Fix build issues - macOS rpath, wheel paths, missing pytest #1229

speth · 2022-03-26T23:54:23Z

Changes proposed in this pull request

Fix SCons always rebuilding wheels due to not predicting the file name correctly -- I ended up adopting @bryanwweber's approach for setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET from Add package workflow #1158 after all
Force SCons to include rpath flags when linking on macOS so libraries that are not in system locations can be used for dependencies (such as libraries installed in a conda environment)
Provide a better error message in the test summary when pytest is not installed
Suppress XML deprecation warnings from ctml_writer that are generated during scons build

Looks like the docs need a pinned jinja2, like the website did

The Windows failures are due to Setuptools. Something with Python 3.7 apparently. I'll look when I'm at a computer.

I'm very confused by the error building the Python module in those two instances (which I don't think has anything to do with the changes introduced in this PR, given main is also failing). Searching turned up a couple of other instances reporting failures at the same place inside distutils, but no resolution. For example: tensorflow/tensorflow#27477 and jwyang/faster-rcnn.pytorch#681.

For posterity, the traceback in the build log is:

speth · 2022-03-29T01:03:45Z

Investigating the more detailed logging output that has been temporarily enabled, the difference that I've noticed between these two cases is that when the build succeeds, the logs for pip wheel contain (in part):

  ...
  creating build\lib.win-amd64-3.9\cantera\examples\thermo
  creating build\lib.win-amd64-3.9\cantera\examples\transport
  running build_ext
  installing to build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel
  running install
  running install_lib
  ...

while for the failing builds, they contain the following:

  creating build\lib.win-amd64-3.7\cantera\examples\thermo
  creating build\lib.win-amd64-3.7\cantera\examples\transport
  running build_ext
  building 'cantera._cantera' extension
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.7.9\x64\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\pep517\in_process\_in_process.py", line 363, in <module>
      main()

which indicates that in the failing case, setuptools or wheel or pip (I really don't understand any of this infrastructure) erroneously thinks there's actually something that needs to be compiled.

speth · 2022-03-29T12:56:14Z

Looking through earlier builds on the main branch, the failing builds with Python 3.7 are due to changing from setuptools 60.x to 61.x. Pinning setuptools to version 60 on those builders seems to fix the problem.

speth · 2022-03-29T13:11:45Z

The release notes for setuptools 61.0.0 mentions pypa/setuptools#2894 as a "breaking change"

Projects that currently don’t specify both packages and py_modules in their configuration and contain extra folders or Python files (not meant for distribution), might see these files being included in the wheel archive or even experience the build to fail.

If this is the cause of our problems, I have no idea why it's restricted to such a narrow configuration of builders. Also, I find it irritating that there is no logging information even at the highest debug loglevel about what setuptools is trying to do during the build_ext step.

Eliminate duplication in building the list of external libraries to link to between SConstruct and src/SConscript.

On macOS, sysconfig.get_platform() returns a string like 'macosx-11.0-arm64', but the wheel filename will actually contain 'macosx_11_0_arm64'.

This prevents rebuilds of the wheel file every time 'scons build' is run because the actual wheel file doesn't match the expected name. Co-authored-by: Bryan W. Weber <bryan.w.weber@gmail.com>

bryanwweber · 2022-03-29T22:42:19Z

Thanks for all the work here @speth! I'll review it tonight. My only concern right away is that the wheel has the right name, it should have some platform information in it.

speth · 2022-03-29T23:55:11Z

Huh, I didn't realize that the bits in setup.py were what was responsible for tricking setuptools into generating a platform-specific wheels. Let's see if overriding setuptools.dist.Distribution.has_ext_modules works any better...

bryanwweber · 2022-03-30T00:00:30Z

Huh, I didn't realize that the bits in setup.py were what was responsible for tricking setuptools into generating a platform-specific wheels.

It's not a trick, really... C extensions are what cause the requirement for platform-specific wheels, so you have to tell setuptools that it's building an extension. Previously, it decided that since there were no source files, it could just package the library. Dunno why that stopped working.

speth · 2022-03-30T00:26:30Z

Yes, I understand that the compiled extension is the reason that the wheel should be platform specific. But what was being specified was an empty extension module, while we just stick the actual compiled extension module in as if it's just "data" and setuptools does not recognize it as creating a platform dependency (which would be asking a lot). So I think this "empty extension module" really is a bit of a hack and setuptools ought to provide a better way of handling situations where there is platform-specific package content but it's not being compiled by setuptools.

bryanwweber

Thanks @speth! The tests pass and I can confirm that I'm getting platform specific wheels locally. Just a couple minor comments here.

I don't think this line is required. At least, the same files are packaged in the wheel whether this is here or not.

This was based on reading of the (conflicting) documentation about this new "discovery" feature of setuptools, where it says:

Projects that currently don’t specify both packages and py_modules in their configuration and contain extra folders or Python files (not meant for distribution), might see these files being included in the wheel archive or even experience the build to fail.

Elsewhere, it says:

Automatic discovery will only be enabled if you don’t provide any configuration for packages and py_modules. If at least one of them is explicitly set, automatic discovery will not take place.

So I really don't know. But I guess we can see if everything still works without it.

I have setuptools 61.1.1, so I'm not sure.

Their documentation is terrible, a mishmash of stuff copied from the original distutils (and still duplicated in the official Python docs), random pages of (maybe?) best practices, and no complete API specification. But hey, it looks pretty!

            "which will enable this feature.")
-        sys.exit(1)
+        sys.exit(21)


Was this change intentional?

Yes, this specific error code now checked for in test/SConscript so we can provide a better error message in the case where pytest is not installed rather than just "the entire Python test suite failed". I'll add a comment for this.

Something changed in setuptools that causes the old method of forcing platform-specific wheels to be built to break for certain configurations (specifically, Windows builds with Python 3.7). This alternative approach appears to be more robust. Also increase the logging from 'pip wheel' to help with debugging

The old way of handling declarations for static members of a template class was weird and required different implementations for different compilers. This approach is standards-conformant and works everywhere.
