XNATSlicer - Add extension about extensionsindex HOT 22 CLOSED

Hi Sunil,

Thanks for contributing 👍

To add an extension to the index, it should be available for at least: Linux, MacOSX and Windows.
In addition to 4.2, make also sure to submit extension built against slicer nightly.
See:

• http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/DocumentExtension
• http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/DocumentExtension#Actively_maintained_and_developed_extension
• http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/BuildTestPackageDistributeExtensions#Requesting_an_extension_version_update

from extensionsindex.

Sunil, how about you provide detailed instructions on the extension wiki page how it should be compiled/installed on Win64, before you figure out packaging issues on other platforms?

from extensionsindex.

Definitely. You'll see it on the wiki within the week.

Hi JC,

I'll thank you in advance here because I'm going to bug you a little bit :)

I'm confused as to where to go next. The extension I'm trying to package is a scripted module. When you say "submit extension built against slicer nightly," can you explain this process further and also the necessity of it?

My assumption here is that by pushing my .s4ext to the ExtensionsIndex I've given the Extension Manager all of the info it needs. I take it this is incorrect?

By the way Jc: we (Dan Marcus and I) asked Sunil to go ahead with the
Extension process even though his work is not yet supported on linux and
mac -- the reasoning was that many of the potential users will be on
windows and we didn't want to make them wait while the issues are sorted
out for the other platforms. Plus, once they start demanding this
extension for the other platforms it will be a reminder for us to figure
out all the OpenSSL issues :)

@pieper: Sounds good. That side, as mention @fedorov, more details should
be provided.

Hi Sunil,

I updated the documentation to clarify things. See
http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/BuildTestPackageDistributeExtensions#Contribute_an_extension_description_file

Let me know if you still have questions.

Hi JC,

That did clarify things. Thanks. Just to review, here's what I understand needs to happen (please let me know where I'm wrong):

1. Fork/update to 4.2 locally.
2. Regenerate the .s4ext file via CMake, instructions here: https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex#extension-build-test-package-and-upload-using-experimentalupload-target
3. Build the experimental-upload target, instructions in the above link
4. Push the newly generated .s4ext to the 4.2 ExtensionsIndex
5. Create a pull request on the ExtensionsIndex

The question I have is are these steps needed for scripted modules? If so, why? (I can infer some reasons, but I just want to make sure...)

Thanks again for letting me pester you here -- much appreciated.

Hi Sunil,

Steps are the same independently of the type of module bundled within an
extension.

I consolidated the different FAQ pages of the wiki, would be great if you
could update the following page by adding the question and the associated
answer.

See
http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/FAQ/Extensions

There is also a FAQ link available from the developer page:
http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php?title=Documentation/Nightly/Developers

Thanks

Hi JC,

I've spent the last few days trying to accomplish this. I'm having issues with the following step:

"Regenerate the .s4ext file by configuring your extension with CMake
see https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex#build-your-own-set-of-extensions-against-slicer-trunk-build-tree

I can configure/generate/build OK with cmake-gui+VS2008, but no new *.s4ext files are created. There are other files that get created, just nothing with the ".s4ext" extension. My questions are as follows:

1. Would a scripted module warrant a regenerated .s4ext?
2. Where should I be looking for the regenerated .s4ext? (It's not in the C:\path\to\customExtensions or the C:\path\to\customExtensions-build folders...)

Thanks in advance,
Sunil

from extensionsindex.

Hi Sunil,

The line that trigger the generation of the extension description file is
the one reported in [1]

You should also see an output similar to the following one:

[...]

Configuring Scripted module: ScriptedLoadableExtensionTemplate
-- Extension description has been written to:
/home/kitware/Dashboards/Nightly/SlicerExtensions-build-64bits-QT4.7.4-PythonQt-With-Tcl-CLI-Release-nightly-Testing-master/ScriptedLoadableExtensionTemplate-build/ScriptedLoadableExtensionTemplate.s4ext
-- Configuring done

[...]

See [2] for an example.

That's the original .s4ext file that I point cmake to, not the newly generated one. I'm guessing the new one should be in C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/bld, right? The timestamp on the file also confirms it hasn't been touched -- would cmake overwrite these files?

from extensionsindex.

Hi Sunil,

There are two concepts:

1. Developing an extension and generating the associated extension
   description file:

    - An extension description file will be generated in the build tree

of an extension each time it is configured. The output of the configuration
process of any given extension should display where the associated
description file has been generated.

    Assuming you develop extension Foo, you would have the following

structure:

 /path/to/Projects/Foo
 /path/to/Projects/Foo-build     #<--- where s4ext will be generated

2. Building one or multiple extensions using an existing set of
   description files

    - This is done by following

https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex#build-your-own-set-of-extensions-against-slicer-trunk-build-tree
(Implicitly, each extension will also be configured .. and as a
by-product an extension description file will be also generated ...)

  Example of directory structure corresponding to an extension index

having to extensions: Foo and Bar

          /path/to/Projects/MyExtensionsIndex/Foo.s4ext
          /path/to/Projects/MyExtensionsIndex/Bar.s4ext
          /path/to/Projects/MyExtensionsIndex-build/Foo
          /path/to/Projects/MyExtensionsIndex-build/Foo-build  #<---

where s4ext will be implictly generated
/path/to/Projects/MyExtensionsIndex-build/Bar
/path/to/Projects/MyExtensionsIndex-build/Bar-build #<---
where s4ext will be implictly generated

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Also agree the documentation is confusion, will be working on it in the
coming days by consolidating everything into the wiki. (instead of having
doc on github and on the wiki ..)

Thanks
Jc

Hi JC,

What I'm saying is that I'm following process (1), but it doesn't look like it works. At least in Windows.

For instance, I'm not getting any *.s4ext in the /path/to/Projects/Foo-build folder (for me, this is: C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/bld). Furthermore, the cmake output I posted above also shows that it doesn't create any new .s4ext file. (A VS2008 solution gets built fine, however.)

Any ideas, or could this be a potential bug?

-Sunil

from extensionsindex.

The log reported above is specific to process (2) since you were building an extension index. Anyway, as explained, if you look inside the folder:

C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/bld/SlicerXNAT-build

After building the index, you should see that a description file has been "implicitly" generated. In this case, the generated description file should be the same has the one already existing in the folder C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/

For information, a template scripted extension is being build every night on VS2008.

If you still have question, I propose you join tomorrow hangout 👍

from extensionsindex.

Hi JC,

I want thank you again for fielding my questions. It's greatly appreciated especially knowing how involved you are in all aspects of Slicer. I'm definitely interested in the hangout, though of all times I can't attend today's (assuming it's still at 4pm EST.)

Going back to the thread, when you say: "After building the index, you should see that a description file has been "implicitly" generated. In this case, the generated description file should be the same has the one already existing in the folder..."

do you mean there should be a new .s4ext file somewhere within the build path:

C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/bld/XNATSlicer-build

or is it the same XNATSlicer.s4ext file found in:

C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/

?

Below is a list of the files in the build directory:

C:/Users/skumar01/Desktop/XNATSlicerWiki/ExtensionsIndex/Custom/bld/XNATSlicer-build  

Notice there's nothing in the way of an .s4ext -- a file search verifies this. Again, everything builds OK.

Hi Sunil,

Given this new input, I am assuming you manually created the original s4ext
files and the following line is missing from your CMakeLists.txt:

include(${Slicer_EXTENSION_CPACK})

See here for an example:

Hi JC,

It looks like I'm getting a link error when I try and build the .sln file. (I've updated and built Slicer using the latest trunk, also.)

I'm going to move this discussion to the dev mailing list in case others face the same issue.

Thanks again for your help. Talk to you on the dev list!

Sounds good. And make sure to point us to the source code.
Thanks
Jc

No link errors now. Dah! But still no regenerated .s4ext. Will move to dev list anyway.

Closing the issue. A pull request will be submitted soon.
