackage: importing names from spack.directives
directives: wrap __new__ to respect pep8
* Refactoring requested by @tgamblin
directives: removed global variables in favor of class variables. Simplified the interface for directives (they return a callable on a package or a list of them).
The option -s now causes file and line number information to be printed
along with any invocation of msg, info, etc...
This will greatly ease debugging.
* spack install: forward sys.stdin to child processes fixes#2140
- [ ] redirection process is spawned in __enter__ instead of __init__
- [ ] sys.stdin is forwarded to child processes
* log: wrapped __init__ definition
- Closing and re-opening to upgrade to write will lose all existing read
locks on this process.
- If we didn't allow ranges, sleeping until no reads would work.
- With ranges, we may never be able to take some legal write locks
without invalidating all reads. e.g., if a write lock has distinct
range from all reads, it should just work, but we'd have to close the
file, reopen, and re-take reads.
- It's easier to just check whether the file is writable in the first
place and open for writing from the start.
- Lock now only opens files read-only if we *can't* write them.
A use case where the previous approach was failing is :
- more than one spack process running on compute nodes
- stage directory is a link to fast LOCAL storage
In this case the processes may try to unlink something that is "dead" for them, but actually used by other processes on storage they cannot see.
* Turned <provider>_libs into an iterable
Modifications :
- added class LibraryList + unit tests
- added convenience functions `find_libraries` and `dedupe`
- modifed non Intel blas/lapack providers
- modified packages using blas_shared_libs and similar functions
* atlas : added pthread variant
* intel packages : added lapack_libs and blas_libs
* find_library_path : removed unused function
* PR review : fixed last issues
* LibraryList : added test on __add__ return type
* LibraryList : added __radd__ fixed unit tests
fix : failing unit tests due to missing `self`
* cp2k and dependecies : fixed blas-lapack related statements in package.py
Major stuff:
- Created a FileCache for managing user cache files in Spack. Currently just
handles virtuals.
- Moved virtual cache from the repository to the home directory so that users do
not need write access to Spack repositories to use them.
- Refactored `Transaction` class in `database.py` -- moved it to
`LockTransaction` in `lock.py` and made it reusable by other classes.
Other additions:
- Added tests for file cache and transactions.
- Added a few more tests for database
- Fixed bug in DB where writes could happen even if exceptions were raised
during a transaction.
- `spack uninstall` now attempts to repair the database when it discovers that a
prefix doesn't exist but a DB record does.
