[Paraview-developers] New git repo: reporting changed repo after only pull

[Moreland, Kenneth]

How will that work?  If I put it before ctest_update, then it will run before the VTK submodule SHA gets updated.  Thus, it my not grab the commit that you actually need.  Or does the submodule update command implicitly fetch everything from the remote regardless of whether it is needed?

You want to put it before ctest_update is called.

I tried adding your execute_process after my call to ctest_update, but I don't think it's quite working.  The problem is that the submodule update command does not get run until after the ctest_update call returns, and by that time CTest has already determined that the update has failed.

Where exactly should I be putting the execute_process?

You're going to want to add something like this in your script for initial checkout:

  execute_process(
    COMMAND \"${CTEST_GIT_COMMAND}\" submodule init
    WORKING_DIRECTORY \"${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}\"
    )

And for each update you'll want:

  execute_process(
    COMMAND \"${CTEST_GIT_COMMAND}\" submodule update --recursive --
    WORKING_DIRECTORY \"${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}\"
    )

Also this will be handy:

# Look for a GIT command-line client.
if(NOT DEFINED CTEST_GIT_COMMAND)
find_program(CTEST_GIT_COMMAND NAMES git git.cmd)
endif()

I do not know if ctest knows how to update submodules automatically. I have it on my todo list to talk to Brad King about this for the same reason for updating the ParaView dashboards here at Kitware. I'll share what I find out.

Yes.  That seems to fix the problem.  However, is there a way to get ctest to run that after pulling?  Otherwise we'll still get a bunch of errors in the dashboard.

does 'git submodule update' help?

I noticed something odd when converting to the new git repositories today.  After only cloning the repository, setting up the modules, and then pulling (using the --rebase flag as described on the Wiki), status reports that I have made a change in my repository even though I have not.  Here is a terminal capture of a newly cloned ParaView repository (after modules and hooks are set up).
