Windows dashboard: Extension builds interrupted due to hardware issue

Support

Hello, a lot of extensions are missing from the extension manager on Windows. They either don’t even show up on the dashboard like SlicerIGT, or they show up but no built like SlicerRT. Could somebody please check what is wrong with the computer that builds extensions for Windows? Thanks!

As mentioned by @Sam_Horvath , we can now remove the banner.

Are there any approximate dates when Slicer Stable builds for Windows extensions will be working again?

All issues have been resolved (see the dashboard here).

There is still no update of extensions for Windows in Slicer Stable

Kitware (@Sam_Horvath, @jcfr) will have to follow up here since it is their Windows machine building things.

The corresponding open issue about rebuilding Slicer stable on bluestreak and building the Windows based extensions:

You are right. Extensions have not been getting updates on Windows for Slicer Stable Release since 2024-04-28 - see dashboard.

Until the extension updates become available again for the Slicer Stable Release, you can use the Slicer Preview Release, as it contains siginificant new features and all known regressions are resolved.

@Sam_Horvath It would be great if you could have a look, as we have a couple of new extensions and updates that would be nice to make avaialable for the stable release.

To follow-up, the build of stable extensions should now be restored.

Following pull request Slicer/DashboardScripts#70, the Slicer stable build scripts have been updated.

Earlier this afternoon, the Slicer Stable release script was triggered with the environment variable run_ctest_with_upload set to FALSE. Once completed, this will ensure the build tree required to build the Stable Slicer extensions is available.
