buildtest release v0.2.0

This is a major release update on buildtest with additional options and most importantly ability to test software stack without easybuild. buildtest can be used to test multiple software trees, with ability to disable easybuild check for software stack built without easybuild. The easybuild verification in buildtest has been simplified and it can easily report which software is built by easybuild.

buildtest can report difference between 2 module trees and multiple module trees can be specified at same time for building test, and listing software, and software-version. There has been some improvement on how buildtest operates with Flat-Naming-Scheme (FNS) module naming scheme for module tree. Basically you don't need to use --toolchain option with buildtest if you are using FNS naming scheme but for HMNS module tree you will need to use --toolchain option

Summary of changes

  • Add short option -mns for --module-naming-scheme and report total count for software, toolchain and software-version for options -ls, -lt, -svr
  • Adding options --clean-logs, --clean-tests for removing directories via command line
  • The file config.yaml is used to modify buildtest configuration and users can modify this to get buildtest working.
  • Environment variables can override configuration in config.yaml to allow further flexibility
  • add option --logdir to specify alternate path from the command line
  • remove option --check-setup
  • buildtest can operate on multiple module trees for option -ls and -svr
  • rename option --modules-to-easyconfigs to --easyconfigs-to-moduletrees with a short option -ecmt
  • add option to show difference between module trees using --diff-tree
  • Fixed a bug where .version files were reported in method get_module_list
  • Add option --ignore-easybuild to disable easybuild check for a module tree
  • rename buildtest variables in source code
  • add option --show to display buildtest configuration
  • add option --enable-job to enable Job integration with buildtest this is used with options --job-template
  • rename all sub-directories in repo BUILDTEST_CONFIGS_REPO to lowercase to allow buildtest to generate tests if software is lower case such as gcc and GCC in the module file. This enables buildtest to operate with module trees that dont follow easybuild convention
  • buildtest will only generate tests for packages in python, R, ruby, perl when using --testset option if software has these packages installed. This avoids having to create excess test when they are bound to fail
  • --testset option now works properly for both HMNS and FNS module naming scheme and is able to operate on modules that don't follow easybuild module naming convention
