Slicer3:Testing

How to do testing in Slicer3.

Setting up automatic builds

Windows

For windows you need to use the Add Scheduled Task option in the Control Panel to create the build. This task runs in a 'dumb' dos shell, so you need to help it get jump started. The following works:

• create a .bat file that that is called from the Scheduled Task
• create a shell script that runs the build and call that from the .bat file

Here's an example for run.bat:

echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

set CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec

rxvt -sl 1000 -e c:/pieper/run.csh -l

this example uses rxvt, which is available from cygwin, but not installed by default (it's an xterm ported to cygwin).

And here's an example run.csh:

#!/bin/csh

setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem"

c:/pieper/bwh/slicer3/latest/Slicer3/Scripts/getbuildtest.tcl --update --test-type Nightly |& c:/cygwin/bin/tee c:/pieper/bwh/slicer3/latest/Slicer3.build-log

c:/cygwin/bin/sleep 5

Unix

Here's an example script that can be dropped into /etc/cron.daily

#!/bin/tcsh

cd /home/pieper/slicer3/nightly
rm -rf Slicer3 Slicer3-lib Slicer3-build

su - pieper -c "cd /home/pieper/slicer3/nightly; svn co http://www.na-mic.org/svn/Slicer3/trunk Slicer3 |& tee nightly.log"
su - pieper -c "cd /home/pieper/slicer3/nightly; ./Slicer3/Scripts/getbuildtest.tcl -t Nightly |& tee -a nightly.log"

Note: this assumes your shell is csh-like. If you use bash, replace the "|&" with "2>&1 |".
