March 24, 2018: Nightly build manually re-triggered after fixing regression due to rename of vtkNRRDReader, vtkNRRDWriter to vtkTeemNRRD{R,W}

What happen ?

  • vtkNRRDReader, vtkNRRDWriter classes were renamed to vtkTeemNRRDReader and vtkTeemNRRDWriter in r27102
  • Project impacted by the rename were all updated :+1:
  • but the update of the MultiVolumeExplorer hash was done after commit r27102 and the associated reference in Slicer/SuperBuild.cmake had NOT been updated as part of commit r27102 :-1:
  • To fix this, the MultiVolumeExplorer hash was updated in r27105 :+1:

Next time ?

  • Let’s make sure to update references of impacted Slicer Remote Module or any other external projects (files Slicer/SuperBuild/External_*.cmake) also impacted in the commit introducing the breaking change.

Dashboard ?

  • existing macOS and Windows entries were manually removed

  • For these reasons, the dashboard will not show anything in the “Update” column.

Sorry about that. I’m not sure if it is possible with cmake, but would be nice if there was a way to ensure that out-of-tree code can’t break the build.

It is already possible to configure Slicer setting a hash of your choice for external project [1][2], would it help to have the same option for Slicer Remote ?

I meant more along the lines of make -k (continue after failure excluding failed target dependees). We wouldn’t want to run the whole build like that, but it would be fine for remotes.

For users, a partially successful package would simply appear to be broken: some features are missing/not working). Missing parts of the core could cause various additional errors in extensions. I would rather not have a package with so many issues at all.
