[Cdash] Dashboard view only shows last build with APPEND, but build page shows both

[O'Shea, David]

Hi David,
 
Thanks, we have installed the latest version from Subversion but the
issue doesn't appear to have been fixed - I still see the same behaviour
as before.
 
By the way, I assume the fix you're referring to is revision 2579/issue
#10975?
 
As you can see from the comments in the CTest script snippet my original
post, I tried various combinations of "APPEND" options.  I've tried a
few of them again.  What exactly is actually the "correct" way of doing
this?  Should the following work?
 
>>>
ctest_empty_binary_directory(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
ctest_start("Experimental")
ctest_configure(OPTIONS [...])
ctest_read_custom_files(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
ctest_build()
ctest_test()
ctest_coverage()
 
set(CTEST_NOTES_FILES
    [...])
 
ctest_submit()
 
ctest_build(TARGET "doc"
            APPEND)
ctest_submit(PARTS Build)
<<<
 
Thanks,
David
 
PS Thanks Julien, I do see the fix for bug #11108 is working!

	It is fairly stable. When in doubt, just check CDash's dashboard
itself: http://www.cdash.org/CDash/index.php?project=CDash 

	We have two failing tests that we are working on fixing. And we
have been adding tests over the last few months to get better coverage
on the nightly test suite. Overall, I would say svn trunk is actually in
better shape than the 1-6 branch at this point in time. (Because it is
fairly stable and there are a handful of bug fixes like this one that
are in it...)

	Let us know how it turns out.

	Thanks,
	David

		Hi David,
		 
		Thanks for your response and suggested workaround!  With
regards to using an SVN trunk installation of CDash, that is possible.
I don't want to annoy our IT administrator too much, though, so is it
fairly stable?
		 
		Regards,

				Hi all,
				
				I'm using 'ctest -S' to run a script
which performs configure, build
				('make all'), test, coverage, and then
an additional build ('make
				doc'), and submitting the result to
CDash 1.6.4.
				
				Here is what I think is the
"interesting" part of the script:
				
				>>>
	
ctest_empty_binary_directory(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
				ctest_start("Experimental")
				ctest_configure(OPTIONS [...])
	
ctest_read_custom_files(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
				ctest_build(APPEND)
				# tried with and without "APPEND" in
ctest_build() above
				ctest_test()
				ctest_coverage()
				
				set(CTEST_NOTES_FILES
				   [...])
				
				ctest_submit()
				
				ctest_start("Experimental" APPEND)
				# tried with and without the additional
call to ctest_start() above
				ctest_build(TARGET "doc"
				           APPEND)
				ctest_submit(PARTS Build)
				<<<
				
				For the purposes of my test, I've made
the first ctest_build() report
				1 warning plus 2 errors, and the second
ctest_build() report 4
				warnings.
				
				The issue I'm having is that, after the
first ctest_submit(), the main
				dashboard page in CDash shows in the
"Build" columns the warnings and
				errors from the first ctest_build() (1
warning plus 2 errors), but
				once the second ctest_submit() has been
executed, only the results of
				the second ctest_build() are shown (0
errors and 4 warnings).
				
				When I click on the build name in the
"Build Name" column to see the
				details of the build, in the "Current
Build" table, it shows the total
				errors (2) and warnings (5), which is
what I'd expect to see on the
				main dashboard page.
				
				I assume this is a bug, and not by
design?
				



				Correct -- this *was* a bug in CDash. I
know the fix was committed to svn trunk of CDash within the past several
weeks. Is there any way you can try this scenario with an "svn trunk"
installation of CDash, or do you not have control over the CDash
server...?

				It should be fixed in svn trunk of
CDash, and in the next official release (1.8, sometime later this
year?).


				HTH,
				David
