Module M test fails

[MaximePrs]

Hello,

I have some issues while running make test and I don't know how to solve it.
It seems similar to the following discussion Neper tests FAILED.
Even when making the indicated corrections, the problem is not solved.

Neper version: 4.4.2-33
Gmsh version: 4.11.0 (available with command line gmsh)
Ubuntu version: 18.04
Failed test list:

88% tests passed, 40 tests failed out of 331

Do you know if there is a solution or could I use neper without solving it ?

Many thanks.

Gmsh installation issue.

Since version 4.11 is still under development, I assume you have compiled it from the sources. Did you resolve all dependencies (which you can see at Gmsh's cmake .. stage)?

I just installed the last Gmsh (development) version, and all Neper tests pass on my computer.

[MaximePrs]

I tried to solve all the dependencies issues with the IT service to install correctly Gmsh (with stable release 4.10.5) and then rebuilt neper.
After those steps, the problem is not solved. I even have more failed tests (from module T and M and 1 from module V).
However, when I run the minimal test mode, everything pass.
Is the problem from the different versions of software ?

Could I assume that neper works correctly because minimal tests pass ?

[rquey]

Yes, it's a good sign. Not sure what is happening, but it may be only that the reference results (which normal testing compares against) were built on Ubuntu 20.04 while you are running 18.04...

[MaximePrs]

The IT service also tried to install Neper using a virtual machine with Ubuntu 20.04 and all the dependencies with the version (or higher) used to generate the output files.
It is the same result observed when running the tests for me; there are many failed tests (174).

Since tests passed when using minimal mode, I will use Neper as it is and hope it will not induce too many errors.
Thank you for your support.

Hello Romain,

I have a similar issue, and thus replying here (should i make a new thread?)
I am trying an installation on WSL, with Ubuntu 22.04.
The tests are failing mostly in the M and V modules. I have installed the dependencies (GNU Scientific Library, OpenMP, pthread, Gmsh 4.8.4, POV-Ray and Asymptote).

Any Ideas what i am doing wrong? My assumption is either gmsh or asymptote, but i cannot locate the issue.

Hi all!

I just had the same issue when installing Neper in Ubuntu 20.04 and I fixed it by installing the latest version of Gmsh, which is 4.11. Now all tests pass. When I installed Gmsh from terminal (apt-get), the version by default is 4.4, which apparently fails for Neper tests. I hope this helps!

Best,
Eugenia

To this comment (@rquey can correct me if I am wrong), I think there are a couple of points to be made:

• Overall, you are much better off installing Gmsh from source rather than via apt-get, as the latter will have a severe drop in efficiency. The overhead of source installation is worth it.
• I have also experienced some issues with Gmsh on Ubuntu 22 for meshing. The tests fail, but not because the meshes are different: only because some of the ordering in the mesh file is different. So, the difference that the testing is looking for between the reference mesh and the printed mesh yields a failure, but they are---for practical purposes---the same. To @eugenianietov, I think you can use a newer version of Gmsh no problem, just dig into the meshing failures to see that when interpreted, they are likely yielding practically the same results.

hi
Where can I find the installation package for 4.11?
use apt-get is 4.8.4.

As @mkasemer pointed out above, "you are much better off installing Gmsh from source rather than via apt-get, as the latter will have a severe drop in efficiency. The overhead of source installation is worth it.".
