Re: [Plplot-devel] Linux testing

[<p.d...@gm...>]

Hi Pedro

I hadn't realised you were accessing your machines remotely. I assumed that the VMs were local. Although I was accessing mu ubuntu remotely to, but using the cygwin x server. I'm not sure if the ubuntu bash on windows using xming counts as remote. Maybe this is the cause of the differences.
However we should try to work with this somehow.

However obviously Christmas is here. So I'm likely to be busy with family things until at least the 27th. I'll try to keep up with emails, but that's likely my limit. Maybe I need to actually dig into the wxGTK code and work out what happens properly.

@Alan

I changed the thread tittle, because I have all kinds of weird results on my 
comprehensing testing.

first the obvious:

items 1) to 3) below are for the master branch

1) a Fortran error on Ubuntu 14.04

this was a simple
cmake ..  -G "Unix 
Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/pvicente/plplot-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
 -DBUILD_TEST=ON
make VERBOSE=1 >& make.txt

but it detected gfortran and tried to build the fortran code.
output is attached

2)

then I disabled Fortran

cmake ..  -G "Unix 
Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/pvicente/plplot-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
 -DENABLE_f95:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_tcl:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_tk:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_TEST=ON
make VERBOSE=1
no errors

then (note , running from the build location)

pvicente@glace:~/plplot-plplot/build$ 
../scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --cmake_added_options 
"-DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_wxwidgets=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_wxwidgets=ON 
 -DENABLE_cxx=ON -DPLPLOT_WX_DEBUG_OUTPUT=ON -DPLPLOT_WX_NANOSEC=ON -DENABLE_f95:BOOL=OFF" 
 --do_test_noninteractive no --do_ctest no

Each of the steps in this comprehensive test may take a while....
cmake in the build tree
ERROR: cmake in the build tree failed

How can I capture the output here? It asks for a interactive (yes/no), can I 
disable this and instead redirect the output to a file?


3)

On another Linux, 16.04,  where *I don't* have gfortran

cmake ..  -G "Unix 
Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/pvn/plplot-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
  -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DPLPLOT_WX_DEBUG_OUTPUT=ON
make VERBOSE=1
make VERBOSE=1 test_wxPLplotDemo

Infinite loop
22:25:42: Debug: Plot() Yielding

pvn@server:~/plplot-plplot/build$ 
../scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --cmake_added_options 
"-DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_wxwidgets=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_wxwidgets=ON 
 -DENABLE_cxx=ON -DPLPLOT_WX_DEBUG_OUTPUT=ON -DPLPLOT_WX_NANOSEC=ON" --do_test_noninteractive 
no --do_ctest no

then it stays here (I suppose because of the infinite loop)
and I get a blank plviewer window

Each of the steps in this comprehensive test may take a while....
cmake in the build tree
make -j4 VERBOSE=1 test_interactive in the build tree

4)

results for my patch commit

@Phil
I was able to make the example 01 run with no runtime errors by 
re-introduncing the OnCreate() event (but also keeping the Create() call).
But then I got other errors.
I am not sure what are the consequences of these changes, so here it's 
better for me to wait until you provide some insight into this.

to do items:

1)

it would be great if any of you could reproduce my test_wxPLplotDemo 
behavior on Linux

the response from the developer


> This is not completely unexpected, the window is only really created when
> it's "realized" in GTK+/X11 terms, which can take quite some time, in
> particular if a remote X server is used


could this "remote X server is used" be because I am accesing my linux 
machines remotely ? (by using X2Go)


2)

maybe put the master back with one of the workarounds that I don't have the 
infinite loop,
so that I have a better idea of what happens in the comprehensing testing?
