Trying to build a cmake package, but the installdir is being deleted or doesn't exist afterwards

[smac89]

I created this package xmake file for hello-imgui:

package("hello-imgui")
    set_homepage("https://github.com/pthom/hello_imgui")
    set_description("Hello, Dear ImGui: unleash your creativity in app development and prototyping")
    set_license("MIT")
    set_policy("package.librarydeps.strict_compatibility", true)

    add_urls("https://github.com/pthom/hello_imgui/archive/refs/tags/$(version).tar.gz")
    add_versions("v1.4.2", "1de7df2400076e18bbb519759999ccc9e93381e1d25b382b5c503e41fce767eb")

    add_configs(
        "has_opengl3",
        {description = "Use OpenGL3 as a rendering backend. This is the recommended choice, especially for beginners", default = false, type = "boolean"}
    )
    add_configs("has_metal", {description = "Use Metal as a rendering backend. Apple only, advanced users only", default = false, type = "boolean"})
    add_configs("has_vulkan", {description = "Use Vulkan as a rendering backend. Advanced users only", default = false, type = "boolean"})
    add_configs("has_directx11", {description = "Use DirectX11 as a rendering backend. Windows only, still experimental", default = false, type = "boolean"})
    add_configs(
        "has_directx12",
        {description = "Use DirectX12 as a rendering backend. Windows only, advanced users only, still experimental", default = false, type = "boolean"}
    )
    add_configs("use_sdl2", {description = "Use Sdl2 as a platform backend", default = false, type = "boolean"})
    add_configs("use_glfw3", {description = "Use Glfw3 as a platform backend", default = false, type = "boolean"})
    add_configs("use_freetype", {description = "Use freetype for text rendering", default = true, type = "boolean"})

    add_configs("imgui_version", {description = "Use the specfied version of imgui", default = "*", type = "string"})

    add_deps("cmake")

    on_load(function (package)
        if package:config("has_opengl3") then
            package:add("deps", "glad")
        elseif package:config("has_vulkan") then
            package:add("deps", "vulkansdk")
        end
        if package:config("use_sdl2") then
            package:add("deps", "libsdl")
        elseif package:config("use_glfw3") then
            package:add("deps", "glfw")
        end
        if package:config("use_freetype") then
            package:add("deps", "freetype")
        end
        -- https://xmake.io/#/manual/global_interfaces?id=use-as-a-private-package
        package:add("deps", "imgui-src " .. package:config("imgui_version"), {private = true})
    end)

    on_install("windows", "macosx", "linux", function (package)
        local configs = {}
        local imgui_src_dep = package:dep("imgui-src")

        table.insert(configs, "-DHELLOIMGUI_IMGUI_SOURCE_DIR=" .. path.join(imgui_src_dep:cachedir(), "source", imgui_src_dep:name()))

        table.insert(configs, "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=" .. (package:is_debug() and "Debug" or "Release"))
        table.insert(configs, "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=" .. (package:config("shared") and "ON" or "OFF"))
        for name, enabled in pairs(package:configs()) do
            table.insert(configs, "-DHELLOIMGUI_" .. name:upper() .. "=" .. (enabled and "ON" or "OFF"))
        end
        import("package.tools.cmake").install(package, configs)
    end)

    on_test(function (package)
        assert(package:check_cxxsnippets({test = [[
            #include <hello_imgui/hello_imgui.h>
            int main(int , char *[]) {
                HelloImGui::Run(
                    []{ ImGui::Text("Hello, world!"); }, // Gui code
                    "Hello!", true);                     // Window title + Window size auto
            }
        ]]}, {configs = {language = "cxx17"}}))
    end)

The package file for imgui-src is defined simply as:

package("imgui-src")
    set_base("imgui")
    on_install(function () end)
    on_test(function() end)

When I build the hello-imgui package, everything looks good, and I even see this towards the end:

{ 
  sysincludedirs = { 
    "/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e/include" 
  },
  license = "MIT",
  static = true,
  links = { 
    "stb_hello_imgui",
    "imgui",
    "hello_imgui",
    "lunasvg" 
  },
  version = "v1.4.2",
  linkdirs = { 
    "/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e/lib" 
  },
  libfiles = { 
    "/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e/lib/libstb_hello_imgui.a",
    "/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e/lib/libimgui.a",
    "/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e/lib/libhello_imgui.a",

  } 
}

However, at the end I get the following error:

  => install hello-imgui v1.4.2 .. failed
error: install failed!

I investigated this issue for some time yesterday, and discovered that the package installdir (/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e) was actually never created or was deleted right after the installation. In any case, it doesn't exist, which could explain why the linker is having a hard time finding what it needs.

Any help would be appreciated

I did more testing and it looks like the contents of the installdir are being wiped right after it's finished. Here is the output of inotifywatch on the installdir:

Strace also shows that it is xmake delete the files, not some other process spanwed during the build process. At this point, this is sounding like a bug to me.

This is indeed a bug, and has to do with on_test and package:check_cxxsnippets.

1. If the test fails, xmake deletes everything in the install folder.
2. check_cxxsnippets does not produce the correct compile command. Given the above snippet, it tries to execute this command:

   /usr/bin/g++ -o /tmp/.xmake1000/240401/_82EDF1BAE8414A10880A19FFAB1D9D20.b /tmp/.xmake1000/240401/_82EDF1BAE8414A10880A19FFAB1D9D20.o -m64 -L/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/h/hello-imgui/v1.4.2/3867d18f39804217a9828d5ad141028e/lib -L/home/user/.local/share/xmake/packages/g/glad/v0.1.36/dd6f7de88060486a93ea896ea2b462ea/lib -L/usr/lib -lstb_hello_imgui -limgui -lhello_imgui -llunasvg -lglad -lSDL2 -lfreetype -lz -ldl

   Notice the lack of a .cpp file anywhere in the command? It doesn't include the source file.
   I was able to fix the issue with check_cxxsnippets, by specifying the linking order for the library. I had to add the following add_linkorders("hello_imgui", "stb_hello_imgui", "imgui") to the package file

For now, I've decided to ignore the snippet issue and settled for a simpler test:

assert(package:has_cxxincludes("hello_imgui/hello_imgui.h"))

Which works

I'm having the same issue while making a self-build private repository/package for V8. I'd like to write a PR once it is working fine (at least for the config I'm using).

Currently, on_test removes any installation of a successful build. It is inconvenient when build process takes a lot of times (30min and more)... while only trying to write/fix a test.

Is there an option to prevent this behaviour and let on_test fail without a rollback?
I'd appreciate any feedback :)

see https://xmake.io/#/guide/faq?id=debugging-local-package-source-code

you can edit and debug package source code in a special directory.

[poirierlouis]

Thank you :) I'll try this, and hopefully I can declare include/ files from the package to a target...
