Pipelines: DAG pruning
During the pipeline generation staging process we check each spec against all configured mirrors to determine whether it is up to date on any of the mirrors. By default, and with the --prune-dag argument to "spack ci generate", any spec already up to date on at least one remote mirror is omitted from the generated pipeline. To generate jobs for up to date specs instead of omitting them, use the --no-prune-dag argument. To speed up the pipeline generation process, pass the --check-index-only argument. This will cause spack to check only remote buildcache indices and avoid directly fetching any spec.yaml files from mirrors. The drawback is that if the remote buildcache index is out of date, spec rebuild jobs may be scheduled unnecessarily.
This change removes the final-stage-rebuild-index block from gitlab-ci section of spack.yaml. Now rebuilding the buildcache index of the mirror specified in the spack.yaml is the default, unless "rebuild-index: False" is set. Spack assigns the generated rebuild-index job runner attributes from an optional new "service-job-attributes" block, which is also used as the source of runner attributes for another generated non-build job, a no-op job, which spack generates to avoid gitlab errors when DAG pruning results in empty pipelines.
The SPACK_PYTHON environment variable can be set to a python interpreter to be
used by the spack command. This allows the spack command itself to use a
consistent and separate interpreter from whatever python might be used for package
building.
* Procedure to deprecate old versions of software
* Add documentation
* Fix bug in logic
* Update tab completion
* Deprecate legacy packages
* Deprecate old mxnet as well
* More explicit docs
This adds a -i option to "spack python" which allows use of the
IPython interpreter; it can be used with "spack python -i ipython".
This assumes it is available in the Python instance used to run
Spack (i.e. that you can "import IPython").
- [x] add `concretize.lp`, `spack.yaml`, etc. to licensed files
- [x] update all licensed files to say 2013-2021 using
`spack license update-copyright-year`
- [x] appease mypy with some additions to package.py that needed
for oneapi.py
I lost my mind a bit after getting the completion stuff working and
decided to get Mypy working for spack as well. This adds a
`.mypy.ini` that checks all of the spack and llnl modules, though
not yet packages, and fixes all of the identified missing types and
type issues for the spack library.
In addition to these changes, this includes:
* rename `spack flake8` to `spack style`
Aliases flake8 to style, and just runs flake8 as before, but with
a warning. The style command runs both `flake8` and `mypy`,
in sequence. Added --no-<tool> options to turn off one or the
other, they are on by default. Fixed two issues caught by the tools.
* stub typing module for python2.x
We don't support typing in Spack for python 2.x. To allow 2.x to
support `import typing` and `from typing import ...` without a
try/except dance to support old versions, this adds a stub module
*just* for python 2.x. Doing it this way means we can only reliably
use all type hints in python3.7+, and mypi.ini has been updated to
reflect that.
* add non-default black check to spack style
This is a first step to requiring black. It doesn't enforce it by
default, but it will check it if requested. Currently enforcing the
line length of 79 since that's what flake8 requires, but it's a bit odd
for a black formatted project to be quite that narrow. All settings are
in the style command since spack has no pyproject.toml and I don't
want to add one until more discussion happens. Also re-format
`style.py` since it no longer passed the black style check
with the new length.
* use style check in github action
Update the style and docs action to use `spack style`, adding in mypy
and black to the action even if it isn't running black right now.
This adds a new `mark` command that can be used to mark packages as either
explicitly or implicitly installed. Apart from fixing the package
database after installing a dependency manually, it can be used to
implement upgrade workflows as outlined in #13385.
The following commands demonstrate how the `mark` and `gc` commands can be
used to only keep the current version of a package installed:
```console
$ spack install pkgA
$ spack install pkgB
$ git pull # Imagine new versions for pkgA and/or pkgB are introduced
$ spack mark -i -a
$ spack install pkgA
$ spack install pkgB
$ spack gc
```
If there is no new version for a package, `install` will simply mark it as
explicitly installed and `gc` will not remove it.

Users can add test() methods to their packages to run smoke tests on
installations with the new `spack test` command (the old `spack test` is
now `spack unit-test`). spack test is environment-aware, so you can
`spack install` an environment and then run `spack test run` to run smoke
tests on all of its packages. Historical test logs can be perused with
`spack test results`. Generic smoke tests for MPI implementations, C,
C++, and Fortran compilers as well as specific smoke tests for 18
packages.
Inside the test method, individual tests can be run separately (and
continue to run best-effort after a test failure) using the `run_test`
method. The `run_test` method encapsulates finding test executables,
running and checking return codes, checking output, and error handling.
This handles the following trickier aspects of testing with direct
support in Spack's package API:
- [x] Caching source or intermediate build files at build time for
use at test time.
- [x] Test dependencies,
- [x] packages that require a compiler for testing (such as library only
packages).
See the packaging guide for more details on using Spack testing support.
Included is support for package.py files for virtual packages. This does
not change the Spack interface, but is a major change in internals.

As of #18260, `spack load` and `spack env activate` now use
`prefix_inspections` from the modules configuration to decide
how to modify environment variables.
This updates the modules configuration documentation to describe
how to update environment variables with the `prefix_inspections`
section. This also updates the `spack load` and environments
documentation to refer to the new `prefix_inspections` documentation.
This PR reworks a few attributes in the container subsection of
spack.yaml to permit the injection of custom base images when
generating containers with Spack. In more detail, users can still
specify the base operating system and Spack version they want to use:
spack:
container:
images:
os: ubuntu:18.04
spack: develop
in which case the generated recipe will use one of the Spack images
built on Docker Hub for the build stage and the base OS image in the
final stage. Alternatively, they can specify explicitly the two
base images:
spack:
container:
images:
build: spack/ubuntu-bionic:latest
final: ubuntu:18.04
and it will be up to them to ensure their consistency.
Additional changes:
* This commit adds documentation on the two approaches.
* Users can now specify OS packages to install (e.g. with apt or yum)
prior to the build (previously this was only available for the
finalized image).
* Handles to avoid an update of the available system packages have been
added to the configuration to facilitate the generation of recipes
permitting deterministic builds.
As of #13100, Spack installs the dependencies of a _single_ spec in parallel.
Environments, when installed, can only get parallelism from each individual
spec, as they're installed in order. This PR makes entire environments build
in parallel by extending Spack's package installer to accept multiple root
specs. The install command and Environment class have been updated to use
the new parallel install method.
The specs and kwargs for each *uninstalled* package (when not force-replacing
installations) of an environment are collected, passed to the `PackageInstaller`,
and processed using a single build queue.
This introduces a `BuildRequest` class to track install arguments, and it
significantly cleans up the code used to track package ids during installation.
Package ids in the build queue are now just DAG hashes as you would expect,
Other tasks:
- [x] Finish updating the unit tests based on `PackageInstaller`'s use of
`BuildRequest` and the associated changes
- [x] Change `environment.py`'s `install_all` to use the `PackageInstaller` directly
- [x] Change the `install` command to leverage the new installation process for multiple specs
- [x] Change install output messages for external packages, e.g.:
`[+] /usr` -> `[+] /usr (external bzip2-1.0.8-<dag-hash>`
- [x] Fix incomplete environment install's view setup/update and not confirming all
packages are installed (?)
- [x] Ensure externally installed package dependencies are properly accounted for in
remaining build tasks
- [x] Add tests for coverage (if insufficient and can identity the appropriate, uncovered non-comment lines)
- [x] Add documentation
- [x] Resolve multi-compiler environment install issues
- [x] Fix issue with environment installation reporting (restore CDash/JUnit reports)
Previously, we hardcoded a list of Spack versions which could be used by the containerize command.
This PR removes that list. It's a maintenance burden when cutting a release, and prevents older versions of Spack from creating containers to be used by newer versions.
fixes#15183
- Moved the container related content from
workflows.rst into containers.rst
- Deleted the docker_for_developers.rst file,
since it describes an outdated procedure

Shell integration no longer requires setting `SPACK_ROOT`, so we can
simplify the documentation on it. The docs on shell support and using
packages are getting a bit old, and information on `spack load` (which
seems to be everyone's most common way of using packages) is hard to
find.
This PR simplifies the shell documentation to remove SPACK_ROOT, and also
moves some sections around for clearer organization.
- [x] make docs on sourcing setup scripts clearer and simpler
- [x] introduce `spack load` early in the basic usage guide instead of
burying it in the module docs
- [x] clean up module docs so that spack module tcl loads comes later
- [x] be clear about the different ways to use packages so that the users
can find the docs better.

The package list at https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/package_list.html claims "it is automatically generated based on the packages in the latest Spack release" but it is actually based on the develop branch. This leads to confusion when users find that e.g. herwigpp is included in the list, but it cannot be found when they install the latest release. That latest release has a package list at https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package_list.html which does indeed not include herwigpp.
Changing the language from "the latest Spack release" to "this Spack version" might make that clearer. Maybe.
Update pipelines documentation to describe how 'tags', 'variables',
'image', 'before_script', 'script', and 'after_script' can be
supplied at the top level, to be used by any of the runner mappings,
and also overridden by any of the runner mappings.
Also show an example of capturing the custom spack SHA at pipeline
generation time, so all jobs are sure to run with the same version
of spack, as a means to illustrate the $env:VARIABLE_NAME syntax.
