Overview

The Slicer factory machine is maintained by Kitware and produces dashboard builds of many software projects, including nightly, continuous, and packaged versions of Slicer and its approved extensions. See the 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.

According to the docs, the "-s" option should allow unattended install. However, I was unable to get this to work.

Check Virtual Machines (factory-south-ubuntu)

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

When

Every day (or as soon as issues are suspected)

What

  • Try to:
    • SSH into factory-south-ubuntu
  • If failure:
    • Connect to factory.south 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 /home/kitware/Dashboards/DashboardScripts/factory-south-ubuntu.sh
  • MacOSX: Run /Users/kitware/DashboardScripts/factory.sh
  • Windows: Open "Task Scheduled" -> slicer -> right click on "Nightly" -> Start

Nightly Build startup times

  • Linux: 11:10pm
  • MacOSx: 11:10pm
  • Windows: Midnight

Retired Hosts

factory.kitware (RETIRED)

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 this patch)
    • Since CMake release >= 3.6 is compiled only for >= 10.7, a custom build of cmake was done with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/Users/kitware/Dashboards/Support/CMake-3.9.0.app/Contents
  • Compiler llvm-3.1. Note that the default compiled shipped with XCode 4.2 is not used. See here for more details.
  • Tasks scheduled using cron
  • Nightly generation of HomebrewCasks: Installation aborted (newer system is required for homebrew/cask-repair).

Remote access: Via SSH or VNC from Kitware internal network (192.168.113.230).

factory-south-win7.kitware (RETIRED VM)

  • 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.

This VM is shutdown, build have been moved to overload.kitware
