Call for volunteers to test the updated NetCDF v4.8.1 (in particular for Windows and Apple users) #165

Alexander-Barth · 2022-03-02T16:07:48Z

I updated NetCDF to v4.8.1 and I would like to have some feedback in particular from Windows and Apple users (x86_64 and M1 (also called aarch64)). Currently Windows support is broken in NetCDF_jll.

Does somebody volunteer to test the NetCDF library ?

Here are the steps on Linux. In the following one should adapt the file names for other system. Please let me know if you are unsure what to do.

use the appropriate file https://data-assimilation.net/upload/Alex/NetCDF_jll/ and download it and extract it to a temporary folder (test-dir)

For example:

wget https://data-assimilation.net/upload/Alex/NetCDF_jll/NetCDF.v400.802.102.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
# create empty directory test-dir 
cd ~
mkdir test-dir
tar -C test-dir -xvf NetCDF.v400.802.102.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Start julia

using Pkg
mkdir("temp-env")
Pkg.activate("temp-env")
Pkg.add(["Preferences", "NetCDF_jll", "NetCDF"])
using Preferences, NetCDF_jll
@show NetCDF_jll.libnetcdf # this is the file to be replaced
set_preferences!(NetCDF_jll, "libnetcdf_path" => "/home/abarth/test-dir/lib/libnetcdf.so") # adapt path: *.dll on windows, *.dylib on macos
# important: restart julia

test NCDatasets.jl

using Pkg
Pkg.activate("temp-env")
Pkg.add(PackageSpec(name="NCDatasets", rev="master"))
using NetCDF_jll, NCDatasets
@show NetCDF_jll.libnetcdf # new library
include(joinpath(dirname(pathof(NCDatasets)),"..","test","runtests.jl"))
# expected output
# NetCDF library: /home/abarth/test-dir/lib/libnetcdf.so

test NetCDF.jl

using Pkg
Pkg.activate("temp-env")
using NetCDF, NetCDF_jll
@show NetCDF_jll.libnetcdf
# output: "/home/abarth/test-dir/lib/libnetcdf.so"
include(joinpath(dirname(pathof(NetCDF)),"..","test","runtests.jl"))

# expected output

# NetCDF        |   28     28

Note Pkg.test("NCDatasets") or Pkg.test("NetCDF") does not work because it ignores the defined preferences.

One should have HDF5_jll with the version v1.12.1+0 to make these tests:

Hi Alex, if time allows I'll give it a try with Windows.
It has to be with MinGW, isn't it?

Alexander-Barth · 2022-03-02T16:42:07Z

To just test the pre-compiled binares, you do not need to have MinGW. MinGW is (only) necessary to compile the C code.

visr · 2022-03-02T16:42:42Z

Thanks for your efforts! I followed the steps on Windows, but unfortunately I still get hit by the same issue. Just like with the previous version, it loads fine, and can create NC3 fine, but not NC4 (HDF5). You can see from the DLL name and version that it is picking up the new one you built.

The testing can just be done in Windows. MinGW is used for building the library.

The tarball also contains nccopy.exe. I am wondering if we get also an error when we use:

nccopy -k netCDF-4 some_existing_file.nc output.nc

(probably all *.dll files need to be in the same folder next to the binary on Windows)

Alexander-Barth · 2022-03-03T08:51:52Z

I tried to setup a CI test and it seem to work when I downgrade HDF5_jll to 1.12.0 on Windows. Binaries are in:
https://data-assimilation.net/upload/Alex/NetCDF_jll_debug/

https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/NCDatasets.jl/runs/5403552073?check_suite_focus=true

visr · 2022-03-03T10:00:20Z

Ah yes, if I download this latest debug build, and add [email protected] in my environment, then all tests pass in Windows. So the main problem perhaps is with the HDF5_jll 1.12.1 build, right? I see 1.13 has also been out since December.

felixcremer · 2022-03-03T13:38:14Z

Thanks for pushing this. I tested it on Ubuntu and it works.

Alexander-Barth · 2022-03-03T19:42:08Z

@visr Yes, this seems to be a HDF5_jll issue (unfortunately, only HDF5_jll 1.12.1 supports Apple M1).
If a Windows user could test nccopy (or ncgen) from these tar files (https://data-assimilation.net/upload/Alex/NetCDF_jll/), that could help us to know if we can reproduce the issue independently from a julia package:

@felixcremer Thanks for checking and reporting back!

I cannot get any of the executables to produce any output, they all return directly. I tried copying either version of the HDF5_jll DLLs into the same directory but it doesn't help. Probably other DLLs bundled with Julia or HDF5_jll dependencies are needed as well. That makes these zips hard to test outside of julia. To use them from inside julia they should be added as ExecutableProduct in build_tarballs.jl in Yggdrasil, then julia can take care of loading the right dependencies, when used like this: https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GDAL.jl#using-the-gdal-and-ogr-utilities.

It would be easier to test these builds if we didn't only have the tarballs, but also the JLL package. Did you know that it is possible to create these locally with --deploy=local or on GitHub with --deploy="Alexander-Barth/NetCDF_jll.jl". Or do I misunderstand, and does that only create the tarballs?

I did not know about the deploy option (thanks for letting me know). I tested it (https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/NetCDF_jll.jl with the problematic HDF5 v1.12.1) and the deployment works indeed nicely.

I did not realize that the exe files in the tar balls cannot be (easily) used.

If somebody has an idea how to get Windows support back, one can generate the binaries with the following command (after cloning Yggdrasil

cd Yggdrasil/N/NetCDF/[email protected]
julia --color=yes ./build_tarballs.jl x86_64-linux-gnu,aarch64-linux-gnu,x86_64-apple-darwin,aarch64-apple-darwin,x86_64-w64-mingw32,i686-w64-mingw32  --deploy="<your github user name>/NetCDF_jll.jl"

Testing in julia is indeed much easier as one can install it via ]add https://github.com/<your github user name>/NetCDF_jll.jl
