Nightly -> 4.8

New page

<noinclude>{{documentation/versioncheck}}</noinclude>
=Overview=

The Slicer factory machine is maintained by [http://www.kitware.com Kitware] and produces dashboard builds of many software projects, including nightly, continuous, and packaged versions of Slicer and its approved extensions. See the [http://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=Slicer4 Slicer4 dashboard].

These builds are generated every day on three different operating systems: Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Linux. Because it is not legal to run any version of Mac OS X on a virtual machine (unless its host also runs Mac OS X), the host OS is Mac OS X, and the Windows and Linux builds are run within this machine as virtual machines.

==Required factory components==

See [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Tutorials/DashboardSetup|dashboard prerequisites]].

=Host(s)=

== factory.kitware ==

=== Software ===
The factory machine runs Mac OS X v10.6.8, Snow Leopard.
* CMake version: 3.9.0 (before 2017/07/04 was 3.5.0-rc3 with [https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/compare/master...jcfr:osx-framework this patch])
** Since CMake release >= 3.6 is compiled only for >= 10.7, a custom build of cmake was done with <code>-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/Users/kitware/Dashboards/Support/CMake-3.9.0.app/Contents</code>
* Compiler llvm-3.1. Note that the default compiled shipped with XCode 4.2 is not used. See [http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/MacOSX-factory-build-Transitioning-from-hybrid-quot-llvm-g-quot-to-quot-clang-quot-Update-to-Qt-4-8-6-tt4032198.html#a4032199 here] for more details.
* Tasks scheduled using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron cron]

* Nightly generation of HomebrewCasks: [[Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Factory/HomeBrewInstall|Installation aborted]] (newer system is required for <tt>homebrew/cask-repair</tt>).

=== Remote access ===

Remote access: Via SSH or VNC from Kitware internal network (10.171.2.113).

=VM: Windows 7=

* Tasks are scheduled using the Windows Task Scheduler (Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Task Scheduler)
* On Windows, instead of bash, we use batch scripts comprised of commands to call ctest to run all the nightly scripts.

== factory-south-win7.kitware ==

<b>This VM is shutdown, build have been moved to overload.kitware</b>

* Windows 7 Ultimate N - Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) on an x86 platform.
* CMake version: 3.5.0-rc3
* Compiler: VS2013 Community Edition
* Processors: 6
* Memory: 16GB

Also, keep in mind the [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Tutorials/DashboardSetup#Remarks remarks]] about building a dashboard on a Windows machine. These all apply here.

Remote access: Via Remote Desktop from Kitware internal network (10.171.2.245).

== Check Virtual Machines (factory-south-ubuntu) ==

<b>factory-south-win7 VM is shutdown, build have been moved to overload.kitware</b>

=== When ===

Every day (or as soon as issues are suspected)

=== What ===

* Try to:
** SSH into factory-south-ubuntu


* If failure:
** Connect to <code>factory.south</code> and check the state of the virtual machines.

* Are the virtual machine unresponsive ?

* '''No''' -> No further action required
* '''Yes''' -> Read below
** Kill both VMs
** Restart the host (factory-south)
** Manually start the virtual machines
** If needed, manually restarts the nightly build (See below)

== Manually restart the night builds ==

If the factory machines were restarted after the regular Nightly startup time, the nightly scripts will have to be explicitly started.

* Linux: Run <code>/home/kitware/Dashboards/DashboardScripts/factory-south-ubuntu.sh</code>

* MacOSX: Run <code>/Users/kitware/DashboardScripts/factory.sh</code>

* Windows: Open "Task Scheduled" -> slicer -> right click on "Nightly" -> Start

== Nightly Build startup times ==

* Linux: 11:10pm

* MacOSx: 11:10pm

* Windows: Midnight
