feature
Description:
Removed the search of HDF4 library specifically.
Replaced the locate_hdf4 with a more general locate_sw.
Added the search of zlib.
Platforms tested:
eirene and all hdf group machines.
Feature/bug fix
Description:
The 'snapshot diff' command is run in all cases, even after the initial
"snapshot diff" and hosts are polled to run the test. It would not cause
any harm except wasting time repeating diff'ing. Also, the path is
quite right to invoke snapshot by merely "bin/snapshot diff" since it
has not "cd" to the right directory yet.
Solution:
Added a new option of "-nodiff" to skip the special diff request.
Then make "runtest" to call itself again with it to prevent
any further unnecessary diff'ing.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
"snapshot diff" will just run the diff and exit 0 is no significant
differences found between current and previous versions.
Runtest will try a "snapshot diff" and will skip test if no significant
differences are found.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
Replacing the hardcoding of default version for snapshot test
to a file, bin/snapshot_version. This way, runtest and snapshot
can be version neutral. Makes maintenance easier.
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Feature
Description:
The output of multiple tests of one host used to all go to the same
logfile. It is harder to find the beginning of each test.
Solution:
Added hour and minute (HHMM) into the logfile name. Different
tests should go to different files now. If a second test starts
within a minute of the previous test, their output will be all
in the same file. In the case, there are probably not that much
output to worry.
Platforms tested:
eirene
kludge
Description:
Somehow if consecutive "rsh houdin -n ..." are issued too close,
a "Connection refused" result. Then /usr/local/krb5/rsh falls
back to ordinary rsh protocal which of course won't work either.
Solution:
if the houdin to be tested is houdin, wait for 5 seconds before
launching the 'rsh ...' command. Hopefully the system admin can
fix the rsh problem.
Platforms tested:
eirene talking to houdin.
Feature (actually a kludge)
Description:
The old "setenv" option for the snaptest.cfg cannot handle
if there are white spaces in the setenv value part.
Added a "setenv2" that expects the value consists of 2 parts.
A better solution (like can parse in double quoted values) is
needed.
Platforms tested:
eirene with houdin (solaris 2.7)
feature
Description:
Recognize command line argument in the form of '--*' as
a configure command option by default. Since all normal
configure options are in the form of '--*', this will
simplify the "op-configure <option>" syntax. The latter
syntax is still kept in case one would want to pass in
some configure argument that does not fit this syntax.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Bug fix.
Description:
Did not update the expected strings for result of grand total test
time. Causing a false report of test failed to complete.
Solution:
Update the strings.
Platforms tested:
Eirene and modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
The previous coding using sed was not portable for all Unix
systems. Much easier to use 'cut' to parse the strings.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Bug fix
Description:
when a snaptest did not complete, it reported it as a failure
of the launching host, rather than the testing host.
Changed it to report the testing host.
Feature
Description:
Changed some output format.
Improved the CHECK_RSH to better report the result when failed.
Platforms tested:
eirene with nosuch and shalom. (made sure failures do occur)
Feature
Description:
Added the feature that ALLHOSTS can be set via the file
allhostfile in the snapshot directory. This reduces the
need to modify runtest for hosts changes.
Platforms tested:
eirene (did dry runs).
adjustment
Description:
When gondolin failed the 1.5 test, it moved ahead for the 1.4 test.
The 1.5 test usually takes 1 hour to complete but runtest only waited
30 minutes for the 1.4 cvs update to complete. So, gondolin ended
up failing the 1.4 test too.
Solution:
Changed the wait time to 90 minutes.
Added echo statements showing it is waiting for some event. This
would help the human knowing it is waiting for something.
Added more comments about the algorithm of the waiting.
Platforms tested:
Gotta be right. :-)
new feature
Description:
Added a new option -nocvs for no cvs commands.
Added a locking mechanism to show CVS checkout in progress
and other hosts should wait till it is done.
Platforms tested:
gondolin
Bug fix
Description:
Updated its default H5DIR value to the correct version branch
it is in now.
Platforms tested:
Will be tested by the daily test cron job.
New feature
Description:
Added a -debug line option and will pass it to other runtest invoked.
Removed the restriction of running one test per host. This way,
tests of different tests (e.g., with or without fortran) can be
run per host with all output saved in one log file.
Platforms tested:
Tried several runs of daily test.
Bug fix (feature)
Description:
It did not recognize the op-configure keyword as a possible
type of test.
Solution:
Added the feature to handle op-configure.
Platforms tested:
Linux, freebsd.
Bug fix, feature, cleaning code
Description:
It could not find bin/locate_hdf5.
Solution:
Explicitedly use the bin/locate_hdf5 in the snapshots/current area.
Also, added Usage page to be printed when -h(elp) is asked or when
there is error in command option.
Cleaned some old code no longer used.
Platforms tested:
eirene
new feature
Description:
It now reads a configuration file ($HOME/snapshots-hdf5/snaptest.cfg)
to set up the configure options of the tests, and what type of tests
to run for each host.
Platforms tested:
Eirene launched a full blown test on all machines involved in the
daily test.
Simple twist
Description:
snapshot used to just use whatever `hostname` returns. Often it
is the fully qualified name but sometimes just hostname without the
domain part. Inconsistent.
Solution:
Chopped off any domain part and use just the host name.
Use the 'cut' command rather than the sed with ncsa.uiuc.edu hardcoded.
Applied that to runtest too.
Platforms tested:
Should work. Will find out if the daily tests still work.
New Feature
Description:
It supports a configure file (snapshots.../snaptest.cfg).
Currently, it recognize comment lines (started with #)
and the standard configuration.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (Linux)
feature
Description:
Use the external locate_hdf4 instead of the internal function to
find the HDF4 software. Also set PATH to include the HDF4 bin
if found. That would help gurantee access to the 'hdp' tool.
(Need to do an explicite "export PATH" since DEC OSF1 sh does not
seem to export the changed value by default.)
Platforms tested:
Gondolin (DEC OSF1)
feature
Description:
revised it so that it can really run the snapshot tests.
It now first update the source in the snapshot area and then uses
the scripts in snapshot/current/bin.
Platforms tested:
modi4, arabica
New feature
Description:
This runs the hdf5 library testing via the snapshot script. Without
any argument, it runs the test for the current host. If -all is used,
it runs the tests on a predefined list of hosts.
Platforms tested:
This does not quite work yet as there are a few hardcoded pathnames
to find the script on remote machines. Committing it now to hold
the place so that others can see how it works.
