CTest failure with linux installation script (Ubuntu 24.04)

[jlee52]

Hi,

I encountered an error while I am installing opensim core on Ubuntu 24.04. Specifially, it failed with ctest. It is hard to catch the main cause since the log did not provide details. I have attached the errors I got below.

Reporter input-output connections in XML:
<TableReporter__Vec3_ name="reporter">



<report_time_interval>0.10000000000000001</report_time_interval>

<input_inputs>/body|position ..|com_position(com_pos)</input_inputs>
</TableReporter__Vec3_>

Outputs connected to the reporter:
/body|position
..|com_position(com_pos)

75% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 4

Total Test time (real) = 248.08 sec

The following tests FAILED:
4 - python_examples (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

Any suggestions to resolve this issue?

@jlee52 could you provide more information on the failed test and how it is interrupting your workflow? If you don't need the Python bindings, you could just disable them in the script.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for your response. This is only errors I got from scripts. Is there any other logs locally saved from this buidling scripts?

I need python bindings, so I'd like to resolve this issue. FYI, I got the same this failure both in Linux and WSL setup. Both uses Ubuntu 24.04. The python version was 3.12.3.

@jlee52 it seems like the real failure is happening somewhere higher up. If the tests are running, then the Python bindings built successfully, even if they fail. So we might just need to fix one of the tests, and you're already good to go.

If you're willing, you could try installing the bindings and manually running the scripts controlled by the python_examples target to figure out where the test failure is happening.
