2023-10-19gitlab ci: Rework how mirrors are configured (#39939)Scott Wittenburg1-0/+10
Improve how mirrors are used in gitlab ci, where we have until now thought of them as only a string. By configuring ci mirrors ahead of time using the proposed mirror templates, and by taking advantage of the expressiveness that spack now has for mirrors, this PR will allow us to easily switch the protocol/url we use for fetching binary dependencies. This change also deprecates some gitlab functionality and marks it for removal in Spack 0.23: - arguments to "spack ci generate": * --buildcache-destination * --copy-to - gitlab configuration options: * enable-artifacts-buildcache * temporary-storage-url-prefix

2021-05-28Pipelines: reproducible builds (#22887)Scott Wittenburg1-103/+257
### Overview The goal of this PR is to make gitlab pipeline builds (especially build failures) more reproducible outside of the pipeline environment. The two key changes here which aim to improve reproducibility are: 1. Produce a `spack.lock` during pipeline generation which is passed to child jobs via artifacts. This concretized environment is used both by generated child jobs as well as uploaded as an artifact to be used when reproducing the build locally. 2. In the `spack ci rebuild` command, if a spec needs to be rebuilt from source, do this by generating and running an `install.sh` shell script which is then also uploaded as a job artifact to be run during local reproduction. To make it easier to take advantage of improved build reproducibility, this PR also adds a new subcommand, `spack ci reproduce-build`, which, given a url to job artifacts: - fetches and unzips the job artifacts to a local directory - looks for the generated pipeline yaml and parses it to find details about the job to reproduce - attempts to provide a copy of the same version of spack used in the ci build - if the ci build used a docker image, the command prints a `docker run` command you can run to get an interactive shell for reproducing the build #### Some highlights One consequence of this change will be much smaller pipeline yaml files. By encoding the concrete environment in a `spack.lock` and passing to child jobs via artifacts, we will no longer need to encode the concrete root of each spec and write it into the job variables, greatly reducing the size of the generated pipeline yaml. Additionally `spack ci rebuild` output (stdout/stderr) is no longer internally redirected to a log file, so job output will appear directly in the gitlab job trace. With debug logging turned on, this often results in log files getting truncated because they exceed the maximum amount of log output gitlab allows. If this is a problem, you still have the option to `tee` command output to a file in the within the artifacts directory, as now each generated job exposes a `user_data` directory as an artifact, which you can fill with whatever you want in your custom job scripts. There are some changes to be aware of in how pipelines should be set up after this PR: #### Pipeline generation Because the pipeline generation job now writes a `spack.lock` artifact to be consumed by generated downstream jobs, `spack ci generate` takes a new option `--artifacts-root`, inside which it creates a `concrete_env` directory to place the lockfile. This artifacts root directory is also where the `user_data` directory will live, in case you want to generate any custom artifacts. If you do not provide `--artifacts-root`, the default is for it to create a `jobs_scratch_dir` within your `CI_PROJECT_DIR` (a gitlab predefined environment variable) or whatever is your current working directory if that variable isn't set. Here's the diff of the PR testing `.gitlab-ci.yml` taking advantage of the new option: ``` $ git diff develop..pipelines-reproducible-builds share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/.gitlab-ci.yml diff --git a/share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/.gitlab-ci.yml b/share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/.gitlab-ci.yml index 579d7b56f3..0247803a30 100644 --- a/share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/.gitlab-ci.yml +++ b/share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/.gitlab-ci.yml @@ -28,10 +28,11 @@ default: - cd share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/stacks/${SPACK_CI_STACK_NAME} - spack env activate --without-view . - spack ci generate --check-index-only + --artifacts-root "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/jobs_scratch_dir" --output-file "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/jobs_scratch_dir/cloud-ci-pipeline.yml" artifacts: paths: - - "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/jobs_scratch_dir/cloud-ci-pipeline.yml" + - "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/jobs_scratch_dir" tags: ["spack", "public", "medium", "x86_64"] interruptible: true ``` Notice how we replaced the specific pointer to the generated pipeline file with its containing folder, the same folder we passed as `--artifacts-root`. This way anything in that directory (the generated pipeline yaml, as well as the concrete environment directory containing the `spack.lock`) will be uploaded as an artifact and available to the downstream jobs. #### Rebuild jobs Rebuild jobs now must activate the concrete environment created by `spack ci generate` and provided via artifacts. When the pipeline is generated, a directory called `concrete_environment` is created within the artifacts root directory, and this is where the `spack.lock` file is written to be passed to the generated rebuild jobs. The artifacts root directory can be specified using the `--artifacts-root` option to `spack ci generate`, otherwise, it is assumed to be `$CI_PROJECT_DIR`. The directory containing the concrete environment files (`spack.yaml` and `spack.lock`) is then passed to generated child jobs via the `SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR` variable in the generated pipeline yaml file. When you don't provide custom `script` sections in your `mappings` within the `gitlab-ci` section of your `spack.yaml`, the default behavior of rebuild jobs is now to change into `SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR` and activate that environment. If you do provide custom rebuild scripts in your `spack.yaml`, be aware those scripts should do the same thing: assume `SPACK_CONCRETE_ENV_DIR` contains the concretized environment to activate. No other changes to existing custom rebuild scripts should be required as a result of this PR. As mentioned above, one key change made in this PR is the generation of the `install.sh` script by the rebuild jobs, as that same script is both run by the CI rebuild job as well as exported as an artifact to aid in subsequent attempts to reproduce the build outside of CI. The generated `install.sh` script contains only a single `spack install` command with arguments computed by `spack ci rebuild`. If the install fails, the job trace in gitlab will contain instructions on how to reproduce the build locally: ``` To reproduce this build locally, run: spack ci reproduce-build https://gitlab.next.spack.io/api/v4/projects/7/jobs/240607/artifacts [--working-dir <dir>] If this project does not have public pipelines, you will need to first: export GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN=<generated_token> ... then follow the printed instructions. ``` When run locally, the `spack ci reproduce-build` command shown above will download and process the job artifacts from gitlab, then print out instructions you can copy-paste to run a local reproducer of the CI job. This PR includes a few other changes to the way pipelines work, see the documentation on pipelines for more details. This PR erelies on ~- [ ] #23194 to be able to refer to uninstalled specs by DAG hash~ EDIT: that is going to take longer to come to fruition, so for now, we will continue to install specs represented by a concrete `spec.yaml` file on disk. - [x] #22657 to support install a single spec already present in the active, concrete environment

2021-02-16Pipelines: DAG Pruning (#20435)Scott Wittenburg1-18/+90
Pipelines: DAG pruning During the pipeline generation staging process we check each spec against all configured mirrors to determine whether it is up to date on any of the mirrors. By default, and with the --prune-dag argument to "spack ci generate", any spec already up to date on at least one remote mirror is omitted from the generated pipeline. To generate jobs for up to date specs instead of omitting them, use the --no-prune-dag argument. To speed up the pipeline generation process, pass the --check-index-only argument. This will cause spack to check only remote buildcache indices and avoid directly fetching any spec.yaml files from mirrors. The drawback is that if the remote buildcache index is out of date, spec rebuild jobs may be scheduled unnecessarily. This change removes the final-stage-rebuild-index block from gitlab-ci section of spack.yaml. Now rebuilding the buildcache index of the mirror specified in the spack.yaml is the default, unless "rebuild-index: False" is set. Spack assigns the generated rebuild-index job runner attributes from an optional new "service-job-attributes" block, which is also used as the source of runner attributes for another generated non-build job, a no-op job, which spack generates to avoid gitlab errors when DAG pruning results in empty pipelines.

2020-09-14Document pipeline keys which can be global but overriddenScott Wittenburg1-6/+108
Update pipelines documentation to describe how 'tags', 'variables', 'image', 'before_script', 'script', and 'after_script' can be supplied at the top level, to be used by any of the runner mappings, and also overridden by any of the runner mappings. Also show an example of capturing the custom spack SHA at pipeline generation time, so all jobs are sure to run with the same version of spack, as a means to illustrate the $env:VARIABLE_NAME syntax.

2020-05-14Pipelines: Support DAG scheduling and dynamic child pipelinesScott Wittenburg1-74/+56
This change also adds a code path through the spack ci pipelines infrastructure which supports PR testing on the Spack repository. Gitlab pipelines run as a result of a PR (either creation or pushing to a PR branch) will only verify that the packages in the environment build without error. When the PR branch is merged to develop, another pipeline will run which results in the generated binaries getting pushed to the binary mirror.
