[vtk-developers] Failing dashboard tests

[Sankhesh Jhaveri]

Hello all,

I am in the process of setting up a new dashboard on a machine with an
ATI graphics card. The results of a nightly dashboard submission are
here:  http://open.cdash.org/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=3109741 .
There are 28 failing tests. Marcus agrees that we can add a new baseline
for the TestLinePlotColors test. What about the other tests? Are they
failing because of graphics card issues? Should they be suppressed? Or
are there changes in VTK code required? 

Almost half of the tests are failing because the vtkMPIController is
leaking. With George's help, we were able to ascertain that MPI is
indeed starting two different test processes(thats why two output
messages) but does not account for the two processes and exits with an
error. The question is, whether it is valid to assume that there is an
issue with the VTK MPI test code or is there a flag/setting in CMake
that needs to be changed? 

List of tests failing on the aurora dashboard:
