Required extension not being installed in tests

Alex_Vergara · December 9, 2019, 11:10am

While building my extension I have set up a required extension (SlicerElastix) which runs fine, but when I want to test it in Docker it fails with this message:

144 CMake Warning at /usr/src/Slicer/Extensions/CMake/SlicerBlockAdditionalLauncherSettings.cmake:48 (message):
145   Dependent extension SlicerElastix cannot be found by CMake find_package(),
146   therefore paths variables cannot be imported from this extension.  The
147   problem can be resolved by generating SlicerElastixConfig.cmake by adding
148   include(${Slicer_EXTENSION_GENERATE_CONFIG}) to the top-level
149   CMakeLists.txt of the dependent extension.

I have a look at the offending file and indeed, it contains that line. So, I don’t know what it is happening here.

It appears that another extension, SequenceRegistration, is also having the same issue. That extension depends on Sequences and SlicerElastix. Here’s the nightly Windows build for SequenceRegistration that has the same CMake warning: http://slicer.cdash.org/viewConfigure.php?buildid=1770198.

A previous SlicerElastix error due to being a dependency was brought up in Failing Tests - ImportError: No module named Elastix, but that solution by @jcfr is evidently not working anymore.

lassoan · December 9, 2019, 5:57pm

When you build an extension, you need to pass location of all other extensions that it depends on, as CMake variables. For example, if you want to build Sequence Registration, then you need to set SlicerElastix_DIR=…

For 1-2 extensions with simple dependencies you may do this manually, but it may be simpler (especially when you build several extensions) to use Slicer’s extensions index build script: copy s4ext files that you want to build into a folder and specify that as Slicer_EXTENSION_DESCRIPTION_DIR. See the complete command-line here. This script determines dependencies between extensions, builds them in the correct order and passes all required paths to dependent extensions.

jamesobutler · December 10, 2019, 1:53am

@lassoan Do you have insight on how to fix the factory build of SequenceRegistration extension which specifies SlicerElastix as a dependent extension. Looking to solve this failing test specifically.

lassoan · December 10, 2019, 6:44am

Maybe we just need to add the missing ["Sequences", "Elastix"] dependency declaration here:

moselhy/SlicerSequenceRegistration/blob/master/SequenceRegistration/SequenceRegistration.py#L20




class SequenceRegistration(ScriptedLoadableModule):

  """Uses ScriptedLoadableModule base class, available at:

Adding Elastix in parent dependencies is the detonant for the error

Make sure to add SlicerElastix_DIR when configuring you project in CMake (or put all s4ext files in a folder and let Slicer extension build script to figure out dependencies, build order, and set all necessary CMake variables).

Do you mean adding SlicerElastix_DIR even when it is not there in the first place?
How to copy the s4ext file, shall I copy from web or do I need to create a local copy? There is already a folder of s4ext inside Slicer

lassoan · December 11, 2019, 4:21pm

Do you want to build extensions manually or make Slicer’s script build a list of extensions?

Alex_Vergara · December 12, 2019, 3:59am

Neither, I want Slicer to install required extensions automatically.

lassoan · December 12, 2019, 5:40am

Do you mean you bundle extensions with a custom Slicer build?

Alex_Vergara · December 12, 2019, 5:42am

I have made an extension that depends on another (Elastix) and I want that Slicer installs the required extension automatically. My extension shall be able to install in vanilla slicer-nightly.

lassoan · December 12, 2019, 5:55am

You need to specify the list of extensions yours depend on in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file (EXTENSION_DEPENDS variable). After this, you also need to regenerate the s4ext file and update it in ExtensionsIndex repository.

Alex_Vergara · December 13, 2019, 11:14am

I currently have (EXTENSION_DEPENDS variable)

May you please have a look to my extension and tell me what I am missing?

I am still having these errors

Alex_Vergara · December 19, 2019, 2:27pm

I still not able to force my extension to launch Elastix installation in tests

Alex_Vergara · March 2, 2020, 2:38pm

I have found a way to force install SlicerElastix from within python, however this requires Slicer Restart, this is not optimal, I wanted to do it from within the gitlab-ci itself but I get several errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "installElastix.py", line 2, in <module>
    emm = slicer.app.extensionsManagerModel()
AttributeError: module 'slicer' has no attribute 'app'
vtkDebugLeaks has found no leaks.

My installElastix.py script contains

import slicer
emm = slicer.app.extensionsManagerModel()
md = emm.retrieveExtensionMetadataByName('SlicerElastix')
emm.downloadAndInstallExtension(md['extension_id'])

I would recommend to build SlicerExtensions project, which downloads, builds, and tests a list of extensions (by default, it takes the list from ExtensionsIndex repository, but you can provide your own list instead). This project takes care of dependencies between extensinos: it builds them in the right order, and also passes all needed build directories to extensions that depend on others. This is used every night to build all the extensions.
