Hi All, At the SciPy 09 sprints I worked with John Hunter on our automated build and test infrastructure. It's still not *quite* there, but I thought I'd point out a few things at this stage. (Much of this email is more-or-less a status update for John.)
0. We have automated tests now running triggered by SVN commits. Most of the image comparison tests are running and passing, but there are a few failures. One seems to be a real bug that has cropped up since James Evans generated the baseline image suite. Another seems to have been fixed in that time. The rest seem to be a font rendering issue that is still unresolved. Real bug?: http://mpl.code.astraw.com/#test-matplotlib-testaxes-formatter-ticker-005 Fixed?: http://mpl.code.astraw.com/#test-plots-testpolar-polar-wrap-180 1. The buildbot waterfall display is online at http://mpl-buildbot.code.astraw.com/waterfall 2. A number of tests are failing because of font placement and/or font anti-aliasing. (The baseline images seem to have slightly different font images than generated ones, and generated ones are different on Mac OS X and Ubuntu.) I think John is going to have an attempt at allowing font anti-aliasing to be disabled. We'll see if that fixes it. The bug is filed at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2843243&group_id=80706&atid=560720 3. I've figured out how to get the buildslaves to upload to the buildmaster. It turns out this is supported in buildbot. (See http://djmitche.github.com/buildbot/docs/0.7.10/#Transferring-Files ) 4. I have made use of the upload ability to gather the rendered, baseline, and absdiff images in the case of failed tests. Right now, with the help of a simple script to generate static html pages via rst, I'm publishing these onto http://mpl.code.astraw.com/ . (We could use a similar mechanism to publish nightly builds.) I'd like to make links in the appropriate place in the buildbot output to the image comparison pages, but I have not dug into the buildbot sources to figure out how to do that. 5. John (or other devs), I can give you login access to the buildmaster on my VPS if you send me an ssh public key to use for that purpose. 6. The buildslave that John installed on the Sage project's Mac machine seems to be failing to resolve the hostname `matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net', and thus can no longer build because it can't pull down svn commits. John--do you have any idea what's going on here? Hopefully, we'll have all this sorted out soon. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
