Additional Features¶
Accessing build history (buildtest history)¶
Note
buildtest hy is an alias for buildtest history command.
buildtest keeps track of all builds (buildtest build) that can be retrieved using buildtest history command
which can be useful when you want to analyze or troubleshoot past builds. The buildtest history command comes with two
subcommands buildtest history list and buildtest history query.
If you want to list all builds you should run buildtest history list which will report a table style format of all builds with corresponding build ID to differentiate each build. Shown below is an example output. The build IDs start at 0 and increment as you run buildtest build command.
$ buildtest history list

The buildtest history query command is particularly useful when you want to inspect a particular build. This command
expects a Build Identifier which can be found by inspecting output column id in buildtest history list.
Shown below is an output of build ID 0 which reports relevant detail for the build such as input command, username, hostname, platform, date, etc…
$ buildtest history query 0

If you want to see all available build IDs, you can use the following command. The -t is terse format and --no-header will
omit the headers for each column and pipe the output to cut to extract the first column which corresponds to build IDs.
$ buildtest hy list -t --no-header | cut -f 1 -d '|'

buildtest has tab complete on buildtest history query which reports a list of build IDs which is another way to
see available IDs to query.
$ buildtest history query
0 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 20 21 22 23 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
If you want to see logfile for build ID 0 you can use --log option to see logfile in an editor as follows:
buildtest history query 0 --log
buildtest will store output of buildtest build command to file if command ran to completion. You can retrieve output of previous
builds using the --output option. In example below we show output of build file
$ buildtest history query --output 0

Accessing buildtest documentation¶
We provide two command line options to access main documentation and schema docs. This will open a browser on your machine.
To access buildtest docs you can run:
buildtest docs
To access schema docs you can run:
buildtest schemadocs
Disabling Colored Output¶
buildtest will display output in color format using the rich.Console
class. You can disable colored output via buildtest --no-color argument or set this
persistent via environment variable BUILDTEST_COLOR=False.
CDASH Integration (buildtest cdash)¶
The buildtest cdash command is responsible for uploading tests to CDASH server. You will
need to specify Configuring test directory in your configuration file. Shown below is the command
usage.
$ buildtest cdash --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] cdash [-h] ...
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
subcommands:
buildtest CDASH integeration
view Open CDASH project in webbrowser
upload Upload Test to CDASH server
The buildtest cdash upload command is responsible for uploading all tests in report.json
into CDASH. You must specify a buildname when using buildtest cdash upload in this example we will
specify a buildname called tutorials:
$ buildtest cdash upload tutorials
Reading configuration file: /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/buildtest/settings/config.yml
Reading report file: /Users/siddiq90/.buildtest/report.json
build name: tutorials
site: generic
stamp: 20210428-1512-Experimental
MD5SUM: d7651cb3fbdd19298b0188c441704c3a
PUT STATUS: 200
You can view the results at: https://my.cdash.org//viewTest.php?buildid=2004360
We can see the output of these tests in CDASH if we go to url https://my.cdash.org//viewTest.php?buildid=2004360
By default buildtest will read the report file in your $HOME/.buildtest/report.json, we can
specify an alternate report file. First let’s see the available help options for
buildtest cdash upload.
$ buildtest cdash upload --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] cdash upload [-h] [--site SITE]
buildname
positional arguments:
buildname Specify Build Name reported in CDASH
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--site SITE Specify site name reported in CDASH
We can pass an alternate report file using -r option when uploading tests
to CDASH. This can be useful if you want to map test results to different buildnames in CDASH
perhaps running a different subset of tests via buildtest build --tags and upload
the test results with different buildname assuming you have different paths to report file.
Let’s say we want to build all python tests using tags and store them in a report file which we
want to push to CDASH with buildgroup name python we can do that as follows
$ buildtest -r $BUILDTEST_ROOT/python.json build --tags python

You can view the results at: https://my.cdash.org//viewTest.php?buildid=2143287
The buildtest cdash view command can be used to open CDASH project in a web browser
using the command line. This feature assumes you have set the CDASH setting in your
configuration file.
Cleaning buildtest files (buildtest clean)¶
The buildtest clean command can be used to remove files generated by buildtest such
as test files, report files, buildspec cache, and history files. You will be prompted for
response to clean up files for confirmation. If you want to avoid user response you can use buildtest clean -y
to accept confirmation for all prompts and buildtest will remove the files.
$ buildtest clean
Remove Test Directory /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/tests (y/n) [default: y]
Remove Report File /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/report.json (y/n) [default: y]
Remove History Directory /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/.history (y/n) [default: y]
Remove Buildspec Cache /Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/buildspecs/cache.json (y/n) [default: y]
======> Remove Test Directory
======> Removing Report File
======> Removing History Directory
======> Removing buildspec cache
Changing Directories (buildtest cd)¶
The buildtest cd command can be used to change directory to root of test given
a test name. The change will be applied to your shell upon completion of
command. Let’s assume we want to change directory to root of test exit1_pass we can do this as
follows:
$ buildtest cd exit1_pass
Changing directory to root of test: exit1_pass/8c4b6ac9-e94e-40d9-8d96-7aaa3a5d3723
$ pwd
/Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/tests/generic.local.sh/pass_returncode/exit1_pass/8c4b6ac9
In this previous example, buildtest will use the latest run for test exit1_pass and switch directory to root of test.
We can confirm this directory is from the latest run by running the following command. The testroot is a property
in the report table that can be fetch via --format field. The --latest option will fetch
the latest run for the test.
$ buildtest report --latest --filter name=exit1_pass --format testroot --terse --no-header
/Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/tests/generic.local.sh/pass_returncode/exit1_pass/8c4b6ac9
If you switch cd into a particular build you can specify the name followed by backslash and name of test ID. In this example below,
we will specify test name kernel_swapusage/1fa and buildtest will attempt to find first record that starts with the test ID and switch
directory to root of test.
$ buildtest cd kernel_swapusage/1fa
Changing directory to root of test: kernel_swapusage/1fa21875-b099-41b6-8bc7-30e0d2dcc13b
$ pwd
/Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/tests/generic.local.bash/kernel_state/kernel_swapusage/1fa21875
Get Path for Test (buildtest path)¶
The buildtest path command is used to display path attributes for a test that is available in the test report.
Shown below are available options for buildtest path
$ buildtest path -h
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] path [-h] [-t | -o | -e | -b | -s] name
positional arguments:
name Name of test
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t, --testpath Show path to test script
-o, --outfile Show path to output file
-e, --errfile Show path to error file
-b, --buildscript Show path to build script
-s, --stagedir Show path to stage directory
If you want to fetch the last run for any given test you can specify the name of the test as follows: buildtest path <name>.
We can specify a test ID for a test by separating the name and test ID with backslash character (/) as follows: buildtest path <name>/<ID>
If you don’t specify any option you will get root of test. In this example, we will retrieve testroot
for test variables_bash which is a property of the test found in the report file.
$ buildtest path variables_bash
/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.14.0/var/tests/generic.local.bash/vars/variables_bash/03e69249
You can get path to testscript via -t option as show below
$ buildtest path -t variables_bash
/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.14.0/var/tests/generic.local.bash/vars/variables_bash/03e69249/variables_bash.sh
If you want to see content of output file, you can use -o option with cat command as follows:
$ cat $(buildtest path -o variables_bash)
1+2=3
this is a literal string
\'singlequote\'
"doublequote"
current user: docs
number of files: 4
Hello my name is Bob
I am 30 years old
In this next example we will query test circle_area with build ID aaa and buildtest will find the first match record that starts with this record and resolves to aaaa622d which is the short ID of test. In the second example we query the latest path for latest run for test circle_area
$ buildtest path circle_area/aaa
/Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/tests/generic.local.python/python-shell/circle_area/aaaa622d
$ buildtest path circle_area
/Users/siddiq90/Documents/GitHubDesktop/buildtest/var/tests/generic.local.python/python-shell/circle_area/fc221b84
We have setup mutual exclusion to avoid user from passing two option at same time. If you do run into this situation you will get the following error.
$ buildtest path -o -e variables_bash
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] path [-h] [-t | -o | -e | -b | -s] name
buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] path: error: argument -e/--errfile: not allowed with argument -o/--outfile
If you specify an invalid test name or buildtest can’t find the test id, then buildtest will print list of available test names with IDs.
Buildtest Debug Report (buildtest debugreport)¶
The buildtest debugreport command is used for debugging especially when you want to raise
an issue to buildtest project. This command will provide system details
along with configuration file and output of log file during the report.

Command Line Interface to buildtest configuration¶
Once you have implemented your buildtest configuration, you can query the configuration
details using buildtest config command. Shown below is the command usage.
$ buildtest config --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] config [-h] ...
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
subcommands:
Query information from buildtest configuration file
compilers
Search compilers
edit Open configuration file in editor
executors
Query executors from buildtest configuration
systems List all available systems
validate Validate buildtest settings file with schema.
view View configuration file
Note
buildtest cg is an alias for buildtest config command.
Validate buildtest configuration (buildtest config validate)¶
First thing you should do once you implement your configuration file is to make sure your configuration is valid with the schema.
This can be achieved by running buildtest config validate. When you invoke this
command, buildtest will load the configuration and attempt to validate the file with
schema settings.schema.json. If validation is successful you will get the following message:
$ buildtest config validate
/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/buildtest/checkouts/v0.14.0/buildtest/settings/config.yml is valid
Note
If you defined a user setting (~/.buildtest/config.yml) buildtest will validate this file instead of default one.
If there is an error during validation, the output from jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError
will be displayed in terminal. For example the error below indicates that
moduletool property was expecting one of the values
[environment-modules, lmod, N/A] but it recieved a value of none:
$ buildtest config validate
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/siddiq90/Documents/buildtest/bin/buildtest", line 17, in <module>

File "/Users/siddiq90/.local/share/virtualenvs/buildtest-1gHVG2Pd/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jsonschema/validators.py", line 934, in validate
raise error

View buildtest configuration (buildtest config view)¶
If you want to view buildtest configuration you can run buildtest config view which will print content of buildtest configuration.
$ buildtest config view

Note
buildtest config view will display contents of user buildtest settings ~/.buildtest/config.yml if found, otherwise it will display the default configuration
View Executors (buildtest config executors)¶
You can use the command buildtest config executors to view executors from buildtest
configuration file. Shown below is the command usage
$ buildtest config executors --help
usage: buildtest [options] [COMMANDS] config executors [-h]
[-j | -y | -d | -i]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-j, --json View executor in JSON format
-y, --yaml View executors in YAML format
-d, --disabled Show disabled executors
-i, --invalid Show invalid executors
You can run buildtest config executors without any options and it will report a list of named executors that
you would reference in buildspec using the executor property. If you prefer json or yaml format you can use --json or --yaml option.
$ buildtest config executors
generic.local.bash
generic.local.sh
generic.local.csh
generic.local.zsh
View Registered Systems¶
Your buildtest configuration may compose of one or more systems since you can define multiple systems
in a single configuration file to run buildtest for different HPC clusters. You can use
buildtest config systems to report all system details defined in your configuration file.
In this example below we should the generic system. If you have multiple entries, you will see one
entry per system record.
$ buildtest config systems

Example Configurations¶
buildtest provides a few example configurations for configuring buildtest this
can be retrieved by running buildtest schema -n settings.schema.json --examples
or short option (-e), which will validate each example with schema file
settings.schema.json.
$ buildtest schema -n settings.schema.json -e
