[PkgEval] Gadfly may have a testing issue on Julia 0.4 (2014-08-30) #409

IainNZ · 2014-08-30T18:03:11Z

PackageEvaluator.jl is a script that runs nightly. It attempts to load all Julia packages and run their tests (if available) on both the stable version of Julia (0.3) and the nightly build of the unstable version (0.4). The results of this script are used to generate a package listing enhanced with testing results.

On Julia 0.4

On 2014-08-29 the testing status was Tests pass.
On 2014-08-30 the testing status changed to Package doesn't load.

Tests pass. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they all passed.

Package doesn't load. means that PackageEvaluator did not find tests for your package. Additionally, trying to load your package with using failed.

This issue was filed because your testing status became worse. No additional issues will be filed if your package remains in this state, and no issue will be filed if it improves. If you'd like to opt-out of these status-change messages, reply to this message saying you'd like to and @IainNZ will add an exception. If you'd like to discuss PackageEvaluator.jl please file an issue at the repository. For example, your package may be untestable on the test machine due to a dependency - an exception can be added.

I guess this just has to be updated for 0.4.0. It is useful to have a compatible version for 0.3.x as well.

JeffBezanson · 2014-09-02T22:14:49Z

:cries: Would love to have a gadfly that can at least be loaded under 0.4.

IainNZ · 2014-09-02T22:26:15Z

@Keno just fixed the equivalent in TexExtensions, it could be ported to Gadfly (or even into Base?)

IainNZ · 2014-09-02T22:26:38Z

I'd do it but no time for next few days

timholy · 2014-09-02T22:48:34Z

Keno/TexExtensions.jl@f97aaa9

timholy · 2014-09-03T00:04:50Z

Would be good to have @quinnj check this over, however; TexExtensions doesn't have any "real" tests (I just added one that checks whether the package loads), and I confess I was more interested in fixing the Images->SIUnits->TexExtensions load dependency chain than in getting the right answer 😄.

JeffBezanson · 2014-09-03T00:25:56Z

+10 for exposing a richer number formatting API that would have made direct use of grisu unnecessary. I've always felt there should be a good way to do formatting without making printf format strings or calling un-exported functions.

StefanKarpinski · 2014-09-03T03:03:07Z

I was actually just thinking about / working on this today. There's certainly much better that can be done.

quinnj · 2014-09-03T11:38:31Z

Yes, I've been thinking about this too. The problem is I haven't really wanted to replace the @grisu_ccall with a similar, unexported, inner module call. I think we could keep it simple at first and provide

showshortest: show the shortest float representation
showprecision: show the float with precision number of digits total
showfixed: show the float with fixed number of digits after the decimal

Which just mirrors the grisu API overall.

StefanKarpinski · 2014-09-03T12:32:20Z

I don't think that's going to make people especially happy unless it also includes a lot of controls for doing printf-like formatting when calling those.

quinnj · 2014-09-05T13:37:04Z

I guess I'm not sure what you have in mind that's non-overlapping with printf? Are people unsatisfied with printf?

StefanKarpinski · 2014-09-05T14:24:20Z

Jeff is unsatisfied with printf ;-)

quinnj · 2014-09-05T18:07:07Z

Got it. Well, feel free to throw up an issue with ideas or sketches and I can chime in on molding grisu if needed. I have a few ideas on JuliaLang/julia#6608 that I need to play around with in the mean time.

sglyon · 2014-09-12T16:35:00Z

Any update on getting Gadfly to run under 0.4?

dcjones · 2014-09-12T17:36:32Z

What needs to be updated is the use of dates and grisu. Gadfly calls both of those just to format values nicely. That formatting code should be removed from Gadfly and put either in Base or a separate package.

The abstraction I need is basically “format n values consistently and with sufficient precision”. I imagine that must be useful elsewhere (e.g. printing arrays or data frames with user-defined types), and it would really improve the situation with plotting non-number types in gadfly: if labels are messed up, it's the responsibility of whoever defined the type to write a reasonable format function.

dcjones · 2014-09-12T17:38:19Z

But to actually answer your question: it doesn't work yet, but I want to actually take the time to do the formatting thing right this time rather than patch over it.

papamarkou · 2014-09-15T09:59:44Z

You may have seen this; @Keno and @timholy sorted this @Base.Grisu.grisu_ccall issue in TeXExtensions.jl, see Keno/TexExtensions.jl/72ea141826c1ea926718f75c7c586cf79fb24549, in case you would like to provide a temporary patch until a more permanent resolution is reached.

dcjones · 2014-09-20T16:39:21Z

I've made some updates and on julia 0.4, Gadfly will now randomly, and with about equal probability, either work perfectly, segfault, or throw a setindex! not defined for Array{V,1} error. Progress?

papamarkou · 2014-09-20T17:26:28Z

Just tried it after removing completely my ~/.julia/v0.4 dir, and Pkg.update()ing but I get the same grisu error, with probability 1...

dcjones · 2014-09-20T17:27:50Z

Oh, I haven't tagged a new version yet. I wanted to figure out the weird errors first. But you can try it on master.

papamarkou · 2014-09-20T17:42:31Z

I cloned Gadfly and Showoff, but got again the same grisu error, will try again tomorrow though (as I will be away from the laptop for the next few hours).

papamarkou · 2014-09-20T17:43:20Z

P.S. This is what I get:

ERROR: @grisu_ccall not defined

dcjones · 2014-09-20T17:45:17Z

I see, I had uncommitted changes in Showoff. Now it should work.

papamarkou · 2014-09-21T03:58:35Z

Hurrah, it works! No grisu error anymore nor Date/datetime errors (in relation to #401), Gadfly opened its wings again.

cndesantana · 2014-09-24T08:59:23Z

Hi,

I am using Julia Version 0.4.0-dev+734 (2014-09-23 18:22 UTC) in a Debian GNU/Linux. I just tried to use Gadfly in the way you suggested here and I found the same error in grisu_ccall:

1)- I removed my folder .julia
2)- In julia, I called Pkg.add("Gadfly") - it installed everything well
3)- I called using Gadfly and got the following message:

julia> using Gadfly

Any other idea?

Thanks for your attention,

Charles

ivarne · 2014-09-24T09:08:00Z

@cndesantana There has probably not been tagged a new version of Gadfly yet. You will have to do ```julia
Pkg.checkout("Gadfly")
Pkg.chekcout("Showoff")

to use the master branch. Not sure if more dependencies needs to be on the master branch.

When this is fixed and versions gets tagged again, you should do 

```julia
Pkg.free("Gadfly")
Pkg.free("Showoff")

So that you get back to using tagged versions.

cndesantana · 2014-09-24T09:11:36Z

Exactly this, @dcjones! ;)

Thank you for your help! It is working perfectly now! :)

I did:

julia> Pkg.checkout("Gadfly")
INFO: Checking out Gadfly master...
INFO: Pulling Gadfly latest master...
INFO: Cloning cache of Showoff from git://github.com/dcjones/Showoff.jl.git
INFO: Installing Showoff v0.0.1

julia> Pkg.checkout("Showoff")
INFO: Checking out Showoff master...
INFO: Pulling Showoff latest master...
INFO: No packages to install, update or remove

julia> using Gadfly

Best,

Charles
