Ctest Failure with Latest CMake

When using the latest version of CMake (4.0.2) to build and run tests with ctest, a failure occurs in the test_ecbuild_add_option test. This test is designed to verify the functionality of the ecbuild_add_option function, which is a crucial component of the ecbuild project. However, with the latest CMake version, this test fails, indicating a potential issue with the compatibility of ecbuild with the new CMake version.

Understanding the Error Message

The error message provided by ctest indicates that the test failed with the following output:

..... Call Stack (most recent call first): /data/users/david.davies/ecbuild-develop/cmake/compat/ecbuild_compat_require.cmake:145 (ecbuild_warn) /data/users/david.davies/ecbuild-develop/cmake/ecbuild_add_option.cmake:236 (ecbuild_compat_require) CMakeLists.txt:27 (ecbuild_add_option)

-- Could NOT find foo: Found unsuitable version "1.2.3", but required is at least "2.1" (found 1) -- Could NOT find package foo required for feature TEST_K -- Provide foo location with -DFOO_PATH=/... -- Feature TEST_K was not enabled (also not requested) -- following required packages weren't found: foo HAVE_TEST_A = 1 as expected HAVE_TEST_B = 1 as expected HAVE_TEST_C = 0 as expected HAVE_TEST_D = 1 as expected HAVE_TEST_E = 0 as expected HAVE_TEST_F = 1 as expected HAVE_TEST_G = 0 as expected HAVE_TEST_H = 1 as expected HAVE_TEST_I = 1 as expected HAVE_TEST_J = 0 as expected HAVE_TEST_K = 0 as expected -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

95% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 19

Analyzing the Error Message

The error message indicates that the test failed due to the inability to find the foo package, which is required for the TEST_K feature. The message also mentions that the foo package was found with an unsuitable version, which is less than the required version of 2.1. This suggests that there may be an issue with the compatibility of ecbuild with the latest CMake version.

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?

Troubleshooting the Issue

To troubleshoot the issue, we need to investigate the compatibility of ecbuild with the latest CMake version. We can start by checking the CMake version used to build ecbuild and the version used to run ctests. We can also check the ecbuild code for any changes that may have affected the compatibility with the latest CMake version.

Potential Solutions

Based on the analysis of the error message, we can identify the following potential solutions:

  1. Update ecbuild code: Update the ecbuild code to be compatible with the latest CMake version.
  2. Use an older CMake version: Use an older version of CMake that is compatible with ecbuild.
  3. Provide the foo package: Provide the foo package with the required version to the ecbuild project.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the test_ecbuild_add_option test fails with the latest CMake version (4.0.2) due to compatibility issues. To troubleshoot the issue, we need to investigate the compatibility of ecbuild with the latest CMake version and identify potential solutions to resolve the issue.

Recommendations

Based on the analysis of the error message, we recommend the following:

  1. Update ecbuild code: Update the ecbuild code to be compatible with the latest CMake version.
  2. Use an older CMake version: Use an older version of CMake that is compatible with ecbuild.
  3. Provide the foo package: Provide the foo package with the required version to the ecbuild project.

Q: What is the issue with the latest CMake version?

A: The issue with the latest CMake version is that it is not compatible with the ecbuild project, causing the test_ecbuild_add_option test to fail.
